Deprecated commands
There are no commands deprecated in v7.2.1.
CLI usage conventions
•Some Fabric OS show commands display certain switch or fabric components in three-digit
decimal numbers, for example, 003. When you use these numeric identifiers as inputs to other
commands, you must remove the leading zeros; otherwise the commands will either fail or
generate incorrect results. Adding zeros to any decimal number in a command input will cause
that number to be treated as an Octal number.
•Automatic page breaks in CLI command output displays are being phased out. Use the more
option to display command output with page breaks: command | more. Do not use the more
option in conjunction with help pages. Executing help command | more will display a
command “no manual entry for command” message.

If you cannot use the licenseIdShow command because the switch is inoperable, you can get the
WWN from the same place as the serial number, except for the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8,
and DCX 8510-4. On these models, access the numbers on the WWN cards by removing the
Brocade logo plate at the top of the non-port side of the chassis.

Using Fabric OS Commands
Using the command line interface
The Fabric OS command line interface (CLI), accessed via Telnet, SSH, or serial console, provides
full management capability on a Brocade switch. The Fabric OS CLI enables an administrator to
monitor and manage individual switches, ports, and entire fabrics from a standard workstation.
Selected commands must be issued from a secure Telnet or SSH session.
Access is controlled by a switch-level password for each access level. The commands available
through the CLI are based on the user’s login role and the license keys used to unlock certain
features.
The Fabric OS CLI provides the following capabilities:
•Access to the full range of Fabric OS features, given the license keys installed.
•Assistance with configuration, monitoring, dynamic provisioning, and daily management of
every aspect of storage area networks (SANs).
•A deeper view of the tasks involved in managing a Brocade SAN.
•Identification, isolation, and management of SAN events across every switch in the fabric.
•Management of Brocade licenses.
The documentation for each command includes a synopsis of its syntax, a description of command
use, and a set of examples. The same information can be accessed by issuing the help command
followed by the command name on a Brocade switch or director. This command displays the help
page for the specified command. For example, to display the help page for portCfg, enter:
switch:admin> help portCfg
Understanding Role-Based Access Control
Fabric OS implements Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to control access to all Fabric OS
operations.
Eight predefined roles are supported, as described in Table 2. These predefined role definitions are
guided by perceived common operational situations and the operations and effects a role is
permitted to have on a fabric and individual fabric elements.
TABLE 2 Role definitions
Role name Definition
User Non-administrative use, such as monitoring system activity. In Fabric
OS v6.2.0 and later, the user account gains access to Fabric ID 128.
This is the default logical fabric after a firmware upgrade.
Operator A subset of administrative tasks typically required for routine
maintenance operations.
SwitchAdmin Administrative use excluding security, user management, and zoning.
2Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
Understanding Role-Based Access Control

In addition to these predefined roles, Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later provides support for creating
user-defined roles. Refer to the roleConfig command for more information.
Additional command restrictions apply depending on whether Virtual Fabrics or Admin Domains are
enabled in a fabric. Refer to Appendix A, “Command Availability”.
NOTE
Virtual Fabrics and Admin Domains are mutually exclusive and are not supported at the same time
on a switch. To use Admin Domains, you must first disable Virtual Fabrics; to use Virtual Fabrics, you
must first delete all Admin Domains. Use ad --clear -f to remove all Admin Domains. Refer to the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for more information.
Encryption commands and permissions
There are two system RBAC roles that are permitted to perform encryption operations.
•Admin and SecurityAdmin
Users authenticated with the Admin and SecurityAdmin RBAC roles may perform cryptographic
functions assigned to the FIPS Crypto Officer, including the following:
•Perform encryption node initialization.
•Enable cryptographic operations.
•Manage critical security parameters (CSPs) input and output functions.
•Zeroize encryption CSPs.
•Register and configure a key vault.
•Configure a recovery share policy.
•Create and register recovery share.
•Encryption group and clustering-related operations.
•Manage keys, including creation, recovery, and archiving functions.
•Admin and FabricAdmin
Users authenticated with the Admin and FabricAdmin RBAC roles may perform routine
encryption switch management functions including the following:
•Configure virtual devices and crypto LUN.
•Configure LUN/tape associations.
•Perform re-keying operations.
ZoneAdmin Zone management only.
FabricAdmin Administrative use excluding user management and Admin Domain
management.
BasicSwitchAdmin A subset of administrative tasks, typically of a more limited scope and
effect.
Admin All administrative tasks, including encryption and chassis commands.
SecurityAdmin Administrative use including admin, encryption, security, user
management, and zoning.

•Perform regular Fabric OS management functions.
For a listing of RBAC permissions for cryptoCfg subcommands, refer to the Fabric OS Encryption
Adminsitrator’s Guide.
Understanding Virtual Fabric restrictions
All Fabric OS commands are subject to additional RBAC enforcement with regard to Virtual Fabric
contexts and switch types. Commands can be executed in one or more of the contexts described in
Table 3. Execution of chassis commands requires chassis permissions.
Switch commands are further defined by the switch type restrictions as described in Table 4.
Switch type restrictions are not applicable to commands that require chassis permissions.
In a Virtual Fabric environment where contexts are enforced, the following Virtual Fabric restrictions
apply to the RBAC permissions specified in Table 2. Refer to the userConfig command for more
information on configuring user account access permissions in a Virtual Fabric environment.
•Any given role is allowed to execute all switch commands to which the role is authorized in the
account’s home context. The default home context is the default logical fabric FID 128.
•You can change an account’s home context to a specified FID and configure the account
permissions to access additional logical switches specified in the user’s Fabric ID list.
•Accounts with user or admin permissions can be granted chassis permissions. A user account
with the chassis role can execute chassis-level commands at the user RBAC access level. An
admin account with the chassis role can execute chassis-level commands at the admin RBAC
access level.
Use the classConfig --showcli command to look up the Virtual Fabrics context for a specified
command. Refer to Appendix A, “Command Availability,” for a complete listing of Virtual Fabric
restrictions that apply to the commands included in this manual.
TABLE 3 Virtual Fabric contexts
Context type Definition
Switch context Command applies to the current logical switch only, or to a specified
logical switch.
Chassis context Command applies to the chassis on which it is executed.
Switch and chassis
context
Command can be executed in a logical switch context or in a chassis
context.
Disallowed Command is not supported in Virtual Fabric mode.
TABLE 4 Switch types
Switch type Definition
All Switches Command can be executed in any switch context.
Base Switch Only Command can be executed only on the base switch.
Default Switch Only Command can be executed only on the default switch.
N/A Command is a chassis command or not supported in Virtual Fabric
mode.

Understanding Admin Domain restrictions
1
Understanding Admin Domain restrictions
A subset of Fabric OS commands is subject to Admin Domain (AD) restrictions that may be in place.
In order to execute an AD-restricted command on a switch or device, the switch or device must be
part of a given Admin Domain, and the user must be logged in to that Admin Domain.
Six Admin Domain types are supported, as defined in Table 5.
Refer to Appendix A, “Command Availability,” for a listing of Admin Domain restrictions that apply to
the commands included in this manual.
Determining RBAC permissions for a specific command
To determine RBAC permission for a specific command, use the classconfig --showcli command.
1. Enter the classconfig --showcli command for a specified command.
The command displays the RBAC class and access permissions for each of the command
options. Note that options for a single command option can belong to different classes.
2. Enter the classconfig --showroles command and specify the RBAC class of the command
option you want to look up.
The command displays the default roles and the permissions they have to access commands
in the specified RBAC class.
The following example shows how you can obtain permission information for the zone command.
Suppose you want to know if a user with the SwitchAdmin role can create a zone. You issue the
classconfig --showcli command for the zone command, which shows that the zone --add command
belongs to the RBAC class “zoning”. You then issue the classconfig --showroles command for the
zoning RBAC class. The output shows that the SwitchAdmin role has ‘Observe” (O) permissions only
for any command in the zoning class. This means that the user with the SwitchAdmin role is not
allowed to create zones. To allow this user to create a zone, you must change the user’s access to
any of the roles that have “observe and modify” (OM) access. Use the userConfig command to
change the user’s role or use the roleConfig command to create a custom role.
TABLE 5 AD types
AD Type Definition
Allowed Allowed to execute in all ADs.
PhysFabricOnly Allowed to execute only in AD255 context (and the user should own
access to AD0-AD255 and have admin RBAC privilege).
Disallowed Allowed to execute only in AD0 or AD255 context; not allowed in
AD1-AD254 context.
PortMember All control operations allowed only if the port or the local switch is part
of the current AD. View access allowed if the device attached to the
port is part of current AD.
AD0Disallowed Allowed to execute only in AD255 and AD0 (if no ADs are configured).

