Description Use this command to create a logical switch and to modify logical switch configurations.
The logical switch feature provides the ability to partition a single physical switch into multiple
switch instances. Each of these switch partitions is referred to as a logical switch (LS). The logical
switch feature allows you to configure multiple logical fabrics on top of a base (physical) fabric.
Each logical fabric is made up of logical switches that share the physical resources of the base
fabric, for example, interswitch link (ISL) connectivity. At the same time, protocol and management
isolation of each logical fabric is maintained, and each logical fabric can scale independently.
The Default Logical Switch is created by the system and cannot be deleted. All switch ports not
explicitly assigned to a logical switch are part of the default logical switch.
The logical switch feature is supported only on hardware platforms that are Virtual Fabric-aware
and run Fabric OS v6.2.0 or later. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for specific hardware
support.
The Virtual Fabric (VF) feature must be enabled on the switch before you can configure a logical
switch. Use the fosconfig --enable vf command to enable the feature. Use the fosconfig --show
command to determine whether the VF feature is enabled or disabled on the switch.
Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
Not all commands that support the -force option will prompt for user input when used without the
-force option.
Operands This command has the following operands:
--
create Creates a logical switch instance. The following operands are supported.
FID Specifies the Fabric ID. Each logical switch in a chassis is assigned a unique
fabric identifier. The FID address space is shared between logical switches
and EX_Ports. Valid FID values are integers between 1 and 128. The default
logical switch is assigned FID 128 by default. This operand is required.
