Displaying logical switch configuration

Use the following procedure to display the configuration for a logical switch:

1. Connect to the physical chassis and log in using an account with the chassis-role permission.

2. Enter the lsCfg command to display a list of all logical switches and the ports assigned to them:

lscfg --show [ -provision ]

If the -provision option is specified, all ports on all slots are displayed, regardless of the slot
status.

Example displaying a list of all of the logical switches and the ports assigned to them

sw0:FID128:admin> lscfg --show

Created switches: 128(ds) 4 5

Port 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
-------------------------------------------------------------------
FID 128 | 128 | 128 | 128 | 128 | 128 | 128 | 128 | 5 | 5 |

Changing the fabric ID of a logical switch

The following procedure describes how you can change the fabric ID of an existing logical switch.
The fabric ID indicates in which fabric the logical switch participates. By changing the fabric ID, you
are moving the logical switch from one fabric to another.

Changing the fabric ID requires permission for chassis management operations. You cannot
change the FID of your own logical switch context.

NOTE

If you are in the context of the logical switch with the fabric ID you want to change, you are
automatically logged out when the fabric ID changes. To avoid being logged out, make sure you are
in the context of a different logical switch from the one with the fabric ID you are changing.

Use the following procedure to change the fabric ID of a logical switch:

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.

2. Enter the lsCfg command to change the fabric ID of a logical switch:

lscfg --change fabricID -newfid newFID

3. Enter y at the prompt.

4. Enable the logical switch.

fosexec --fid newFID -cmd "switchenable"

Example of changing the fabric ID on the logical switch from 5 to 7

sw0:FID128:admin> lscfg --change 5 -newfid 7
Changing of a switch fid requires that the switch be disabled.