Manages RADIUS, LDAP, and TACACS+ configuration information.
SYNOPSIS aaaconfig

aaaconfig --add | --change server -conf radius | ldap | tacacs+
[-p port] [-d domain] [-t timeout] [-s secret]
[-a chap | pap | peap-mschapv2]

aaaconfig --authspec aaa1[;aaa2 [-backup] [-nologout]
aaaconfig --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage the RADIUS, LDAP, and TACACS+ server configuration for the
authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) services. Use this command to display, add, remove,
change, enable or disable the RADIUS, LDAP, or TACACS+ configuration.
Brocade switches use a local as well as a remote authentication mechanism for validating a login.
Supported authentication protocols include Password Authentication Protocol (PAP),
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) and Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol
(PEAP). In addition, Fabric OS v6.0.0 and later provides support for Light-weight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) authentication against Active Directory for user authentication and authorization.
RADIUS, LDAP or TACACS+ servers are contacted in the order they appear in the configuration list. The
first server returning authentication success or failure causes the authentication request to succeed or
fail. If no response is received within the specified timeout, the next RADIUS, LDAP, or TACACS+ server
in the list is contacted. An event entry logs if all RADIUS, LDAP, or TACACS+ servers fail to respond.
When the command succeeds, it triggers an event log (the Fabric OS error log) to indicate a server is
added, removed, or modified. Refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference manual for specific details.
There are two modes of operation in LDAP authentication, FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode. However,
there is no option to configure LDAP while the switch is in FIPS mode. The LDAP client checks if FIPS
mode is set on the switch and uses FIPS-compliant TLS ciphers for LDAP. If FIPS mode is not set and
the ADir server is configured for FIPS ciphers, it uses FIPS-compliant ciphers.
Configuration changes are persistently saved and take effect with the next AAA request. The
configuration applies to all switch instances in a platform supporting multiple switch domains.
NOTES Customers can use centralized RADIUS servers to manage AAA services for a switch, as defined in the
RFC 2865 RADIUS specification.
This command can be executed when logged in through the console, Telnet or SSH connection.

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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
server Specifies an IP address or a server name in dot-decimal notation. IPv6 addresses
are supported. If a name is used, a DNS entry must be correctly configured for the
server. If the specified server IP address or name already exists in the current
configuration, the command fails and generates an error. However, the command
does not validate the server name against the IP address in the configuration.
Make sure to avoid duplicate configuration of the same server, one specified by
the name, the other specified by the IP address.
--show Displays the current AAA service configuration.
--add | --change server [options]
Adds or modifies a RADIUS, LDAP, or TACACS+ server. The --add option
appends the specified server to the end of the current configuration list. A
maximum of 5 servers are supported for each authentication type. The --change
option modifies the specified server configuration to use the new arguments. The
server must be one of the IP addresses or names shown in the current
configuration.
The following options are supported:
-conf radius | ldap | tacacs+
Specifies the server configuration as either RADIUS, LDAP, or TACACS+. This
operand is required.
The following operands are optional:
-p port Specifies the RADIUS, LDAP, or TACACS+ server port number. Supported
range is 1 to 65535. The default port is 1812 for RADIUS authentication. The
default port is 1813 for RADIUS accounting. The default port is 389 for LDAP
authentication. The default port is 49 for TACACS+ authentication. This
operand is optional. If no port is specified, the default is used.
-t timeout Specifies the response timeout for the RADIUS, the LDAP or the TACACS+
server. The supported range is 1 to 30 seconds. The default is 3 seconds.
This operand is optional. If no timeout is specified, the default is used.
-d domain Specifies the Windows domain name for the LDAP server, for example,
brocade.com. This option is valid only with the -conf ldap option. This
operand is required.
-s secret Specifies a common secret between the switch and the RADIUS or
TACACS+ server. The secret must be 8 to 40 characters for RADIUS server,
and 1 to 40 characters for TACACS+ server. This option is valid only with
-conf radius or -conf tacacs+options, and it is optional. The default value is
sharedsecret.
-a Specifies the remote authentication protocol for the RADIUS or TACACS+
server. This operand is valid with -conf radius or -conf tacacs+ options,
and it is optional. The default value for this operand is CHAP.
Fabric OS Command Reference 9
53-1003108-01
aaaConfig 2
Note that the distinction between protocols is only applicable to the packets
between a system and the RADIUS or TACACS+ server. To authenticate a
user to the system, a password is always used.
Valid protocols are one of the following:
pap Password Authentication Protocol
chap Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol
peap-mschapv2
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (requires Fabric OS v5.3.0 or
later). This is applicable only to RADIUS configuration.
--remove server Removes the specified server from the configuration. The server must match one
of the IP addresses or the names shown in the current configuration. The
following operand is required:
-conf radius | ldap | tacacs+
Specifies the server configuration as either RADIUS, LDAP, or TACACS+. If the
server is enabled, the command does not allow the last server to be removed from
the configuration list. RADIUS, LDAP, or TACACS+ must first be disabled before
the last server of the specified type may be removed.
--move server option Moves the specified server from the current position in a RADIUS, LDAP, or
TACACS+ configuration list to the specified position. If the specified position is the
same as the current position, no change takes place. Valid options include the
following:
-conf radius | ldap | tacacs+
Specifies the server configuration as RADIUS, LDAP, or TACACS+. This operand
is required.
to_position Specifies the new position for the server. The value for to_position is an integer,
and must be within the range of server positions in the current configuration. Use
the --show option to determine current server positions. This operand is required.
--authspec "aaa1[;aaa2" [-backup] [-nologout]
Replaces the configuration with the specified AAA service. Each service can be
specified only once in the list, for example, "radius; local; radius" is invalid. No edit
option is provided. The --authspec option takes as an argument a
semicolon-separated list of AAA services. Services must be enclosed in double
quotation marks.
The following AAA services and service pairs are valid:
"local" Default setting. Authenticates the user against the local database only. If the
password does not match or the user is not defined, the login fails.
"radius" When "radius" is specified, the first RADIUS server is contacted. If the RADIUS
server is not reachable, the next RADIUS server is contacted. If the authentication
fails, the authentication process does not check for the next server in the
sequence.
10 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
aaaConfig

"ldap" When "ldap" is specified, the first Active directory (AD) server is contacted. If the
AD server is not reachable, the next AD server is contacted. If the authentication
fails, the authentication process does not check for the next server in the
sequence.
"tacacs+" When "tacacs+" is specified, the first Active directory (AD) server is contacted. If
the AD server is not reachable, the next AD server is contacted. If the
authentication fails, the authentication process does not check for the next server
in the sequence.
"radius;local" Enables the current RADIUS configuration as the primary AAA service and the
switch-local database as the secondary AAA service. If "radius" and "local" are
specified, and if the RADIUS servers are reachable and the user credentials are
correct, the user authentication succeeds. If the user provides credentials from the
switch database, the RADIUS authentication fails but login succeeds through the
switch database.
"ldap;local" Enables the current LDAP configuration as the primary AAA service and the
switch-local database as the secondary AAA service. If "ldap" and "local" are
specified, and if the AD servers are reachable and the user credentials are
correct, the user authentication succeeds. If the user provides credentials from the
switch database, AD authentication fails but login would still succeed through the
switch database.
"tacacs+;local" Enables the current TACACS+ configuration as the primary AAA service and the
switch-local database as the secondary AAA service. If "tacacs+" and "local" are
specified, and if the AD servers are reachable and the user credentials are
correct, the user authentication succeeds. If the user provides credentials from the
switch database, AD authentication fails but login would still succeed through the
switch database.
-backup For use with the "radius;local", "ldap;local", and "tacacs+;local" options only. The
backup option states to try the secondary AAA service only if none of the primary
AAA services are available.
-nologout If -nologout is not specified, a change in the authentication mechanism may
result in the termination of existing sessions. All existing sessions are terminated if
the new authentication mechanism is one of the following: RADIUS only, LDAP
only, TACACS+ only, or Local. If -nologout is specified, there will be no effect on
the existing sessions regardless of the chosen authentication mechanism.
--help Displays the command usage.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage Admin Domain operations.
This command follows a batched-transaction model. When executed with the --activate, --add, --clear,
--create, --deactivate, --delete, --remove, --rename options, this command changes only the Defined
Configuration in the transaction buffer. The --save option sends the changes made in the transaction
buffer to all other switches and permanently saves the changes to the Defined configuration in persistent
storage. The --apply option performs a save operation, sends a request to apply the Admin Domain
configuration (as defined in the persistent storage), and then enforces the configuration locally.
The Admin Domain transaction buffer is linked to the current login shell and is lost on logout. Use the
--transshow option to display the current Admin Domain transaction information.

