#Brocade san switch command how to

Of course as a consequence in Fabric every switch has always unique Domain_ID, therefore unique Domain Controller Address, therefore unique ID. This command writes the defined configuration and the name of the effective configuration to nonvolatile memory in all switches in the fabric. Use this command to save the current zone configuration. Permanent Port Name: 50:06:04:8a:d5:4f:23:10 For the description of this step/command, IвЂ™m going to quote from the Brocade Command Line Reference because I just couldnвЂ™t say it better. The following example shows the output for the reboot command: 7840FCIP2:admin> reboot Warning: This command would cause the switch to reboot and result in traffic disruption. Once the reboot is complete, the switch is renamed in all places. Through SSH It is pretty straightforward, launch ssh client, enter your switch ip and credential, you will be in the command line. NodeSymb: 'EMC SYMMETRIX 000000000001 'ДЇabric Port Name: 20:02:00:05:1e:32:12:01 If you are renaming both switches in the fabric, reboot both switches. Enable the New/Updated Zone Configuration. Add Zones to a New or Existing Zone Configuration 5. N 40a500 3 50:06:04:8a:d5:4f:23:10 50: 06:04:8a:d5:4f:23:10 Below IвЂ™m going to cover Step by Step instructions or zoning your Brocade switch when Web Tools and/or Brocade Network Adviser is not available. Now we can actually execute the same nodefind command on switch05: switch05> nodefind 50:06:04:8a:d5:4f:23:10 And there it is вЂ“ our Switch with Domain_ID=40 is switch05. This is considered as the name/ID of the switch. FFFC xx is the Address of the Domain Controller вЂ“ xx represents the Domain ID. What interests us is the ID of the Switch. For that just go with the command fabricshow: switch01> fabricshow Now we have a final step вЂ“ to identify which switch is it. We know the FC Address of our port, we know to which Domain it belongs and exactly to which port. Port Index: 165 вЂ“ is already given (as hex) in Core PID Address.If this switch required shared area addressing (basically more than 255), the first 8 bit of Node ID would be вЂњborrowedвЂќ as Area ID as well. 00 вЂ“ this is the Node ID вЂ“ 00, because to this port only one Node is connected directly / No NPIV.As you can see this is exactly вЂ“ our Port Index. a5 вЂ“ this is the Area ID вЂ“ a5 hex = 165 dec.But in few words вЂ“ First 8 bits are Domain ID, another 8 bits are Area ID, and last 8 bits are Node ID вЂ“ 00 or AP_PA, so:

I mentioned FC Addressing in Fibre Channel addressing entry if you wish to refresh the knowledge.

40a500 вЂ“ is a 24bit ( Core PID format) FC Address.

Remote means that this WWN is connected to another switch in the Fabric.

By default when you login to the switch, you will be in EXEC mode. This task must be performed for each FC switch fabric. The Brocade ICX 6430-C switch supports the same feature set as the Brocade ICX 6430 switch unless otherwise noted. Instead, you should use the LE or LS setting to configure the distance on the Brocade switches. So modify the procedure according the user choice. You must not use the LD setting when issuing the portCfgLongDistance command when working with xWDM/TDM equipment. Note: Some of the steps might not be required based on the user scenario (deletion of host alias or array alias if the host or array ports is still zoned).

Below procedure explains how to remove the zones from active configuration and delete zones & alias from zone database. Zone removal/deletion can be done to clean up SAN fabric when a host is not using SAN storage or when a host/array is decommissioned.