ad
2
Before creating Admin Domains, the default zone mode should be set to "No Access". To set the default
zone mode to "No Access" execute the following command sequence:
switch:admin> ad --select AD0
switch:admin> defzone --noaccess
switch:admin> cfgsave
Refer to defZone help for more information.
All switches, switch ports and devices in the fabric that are not specified in any other Admin Domain are
treated as implicit members of AD0. Members added to AD0 are called explicit members.
When a new Admin Domain is created, the members included in the new Admin Domain are
automatically removed from the implicit member list of AD0. If the devices included in the new Admin
Domain are already zoned in AD0, and if you want to move these devices from AD0 without any traffic
disruption, do the following:
1. Add the devices to AD0's explicit member list using ad --add and ad --apply.
2. Create new ADs with the devices and execute ad --apply.
3. Select (or login to) the new Admin Domain and create a relevant zone configuration and zones
(Refer to zone --copy help for details). Enable the new zone configuration under the Admin Domain.
4. (Optionally) remove explicit members from AD0 (using ad --remove and ad --apply). Remove the
member references from the AD0 zone database.
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.
OPERANDS The generalized syntax for this command is "ad action arguments". Command actions are described
first. Argument details follow the description of actions.
The following actions are supported:
--activate arg Activates an Admin Domain. An Admin Domain is enforced only if it is in an
activated state. AD0 is always in an activated state. By default, after the Admin
Domain is enabled, the devices specified in the Admin Domain are not able to see
each other until they are zoned together. The command prompts for confirmation.
The activate operation remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply
or ad --save.
--add arguments Adds new members to an existing Admin Domain. The add operation remains in
the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
--apply Saves the current transaction buffer contents to the defined configuration and
enforces the defined configuration on all switches in the fabric. ad --apply
prompts for confirmation.
--clear [-f]Deletes all ADs and clears AD0's explicit members. This command fails if AD1
through AD254's zone databases are not empty. The command prompts for
confirmation before deleting all Admin Domains. The clear operation remains in
the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
When used with the -f option, this command deletes all ADs and clears all explicit
members from AD0, even if the zone databases or AD1 through AD254 are not
empty. Use the force option to remove Admin Domains before enabling Virtual
Fabrics.
Fabric OS Command Reference 15
53-1003108-01
ad 2
--create arguments Creates a new Admin Domain with optionally specified device or switch members.
A newly created Admin Domain is in an activated state. It initially contains no zone
database. The newly created Admin Domain remains in the transaction buffer until
you issue ad --apply or ad --save. AD0 always exists. Use ad --add to add
explicit members to AD0.
--deactivate arg Deactivates an Admin Domain. This operation fails if an effective zone
configuration exists under the Admin Domain. This operation is not allowed on
AD0. ad --deactivate does not disable any ports. Existing logins to a deactivated
Admin Domain are not terminated; however, subsequent CLI execution is
disallowed. A message is displayed to indicate that the current Admin Domain is
not active. The command prompts for confirmation. The deactivate operation
remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
--delete arg Deletes an Admin Domain. This command succeeds regardless of whether the
Admin Domain is in a deactivated or an activated state. AD0 always exists; using
this operation on AD0 does not delete AD0, it only removes all explicit members
from AD0. The AD0 zone database does not need to be empty for the delete
operation to succeed. Not all existing user sessions to a deleted Admin Domain
are terminated; however, subsequent CLI execution is disallowed. A message
displays indicating that the current Admin Domain is not active. The command
prompts for confirmation before executing the delete action. The delete operation
remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
--exec arguments This command performs the following tasks:
•Creates a new shell.
•Executes ad --select to the specified Admin Domain.
•Executes the specified commands.
•Exits the shell.
--remove arguments Removes one or more members from an Admin Domain. Removing the last
member from an Admin Domain deletes the Admin Domain. The remove
operation remains in the transaction buffer until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
--rename arguments Renames the specified Admin Domain. If a reserved name is used for new_ad_id
(AD number format), the operation fails if the reserved name does not correspond
to the ad_id AD number. The rename operation remains in the transaction buffer
until you issue ad --apply or ad --save.
--save Saves the outstanding Admin Domain transaction to the defined configuration on
all switches in the fabric. The saved Admin Domain definition is enforced only
when ad --apply is issued. Attempts to modify and save an Admin Domain that is
currently enforced will fail. The command prompts for confirmation.
--select arg Selects an Admin Domain context. This command fails if the corresponding Admin
Domain is not activated. This operation succeeds only if you have the specified
Admin Domain. This command internally spawns off a new shell within the
requested Admin Domain context. Type logout or exit to exit from the selected
Admin Domain. The zone transaction is linked to the current shell; therefore, the
zone transaction buffer is lost on logout. Use cfgTransShow to display the
current zoning transaction information.

--show arguments Displays the membership information of the specified Admin Domain or all Admin
Domains.
When executed in an AD255 context and an Admin Domain name is not specified,
all information about all existing Admin Domains is displayed. When executed in
an AD0-AD254 context, the command, by default, displays the members of the
current Admin Domain's effective configuration, and therefore you cannot specify
an ad_id or mode.
When executed in an AD255 context, all Admin Domain information from the
transaction buffer, defined configuration and effective configuration is displayed.
--validate arguments Checks whether Admin Domain members are from a non-Admin Domain aware
switch or the members do not exist in the fabric. The output is similar to ad
--show; however, all members that are from non-Admin Domain aware switches
are marked with a plus sign (+). Members that are not online are marked with an
asterisk (*).
FC Router Front Phantom Domain and FC Router Translate Phantom Domain are
virtual entities without any exposed management interfaces; therefore, any FC
Router phantom switch WWN specified in an AD switch member list is marked as
a non-Admin Domain aware member. All D,PI members in the device list
corresponding to an FC Router Phantom Domain are marked as non-Admin
Domain aware members. All FC Router imported devices in the AD device list are
marked as AD-aware members.
--transabort Aborts the transaction buffer. The command prompts for confirmation before
aborting the transaction.
--transshow Displays the ID of the current Admin Domain transaction and indicates whether or
not the transaction can be aborted. The transaction cannot be aborted if it is an
internal Admin Domain transaction.
The following arguments are supported with selected AD actions:
ad_id Uniquely identifies an Admin Domain. An ad_id can be a name or a number:
name An Admin Domain name can be up to 63 bytes, must begin with a letter, and can
consist of letters, numbers, and underscore characters. The Admin Domain
names with the format AD[0-255] are reserved for autoassigning Admin Domain
names to Admin Domains created with an Admin Domain number. and can be
assigned only to the corresponding Admin Domain. Using ad --rename, for
example, in an attempt to assign a name of AD5 to an Admin Domain with ID not
equal to 5 fails. Admin Domain names are case-sensitive.
number An Admin Domain can be specified by a number. Valid values include 0 through
255. AD0 and AD255 are always active. AD0 cannot be specified with --activate,
--deactivate or --delete actions. AD255 can be specified only with --exec, --show
and --validate actions.
For all command iterations, with the exception of ad --create, the Admin Domain
is specified either by a name or a number. For ad --create, both name and
number can be specified: for example, ad --create test_ad/10 -d "100,5; 100,1".

-d "dev_list"Specifies the list of devices in an Admin Domain, in quotation marks. Separate
each entry in the device list with a semicolon (;). Valid formats include the
following:
D,PI Uses existing zone D,PI member types. Benefits include the following:
•Grants port control and zoning on the switch port and the devices attached to
that port.
•PI can be specified as a range; for example, D,[0 to 34]. The port index range
is expanded and stored internally.
•The same D,PI members can be specified in more than one Admin Domain.
Device WWN Uses traditional zone WWN member types. Benefits include the following:
•Supports node or port WWNs.
•End-device members, whose WWNs are used in an Admin Domain definition,
need not be online when the Admin Domain is created (similar to a
zoneCreate operation).
•Provides rights to zone the devices.
•Provides administrative view rights to the switch port the device is connected
to.
-s "switch_list"Specifies the list of switches in an Admin Domain. The list must be enclosed in
quotation marks. Separate each entry in the switch list with a semicolon (;).
Specify the switch in one of the following formats:
Switch WWN World wide name of the switch.
Domain ID Any switch member specified in Domain ID format is converted into a switch
WWN-based on the current fabric information. Operations with switch list fail
if the domain ID to switch WWN lookup fails.
Membership in an AD switch_list grants switch administrative operations
such as switchDisable, switchEnable, reboot, ad, etc. on the switch.
Ownership of a switch implicitly provides port control capability on all its ports,
but no zoning control.
"command_list"Specifies one or more commands to execute in an Admin Domain context. This
operand is valid only with the --exec option.
new_ad_id Specifies a new Admin Domain name or number. This operand is valid only with
the --rename option. Format is the same as ad_id.
-i Displays the implicit members of AD0. This operand is valid only with the --show
option.
-m mode Specifies the mode in which Admin Domain configuration information is displayed.
This operand is valid only with --show and --validate. Valid values for mode
include the following:
0Displays the Admin Domain configuration in the current transaction buffer.

•Configure and display F_Port to N_Port mapping.
•Configure and display N_Port failover and failback policies.
•Configure and display Port Group policy.
•Create or remove a Port group.
•Enable or disable auto port configuration (APC) modes for a Port group.
•Get or set timeout value for fabric name monitoring.
•Display Port Groups and member N_Ports.
•Add or delete N_Ports in a Port group.
•Display all policies and their status.
•Enable or disable auto port configuration (APC) policy.
•Enable or disable preferred secondary N_Port policy.

•Manage device WWN to N_Port mappings.
Fabric OS Command Reference 25
53-1003108-01
ag 2
•Manage device WWN to N_Port group mappings.
•Manage device WWN failover to N_Ports configured as preferred failover ports.
•Enable or disable device WWN mappings.
•Configure the reliability limit for the preferred N_Port.
•Save the configured F_Ports, static F_Ports for the given N_Port, and F_Ports for which the given
N_Port is a preferred one.
•Delete the backup mappings for the given N_Port, if any.
•Display the saved mappings for the given N_Port, if any.
AG configuration changes are saved persistently as configuration keys. Use the portCfgNPort
command to set a port as N_Port.
This command supports multiple configurations for mapping device logins to N_Ports for the purposes of
load balancing and redistribution in the event of a fabric change. If multiple mappings are configured, the
system considers the available mappings in a fixed order of priority to determine which of the available
N_Ports should be assigned to the login request. The first eligible mapping is chosen in the order
specified below.
1. Device WWN to N_Port
2. Device WWN to N_Port Group
3. Automatic device WWN load balancing.
4. F_Port to N_Port
5. F_Port to N_Port Group
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.
AG is supported only on selected Brocade hardware platforms. Refer to the Access Gateway
Administrator's Guide for hardware support and AG configuration procedures.
In non-AG mode, only two actions are available: --modeenable and --modeshow.
The --backupmappingsave, --backupmappingdel and --backupmappingshow commands can be
executed if the auto policy is disabled.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--help Displays the command usage.
--show Displays the current configuration of the Access Gateway. This includes all
N_Ports and F_Ports that are currently online, failover and failback settings as
well as any online F_Ports that are currently mapped to N_Ports. Failover and
failback policies are displayed as enabled (1) or disabled (0).
--modeshow Displays the current Access Gateway operating mode of the switch as either
enabled or disabled.
--modeenable Enables Access Gateway mode on a switch. Long distance mode settings should
be cleared for all ports on the NPIV edge switch to which the AG is connected.
Otherwise, the NPIV switch port displays the long distance port type along with
the F_Port.

--modedisable Disables Access Gateway mode on a switch. After AG mode is disabled, the
switch reboots automatically and comes online with default zone access set to
"No Access". In order to merge the switch to a fabric, set the default zone to "All
Access" and disable/enable the E_Port.
--policyshow Displays the supported AG port policies and their status as either enabled or
disabled. AG supports four types of policies:
•Port Grouping (pg) policy: This policy manages failover of an F_Port to a set
of related N_Ports in a port group.
•Auto Port Configuration (auto): When this policy is enabled, the AG enabled
switch automatically detects available ports and maps F_Ports to N_Ports.
Auto port configuration is disabled by default.
•Advanced Device Security (ADS) policy. This policy restricts access to the
fabric at the AG level to a set of authorized devices. Unauthorized access is
rejected and the system logs a RASLOG message. You can configure the list
of allowed devices for each F_Port by specifying their Port WWN. Refer to the
ag --ads* commands for information on managing advanced device security.
ADS policy is disabled by default, which means that all devices can connect
to the switch.
•WWN Based Load Balancing policy: This policy routes device logins to the
least loaded port in the port group to which they are mapped.
--policyenable policy Enables the specified port policy for the Access Gateway. When a new policy is
enabled, all port related configuration settings are lost. Use the configUpload
command to save the current port configuration. Valid policies include the
following:
pg Enables the port grouping policy. A default port group "pg0" is created, which
includes all configured N_Ports assigned to the policy. Enabling port grouping
policy disables the Get Fabric Name policy.
auto Enables the automatic port configuration policy. When enabled, this policy applies
to all ports on the switch. All F_Port to N_Port mapping and port group
configurations are ignored.
ads Enables the advanced device security (ADS) policy. When enabled, this policy
applies to all the ports on the switch. By default all devices have access to the
fabric on all ports.
wwnloadbalanceEnables the device WWN load balancing policy. When this policy is enabled,
device logins are sent to the least loaded port in the port group to which they are
mapped. These devices are displayed with ag --wwnmapshow as dynamic
device mappings. Port Group policy must be enabled before you can enable the
WWN load balancing policy.
--policydisable policy Disables the specified policy for the Access Gateway. When a policy is disabled,
all port-related configuration settings are lost. Use the configUpload command to
save the current port configuration. Valid policies include the following:
pg Disables the port grouping policy. All port group configurations are deleted.
Disabling port grouping policy enables the Get Fabric Name policy.

ag 2
auto Disables the automatic port configuration policy and deletes all associated
configuration settings.
ads Disables the advanced device security (ADS) policy and deletes all lists of allowed
device WWNs.
wwnloadbalanceDisables the device WWN load balancing policy.
--mapshow [N_Port | device_WWN]
Displays the F_Ports that are configured and currently mapped to a given
"primary" N_Port. Optionally specify an N_Port to display the F_Ports that are
mapped to the specified N_Port only, or specify a device WWN to display the
N_Port to which the device WWN is mapped. Failover and failback policies are
displayed as enabled (1) or disabled (0).
--mapset N_Port [F_Port1;F_Port2;...]
Maps a set of F_Ports to a specified "primary" N_Port forcing all traffic from the
F_Ports to be routed through this N_Port to the attached fabric. An F_Port cannot
be mapped to more than one primary N_Port at any given time. F_Ports are
enabled only if the N_Port is online. This command overwrites existing port
mappings. Use a blank list ("") to clear current mappings.
--mapadd N_Port F_Port1 [; F_Port2;...]
Adds one or more specified F_Ports to the mapping of an existing "primary"
N_Port. The traffic for the configured F_Ports is routed to the fabric through the
specified N_Port when the F_Ports come online. An F_Port cannot be mapped to
more than one primary N_Port at the same time.
--mapdel N_Port F_Port1 [; F_Port2;...]
Deletes one or more specified F_Ports from the "primary" N_Port mapping.
--staticadd N_Port F_Port1 [; F_Port2;...]
Creates a static mapping between an existing "primary" N_Port and one or more
specified F_Ports. This command removes exiting mappings. Once the static
mapping is enabled, the F_Ports and all logged-in devices will logout of the
previous N_Port and login using the new N_Port.
--staticdel N_Port F_Port1 [; F_Port2;...]
Deletes a static mapping between an existing "primary" N_Port and one or more
specified F_Ports. This command removes exiting mappings. Alternately, you can
remove an existing mapping by mapping the F_Port to another N_Port.
--pgshow [pgid]Displays the Port Group configuration. The port grouping feature supports
specifying a set of N_Ports to be included in the Port Group (PG) Policy. The
factory default PG is "pg0", which includes all N_Ports. The default PG cannot be
removed or renamed.
--pgcreate pgid "N_Port1 [;N_Port2;...]" [-n pgname][-m "lb; mfnm"]
Creates a port group with the ID pgid and a specified list of N_Ports to be included
in the policy. The list must be enclosed in quotation marks. Ports must be
separated by semicolons. The Port Group ID must not exceed 64 characters.
Optionally specify a name for the port group and a mode. Modes are by default
disabled. For an explanation of mode values, refer to --pgsetmodes.
--pgadd pgid "N_Port1 [; N_Port2;...]"
Adds one or more N_Ports to the specified port group. The port list must be
enclosed in quotation marks. Ports must be separated by semicolons.

--pgdel pgid "N_Port1 [; N_Port2;...]"
Deletes one or more N_Ports from the specified port group. Deleted ports are
added to the default port group "pg0". The port list must be enclosed in quotation
marks. Ports must be separated by semicolons.
--pgrename pgid newname
Replaces the name of an existing port group with the specified new name. The
port group ID must not exceed 64 characters.
--pgremove pgid Deletes the specified port group. The N_Ports in the port group that was deleted
are moved to the default port group, which is pgid 0.
--pgmapadd pgid "F_Port1[;F_Port2;...]"
Maps the specified F_Ports to the PG identified by the pgid. Upon execution, the
system identifies the least loaded N_Port in the port group and maps the F_Ports
to that N_Port. The port list must be enclosed in double quotation marks. Ports
must be separated by semicolons. Login balancing (LB) mode must be enabled
on the port group for this command to succeed. Use ag --pgsetmodes to enable
LB mode.
--pgmapdel pgid "F_Port1[;F_Port2;...]"
Removes one or more F_Ports that are part of the port group identified by the pgid
from their mapping to a corresponding N_Port. The port list must be enclosed in
double quotation marks. Ports must be separated by semicolons. Login balancing
(LB) mode must be enabled on the port group for this command to succeed. Use
ag --pgsetmodes to enable LB mode.
--pgsetmodes pgid "lb;mfnm"
Sets the APC modes for the specified port group. The mode list must be enclosed
in double quotation marks and the modes must be separated by a semicolon.
Alternately you can set the modes at the time when you create the port group with
the pgcreate command. The following modes are supported:
lb Specifies the login balancing mode for the specified port group. If login balancing
mode is enabled and an F_Port goes offline, logins in the port group are
redistributed among the remaining F_Ports. Similarly, if an N_Port comes online,
port logins in the PG are redistributed to maintain a balanced N_Port to F_Port
ratio. This operation is disruptive. Login balancing mode is disabled by default in
all port groups.
mfnm Enables the managed fabric name monitoring mode (MFNM) in the specified port
group. This command changes the fabric name monitoring mode from "default" to
"managed". In both default and managed mode, the system queries the fabric
name once every 120 seconds, and if it detects an inconsistency, for example, if
the port group is connected to multiple fabrics, it triggers a RASLOG message.
The difference between default and managed fabric name monitoring is that in
managed mode, failover is disabled for all ports in the port group if the system
detects an inconsistency in fabric names.
You can add or remove MFNM from a port group, however, doing so will enable or
disable MFNM on the entire switch. RASLOG messages are generated only if
MFNM is enabled on the entire switch and multiple fabrics are connected to the
switch.
--pgdelmodes pgid "lb;mfnm"
Disables the specified modes on a given port group. The mode list must be
enclosed in double quotation marks and the modes must be separated by a
semicolon. For a description of supported modes, refer to --pgsetmodes.

--pgfnmtov new_tov Displays the fabric name monitoring timeout value in seconds when used without
specifying a new value. To change the current value, specify a new timeout value
in seconds. The valid range is 30 to 120 seconds. The default value is 120
seconds.
--failoverenable [N_Port] | -pg pgid
Enables the failover policy for a given N_Port or for all N_Ports in the given port
group. When failover policy is enabled for a given N_Port, F_Ports behave as
follows:
•If only primary F_Port to N_Port mapping is in place, all currently mapped
F_Ports fail over to another available N_Port in the event the original N_Port
becomes disabled. If multiple N_Ports are available for failover, F_Ports are
evenly balanced across all available N_Ports. If no other N_Port is available,
failover does not occur.
•If preferred secondary F_Port to N_Port Mapping is in place, the F_Ports are
routed through the preferred Secondary N_Port. If the preferred secondary
N_Port is offline, the F_Ports are disabled.
--failoverdisable [N_Port] -pg pgid
Disables the failover policy for a given N_Port or for all N_Ports in the given port
group.
--failovershow [N_Port]
If an N_Port is specified (optional), the command displays the failover policy for
this N_Port. Otherwise, the failover policy for all N_Ports is displayed. Failover is
displayed as enabled (1) or disabled (0).
--failbackenable [N_Port] | -pg pgid
Enables the failback policy for a specified N_Port or for all N_Ports in the given
port group. When failback policy is enabled, ports behave as follows:
•If only primary F_Port to N_Port mapping is in place, all F_Ports are
automatically rerouted back to the N_Ports to which they were originally
mapped as those N_Ports come back online. Only the originally mapped
F_Ports fail back. In the case of multiple N_Port failures, only F_Ports that
were mapped to the recovered N_Port experience failback. The remaining
F_Ports are not redistributed among the online N_Ports during the failback.
•If preferred secondary F_Port to N_Port mapping is in place, and the primary
N_Port comes back online, then the F_Ports are rerouted through the primary
N_Port. If the secondary N_Port comes online, while the primary N_Port is
still offline, F_Ports are rerouted through the secondary N_Port.
--failbackdisable [N_Port] | -pg pgid
Disables the failback policy for the specified N_Port or for all N_Ports in the given
port group.
--failbackshow [N_Port]
If an N_Port is specified (optional), the command displays the failback policy for
this N_Port. Otherwise, the failover policy for all the N_Ports is displayed. The
failback policy is displayed as disabled (0) or enabled (1).
--prefset "F_Port [;F_Port2;...]" N_Port
Sets the preferred secondary N_Port for one or more F_Ports. Preferred mapping
is optional. Preferred F_Port to N_Port Mapping provides an alternate N_Port for
F_Ports to come online for predictable failover and failback. An F_Port must have
primary N_Port mapping before a secondary N_Port can be configured. The list of
F_Ports to be mapped must be enclosed in double quotation marks. Port numbers
must be separated by semicolons.

--prefdel "F_Port [;F_Port2;...]" N_Port
Deletes the preferred Secondary N_Port for the specified F_Ports. The list of
F_Ports to be deleted from the secondary mapping must be enclosed in double
quotation marks. Port numbers must be separated by semicolons.
--prefshow Displays the preferred Secondary N_Port for all F_Ports.
--adsset "F_Port [;F_Port2;...]" "WWN [;WWN2;...]"
Sets the list of devices that are allowed to login to a specified set of F_Ports.
Devices are specified by their world wide names. Lists must be enclosed in double
quotation marks. List members must be separated by semicolons. The maximum
number of entries in the allowed device list is twice the per port maximum login
count. Replace the WWN list with an asterisk (*) to indicate all access on the
specified F_Port list. Replace the F_Port list with an asterisk (*) to add the
specified WWNs to all the F_Ports' allow lists. A blank WWN list ("") indicates no
access. ADS policy must be enabled for this command to succeed.
--adsadd "F_Port [;F_Port2;...]" "WWN [;WWN2;...]"
Adds the specified WWNs to the list of devices allowed to login to the specified
F_Ports. Lists must be enclosed in double quotation marks. List members must be
separated by semicolons. Replace the F_Port list with an asterisk (*) to add the
specified WWNs to all the F_Ports' allow lists. ADS policy must be enabled for this
command to succeed.
--adsdel "F_Port [;F_Port2;...]" "WWN [;WWN2;...]
Deletes the specified WWNs from the list of devices allowed to login to the
specified F_Ports. Lists must be enclosed in double quotation marks. List
members must be separated by semicolons. Replace the F_Port list with an
asterisk (*) to remove the specified WWNs from all the F_Ports' allow lists. ADS
policy must be enabled for this command to succeed.
--adsshow Displays the list of allowed device WWNs for all F_Ports.
--persistentalpaenable 1 | 0 mode
Configures the persistent ALPA feature. Once enabled, the ALPA parts of all
device PIDs become persistent regardless of whether they were logged in before
or after the persistent ALPA feature was enabled. ALPA persistence ensures that
there is no inconsistency between logged in devices. The persistent ALPA feature
is disabled by default.
1 | 0 Specify 1 to enable persistent ALPA. Specify 0 to disable the feature.
mode Specifies the manner in which the ALPA is obtained in the event that the ALPA
value is already taken by another host. Valid modes include the following:
-s Specifies a stringent ALPA request mode. In stringent mode, the login is
rejected if the ALPA is not available.
-f Specifies a flexible ALPA request mode. In flexible mode, the host login is
accepted either with the requested ALPA value or with a different ALPA value
if the requested ALPA is not available.
--printalpamap F_PortDisplays the database entry for the specified port. An F_Port must be specified.
The output displays the PWWN-to-host-ALPA mapping.

--deletepwwnfromdb PWWN
Removes the specified port WWN entry from the database after the host has
logged out.
--clearalpamap F_Port
Clears the ALPA values for the specific F_Port. This command removes the
PWWN-to-ALPA-value mapping from the database.
--addwwnmapping N_Port "WWN [;WWN2;...]" | --all
Maps one or more device WWNs to a preferred N_Port. All traffic form the
specified devices is forced through the specified N_Port, regardless of which
F_Port the device logs into. In the event the designated N_Port should become
unavailable, an alternate port can serve as a preferred failover port. This
command only affects devices that are connecting to the fabric after successful
execution of this command; it will not affect devices already logged in. If a device
is already connected to the switch when its mapping is created, that mapping
goes into effect the next time the device connects. The WWN list must be
enclosed in double quotation marks. WWNs must be separated by semicolons.
The --all option indicates all device WWNs already mapped, for example, if you
wish to change an existing WWN mapping. It does not affect device WWNs that
are not part of an existing mapping.
--delwwnmapping N_Port "WWN [;WWN2;...]" | --all
Removes the mapping of one or more device WWNs to a preferred N_Port. The
--all option removes the mapping for all device WWNs currently mapped to the
specified N_Port. The WWN list must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
WWNs must be separated by semicolons. The mappings are removed upon
execution of this command.
--addwwnpgmapping PG "WWN [;WWN2;...]" | --all
Maps one or more device WWNs to any of the N_Ports included in the specified
port group . The port group is identified by its port group ID. The --all option maps
all currently mapped device WWNs to the specified port group. The WWN list
must be enclosed in double quotation marks. WWNs must be separated by
semicolons. The device WWN to port group mapping takes effect the next time
the device logs in.
--delwwnpgmapping PG "WWN [;WWN2;...]" | --all
Removes the mapping between the specified device WWNs and the specified port
group. The port group is identified by its port group ID. The --all option removes
the mapping of all device WWNs currently mapped to the specified port group.
The WWN list must be enclosed in double quotation marks. WWNs must be
separated by semicolons. The mappings are removed upon execution of this
command.
--addwwnfailovermapping N_Port "WWN [;WWN2;...]"| --all
Maps one or more device WWNs to a preferred failover N_Port. If the N_Port to
which the WWNS are mapped is not available or goes down, the device logins fail
over to the preferred failover N_Port. The --all option maps all currently mapped
device WWNs to the specified failover N_Port. The WWN list must be enclosed in
double quotation marks. WWNs must be separated by semicolons.
--delwwnfailovermapping N_Port "WWN [;WWN2;...]" | --all
Deletes the mapping of one or more device WWNs to a preferred failover N_Port.
The --all option deletes the failover mappings of all device WWNs currently
mapped to the specified N_Port. The WWN list must be enclosed in double
quotation marks. WWNs must be separated by semicolons.

--wwnmappingdisable "WWN [;WWN2;...]" | --all
Disables one or more device WWN mappings. Use this command if you want to
disable the mapping action temporarily without making permanent changes to the
mappings. The mappings remain disabled until they are re-enabled or deleted.
The --all option disables all currently existing device WWN mappings.
--wwnmappingenable "WWN [;WWN2;...]" | --all
e-enables one or more previously disabled device WWN mappings. The --all
option re-enables all previously disabled device WWN mappings.
--wwnmapshow Displays all device WWN mappings. For each device WWN, the command
displays the N_Port number to which it is mapped, the secondary (failover)
N_Port, and the port group if applicable. The "Current" field shows the port the
device is currently using. If the device is not logged in, the field displays "none." If
the device is logged in to a port other than the one it is mapped to, the field
displays that port. If the device is mapped to a port group, the field displays the
number of the port within that port group that the device is currently using. If the
device is using a trunk, the field displays which port in that trunk the device is
logged in. The "Enabled" field indicates, whether a mapping has been temporarily
disabled ("no"), or whether it is in enabled state ("yes").
--reliabilitycounterset count
Sets the reliability limit for the preferred N_Port. This parameter controls the
number of ONLINE or OFFLINE State Change Notification (SCN) messages a
port can receive before becoming unreliable. The range is 10 through 100. The
default value is 25.
The port becomes reliable again if it does not receive any SCN messages for a
period of five minutes. Preferred N_Port settings are not enforced on unreliable
N_Ports. When the port becomes reliable again, the behavior is as follows:
•If a FAILBACK flag is set, the port will fail back the configured F_Ports.
•Configured F_Ports that are offline will come back online.
•If LB mode or auto policy is configured, load rebalancing resumes.
--reliabilitycountershow
Displays the configured reliability limit for N_Ports.
--backupmappingsave N_Port
Saves the configured F_Ports, static F_Ports for the given N_Port, and F_Ports
for which the given N_Port is a preferred one.
--backupmappingdel N_Port
Deletes the backup mappings for the given N_Port, if any.
--backupmappingshow N_Port
Displays the saved mappings for the given N_Port, if any.

agAutoMapBalance

agAutoMapBalance
Controls automatic remapping of F_Ports in AG mode.
SYNOPSIS agautomapbalance --enable [-fport | -nport]
[-pg Port_Group_Number | -all]
agautomapbalance --disable [-fport | -nport]
[-pg Port_Group_Number | -all]
agautomapbalance --force
agautomapbalance --show
agautomapbalance --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to control the automatic rebalancing of F_Ports for login distribution in the event that
an F_Port goes offline or an N_Port comes online.
If automatic rebalancing is enabled, and an F_Port goes offline, the remaining F_Port logins are
redistributed across the existing N_Ports. Similarly if a new N_Port comes online, some of the F_Port
logins being routed through existing N_Ports would be failed over to the new N_Ports. Both operations
are potentially disruptive. Disabling automatic rebalancing of login distribution provides a way of avoiding
disruptions associated with routine F_Port/N_Port offline/online events.
The default values for agautomapbalance are as follows:
•Disable automatic login redistribution when F_Ports go offline.
•Enable automatic login redistribution when N_Ports come online.
Use the --show option to display the current configuration of the automatic rebalancing feature. The
command output varies depending on current AG policy settings:
•If Port Group Policy is enabled on the switch, the command displays the following information for
each configured port group:
-PG_ID - Port Group number
-LB mode - Login Balancing mode: enabled or disabled
-nport - Enabled or disabled
-fport- Enabled or disabled
•If Auto Policy is enabled on the switch, the command displays the status of the automatic
rebalancing feature per port type as either disabled or enabled.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--enable Enables automatic login redistribution upon removal or addition of a specified port
type.
-fport Enables automatic login redistribution in the event that one or more F_Ports go
offline. When automatic login redistribution is enabled, the remaining F_Ports are
remapped such that logins are balanced among the existing Imports.
Fabric OS Command Reference 45
53-1003108-01
agAutoMapBalance 2
-nport Enables automatic login redistribution in the event that one or more N_Ports come
online. When automatic login redistribution is enabled, the F_Ports mapped to the
current N_Ports are rebalanced among the N_Ports.
--disable Disables automatic login redistribution upon removal or addition of a specified port
type.
-fport Disables automatic login redistribution in the event that one or more F_Ports go
offline. When automatic login redistribution is disabled, the remaining F_Ports
maintain their existing N_Port mappings.
-nport Disables automatic login redistribution in the event that one or more N_Ports
come online. When auto map balancing is enabled, the F_Ports mapped to the
current N_Ports are rebalanced among the N_Ports.
-pg Port_Group_Number | -all
Specifies the port group number or all port groups. These operands are
mutually exclusive and optional with the --enable and --disable options.
When a port group is specified, command execution is targeted to the
members of that specific port group. When all port groups are specified,
command execution is targeted to all port groups defined in the Access
Gateway. The port group options are allowed only when login balancing is
enabled on the specified port groups.
--force Enforces automatic login redistribution on a one-time basis in the event that
automatic login redistribution is disabled for N_Port addition, F_Port removal or
both. This command forces rebalancing of the F_Port to N_Port mapping once. It
does not affect the configuration settings.
--show Displays the auto login distribution configuration.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To display the automatic login redistribution settings for port groups 0 and 1:

aptPolicy
Changes or displays the Advanced Performance Tuning (APT) policy.
SYNOPSIS aptpolicy [policy]
aptpolicy -ap [ap_policy]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display and change the advanced performance tuning (APT) policies on a switch.
Several internal performance tuning parameters can be modified with this command. The default
parameters (AP shared Link Policy) are optimized for most SAN applications; in most environments,
there is no need to modify the default policy.
Distributed path selection (DPS) is supported in logical fabrics. APT policy settings affecting the DPS
behavior can be configured per logical switch, and settings apply to the partition for which they are set.
Note that policy settings for the base switch or any switch in the base fabric affect all traffic going through
the base fabric including any logical fabric traffic that uses the base fabric.
In a logical fabric environment, Link Policy settings (aptpolicy -ap) apply only to the base switch and can
be executed only on the base switch.
When invoked without arguments, this command displays the APT policies supported on this switch, as
well as the current policy.
NOTES You must disable the switch before using this command to change the current policy. Changes take effect
immediately for all EX/VEX_Ports after the switch is re-enabled.
For details on performance tuning, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
policy Specifies the APT policy. The following polices are supported:
1Port-based routing policy. With this policy, the path chosen for an ingress frame is
based on both of the following items:
•The ingress port on which the frame was received.
•The destination domain for the frame.
The chosen path remains the same if Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS) is not
enabled. If DLS is enabled, a different path may be chosen for a fabric event.
Refer to dlsSet for a definition of a fabric event.
This policy may provide better ISL utilization when there is little or no
oversubscription of the ISLs.
Note that static routes are supported only with this policy.
2Device Based Routing Policy (FICON support only). Device-based routing is
supported in FICON environments only. With this policy, the path chosen for an
ingress frame is based on the following items:
•The ingress port on which the frame was received.
•The FC address of the source fabric device (SID) for this frame.
•The FC address of the destination fabric device (DID) for this frame.
Fabric OS Command Reference 57
53-1003108-01
aptPolicy 2
This policy optimizes the utilization of the available paths by allowing I/O traffic
between different source fabric device (SID) or destination fabric device (DID)
pairs to use different paths. As a result, every distinct flow in the fabric can take a
different path through the fabric. Effectively, device based routing works the same
as exchange-based routing but does not use the Originator Exchange ID (OXID)
field. This helps to ensure that the exchanges between a pair of devices stay in
order.
Device-based routing is also a form of Dynamic Path Selection (DPS). DPS
assigns communication paths between end devices in a fabric to egress ports in
ratios proportional to the potential bandwidth of the ISL, ICL, or trunk group. When
there are multiple paths to a destination, the input traffic is distributed across the
different paths in proportion to the bandwidth available on each of the paths. This
improves utilization of the available paths and reduces possible path congestion.
3Exchange-based routing policy (default). With this policy, the path chosen for an
ingress frame is based on all of the following items:
•The ingress port on which the frame was received.
•The FC address of the SID for this frame.
•The FC address of the DID for this frame.
•The FC OXID for this frame.
This policy optimizes the utilization of the available paths by allowing I/O traffic
between different SID, DID, or OXID pairs to use different paths. All frames
received on an ingress port with the same SID, DID, or OXID parameters take the
same path unless there is a fabric event. Refer to dlsSet for the definition of a
fabric event.
This policy does not support static routes. DLS is always enabled and the DLS
setting cannot change with this policy.
-ap ap_policy Specifies an additional AP policy option supported under both port-based and
exchange-based policies. If logical fabrics are enabled, this command is valid only
on the base switch. The following policies are supported:
0AP Shared Link Policy (default).
1AP Dedicated Link Policy. This policy dedicates some links to the ingress traffic
and some links to the egress traffic. This policy relieves internal congestion in an
environment where there is a large amount of traffic going through both directions
at the same time. In addition, it can reduce the impact of slow devices on the
overall switch performance.

authUtil
Displays and sets the authentication configuration.
SYNOPSIS authutil
authutil --show
authutil --set option value
authutil --policy -sw option | -dev option
authutil --authinit [slot/]port[, [slot/]port...] | allE
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display and set local switch authentication parameters.
Use --set to change authentication parameters such as protocol, Diffie-Hellman group (DH group), or
hash type. When no protocol is set, the default setting of "FCAP, DH- CHAP" is used. When no group is
set, the default setting of "*" (meaning "0,1,2,3,4") is used. Configuration settings are saved persistently
across reboots. Configuration changes take effect during the next authentication request.
Use the --show command to display the current authentication configuration.
Authentication parameters are set on a per-switch basis. If Virtual Fabrics are enabled, all authentication
parameters apply to the current logical switch context only, and must be configured separately for each
logical switch. Use setContext to change the current logical switch context.
In a VF environment, authentication is performed only on physical E_Ports, not on logical interswitch
links (LISLs).
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--show Displays the local authentication configuration.This option is supported in the
Access Gateway (AG) mode.
--set option value Modifies the authentication configuration. Valid options and their values include
the following:
-a fcap | dhchap | all
Sets the authentication protocol. Specify "fcap" to set only FCAP authentication.
Specify "dhchap" to set only DH-CHAP authentication. Specify "all" to set both
FCAP and DH-CHAP, which is the default setting. When authentication is set to
"all", the implicit order is FCAP followed by DH-CHAP. This means that in
authentication negotiation, FCAP is given priority over DH-CHAP on the local
switch. If the negotiation is done for an encrypted port, DHCHAP takes
precedence over FCAP. The --set dhchap and --set all options are supported in
the AG mode.
-g 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |4 | *
Sets the Diffie-Hellman (DH) group. Valid values are 0 to 4 and "*". The DH group
0 is called NULL DH. Each DH group implicitly specifies a key size and associated
parameters. A higher group value provides stronger cryptography and a higher
level of security. When DH group is set to a specified value, only that DH group is
Fabric OS Command Reference 63
53-1003108-01
authUtil 2
enabled. Specifying "*" enables all DH groups 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, in that order. This
means that in authentication negotiation, the NULL DH group is given priority over
all other groups. In the case of a port that is enabled for encryption and you
specify "*", the DH group 4 is selected.This option is supported in AG mode.
-h sha1 | sha256 | md5 | all
Sets the hash type. Valid values are "sha1", "sha256", "md5", or "all". When set to
"all", md5 and sha1 hash types are set. Use this option to disable md5
authentication access by setting the hash type to sha1. Enabling sha256 access
is required when configuring the system for FIPS. Refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide for details on FIPS configuration. This option is supported in
AG mode.
--policy Sets the switch authentication policy or device authentication policy. The following
options are supported:
-sw on |off | active | passive
Sets the switch authentication policy. Specify one of the following modes.
Operands are exclusive. If the switch has ports enabled for encryption, only the
ON and ACTIVE options are supported. Only on and off options are supported in
AG mode.
on Sets the switch authentication policy to ON mode. Strict authentication is
enforced on all E_Ports. The interswitch link (ISL) goes down (port disable), if
the connecting switch does not support the authentication or the
authentication policy is switched off.
off Turns the authentication policy off, and the switch rejects any authentication
requests.
active Sets the authentication policy to active mode. During switch initialization,
authentication is initiated on all E_Ports, but the port is not disabled if the
connecting switch does not support authentication or the authentication policy
is turned off.
passive Sets the authentication policy to passive mode (default) . The switch does not
initiate authentication but participates in authentication if the connecting
switch initiates authentication.
-dev off | passive | on
Sets the device authentication policy. Three modes are supported. Device
authentication policy is off by default. This option and suboptions are supported in
AG mode.
off Turns off the device authentication policy. Authentication is not required. The
switch ignores any authentication requests and continues with the FC probing
without authentication.
passive Sets the authentication policy to passive mode. Authentication is optional. If
the attached device is capable of doing the authentication then the switch
participates in authentication; otherwise it forms an F_Port without
authentication. In this mode the device accepts authentication on all F_Ports.

53-1003108-01
authUtil

on Sets the authentication policy to "on" mode. Authentication is mandatory. If
the attached device is not capable of doing authentication, the corresponding
port is disabled.
--authinit [slot/]port [, [slot/]port...| allE
Reinitiates authentication on selected ports after changing the DH-CHAP group,
hash type, and shared secret between a pair of switches. This command does not
work on Private, Loop, NPIV and FICON devices. This command may bring down
the E_Ports if the DH-CHAP shared secrets are not installed correctly. This
command is not supported on encrypted ports. This option is not supported in AG
mode. Valid options include the following:
slot Specify the slot number, if applicable, followed by a slash (/).
port Specify the port number. On enterprise-class platforms, use the slot/port format for
specifying the port number.
allE Specify all E_Ports in the switch.
EXAMPLES To set DH-CHAP as the authentication protocol:
switch:admin> authutil --set -a dhchap
Authentication is set to dhchap.
To set both protocols in order of FCAP and then DH-CHAP:
switch:admin> authutil --set -a all
Authentication is set to fcap,dhchap.
To enable sha1 hash type:
switch:admin> authutil --set -h sha1
Hash is set to sha1.
To enable all hash types:

bcastShow 2
bcastShow
Displays broadcast routing information.
SYNOPSIS bcastshow
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the broadcast routing information for all ports in the switch. The broadcast
routing information indicates all ports that are members of the broadcast distribution tree: ports that are
able to send and receive broadcast frames.
Normally, all F_Ports and FL_Ports are members of the broadcast distribution tree. The broadcast path
selection protocol selects the E_Port members of this tree in a manner designed to prevent broadcast
routing loops.
The following fields are displayed:
Group The multicast group ID of the broadcast group (always 256).
Member Fx_Ports A map of all F_Ports and FL_Ports ports in the broadcast tree.
Member E_Ports A map of all E_Ports in the broadcast tree.
The broadcast routing information for the ports is displayed as a set of hexadecimal bit maps. Each bit in
a bit map represents a port, with the least significant bit in each row representing port 0, 32, 64, and so
on.
NOTES The output from this command may vary depending on the hardware platform.
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

bladeDisable
Disables all user ports on a blade.
SYNOPSIS bladedisable slot
DESCRIPTION Use this command to disable all user ports on a blade. All Fibre Channel ports on the blade are taken
offline. If the switch was connected to a fabric through this blade, the remaining switches reconfigure,
and the switch reconfigures based on the other blade ports. As each port is disabled, the front panel LED
changes to a slow-flashing amber.
After issuing bladeDisable on a slot in a chassis, switchShow displays the user ports in the disabled
state. The blade is still shown as enabled in both switchShow and slotShow output.
The blade must be disabled before making configuration changes or before running many of the
diagnostic tests. The blade does not need to be disabled before rebooting or powering off.
You cannot disable a blade when the blade is faulted, powered off, or running diagnostics.
This command disables the ports on a single blade. To disable the ports in an entire chassis, use the
chassisDisable command.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operand:
slot Specifies the slot number for the ports to be disabled.

bladeEnable
2
bladeEnable
Enables all user ports on a blade.
SYNOPSIS bladeenable slot
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable all user ports on a blade. All ports within the blade that did not fail the
power-on self-test (POST) are enabled (except for persistently disabled ports). They may come online if
connected to a device, or remain offline if disconnected. Use the bladeEnable command to re-enable
the blade after making configuration changes or running offline diagnostics.
If the switch is connected to a fabric through previously disabled ports, it rejoins the fabric. If this switch
remains the principal switch at the end of the fabric countdown, it assigns itself a domain ID. If another
switch assumes the principal role, the re-enabled switch becomes a subordinate switch and accepts a
domain ID from the principal.
As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes from a slow-flashing amber to nonflashing green
for online ports or to nonflashing amber for ports that do not initialize. Disconnected ports remain unlit.
NOTES You cannot disable a single blade when the entire chassis is disabled, or when the blade itself is faulted,
powered off, or running diagnostics. Use chassisEnable to enable the ports on an entire chassis.
Persistently disabled ports are not enabled by this command.
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.

bladeSwap
Swaps the area numbers for matching port pairs of two blades.
SYNOPSIS bladeSwap -src source_slot -dest destination_slot
DESCRIPTION Use this command to swap the area numbers for matching port pairs of two blades. All ports must qualify
for swapping for this command to succeed. It validates that the blades in the indicated slots are of the
same type, have the same number of ports, and that the port pairs are in the same partition.
If all the ports qualify for swapping, this command automatically performs the following operations:
1. It enables the port swapping feature by executing the portSwapEnable command.
2. It takes all ports on both the source and destination blades offline by executing the bladeDisable
command.
3. It swaps the matching port pairs on each of the specified blades.
4. It re-enables the blade by executing the bladeEnable command.
The result of this operation is persistent across reboots and power cycles.
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.
This command leaves both the source and destination blades in a disabled state. To enable all ports on a
blade, issue the bladeEnable command. To enable individual ports, issue the portEnable command.
This command affects port swap information that is kept in its own database. It cannot be manipulated by
editing the configuration database reported by configShow.
This command is not allowed if one or both the blades are faulty.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-src source_slot Specifies the slot number for the source blade.
-dest destination_slot Specifies the slot number for the destination blade. Use slotShow for a listing of
valid slots.
EXAMPLES To swap area numbers between matching port pairs of two slots:

bootLunCfg 2
bootLunCfg
Transparently configures the boot LUN for an HBA.
SYNOPSIS bootluncfg --add HBA_WWN PWWN LUN_ID
bootluncfg --delete HBA_WWN [PWWN LUN_ID]
bootluncfg --show
bootluncfg --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the boot LUN for an HBA.
Existing fabric-based boot LUN discovery allows the host's boot LUN information to be stored in the
fabric zone database by using a zone name that contains the PWWN of an HBA port. The zone members
consist of storage target PWWN and LUN ID.
This command provides a simplified and transparent procedure for configuring the boot LUN. Once
configured, the HBA boot code queries the zone member list for the zone name matching the HBA
PWWN to determine the boot target and LUN.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
HBA_WWN Specifies the WWN of the HBA port connecting to the boot LUN. This is a
hexadecimal number, for example, 10:00:00:000:05:1e:41:9a:cb.
PWWN Specifies the WWN of the remote storage target's port. For example,
50:00:00:05:1e:41:9a:ca. This operand is required with the --add option and
optional with the --delete option.
LUN_ID Specifies the hexadecimal LUN identification. The LUN ID is represented as an
eight-byte value (four-level LUN addressing), for example,
09AABBCCDDEEFF00. This operand is required with the --add option and
optional with the --delete option.
--add Configures the specified HBA (HBA_WWN) to boot from the specified LUN
(LUN_WWN) accessible through the Target PWWN (PWWN).
--delete Removes the mapping for the HBA (HBA_PWWN) to boot from the LUN (LUN_ID)
accessible through the Target Port (PWWN).
--show Displays all configured HBA to Port/LUN Mappings.
--help Displays the command usage.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to (1) detect latency and congestion bottlenecks on F[L]_Ports and E_Ports and (2) to
manage credit recovery on backend ports. Bottleneck detection and credit recovery are two independent
functions; enabling credit recovery has no impact on bottleneck detection and vice versa.
Bottleneck Detection
For bottleneck detection, this command provides the following management functions:
•Enabling or disabling bottleneck detection on a switch and optionally configuring thresholds and alert
parameters.
•Changing alert parameters on specified ports after you have enabled the feature on the switch.
80 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
bottleneckMon
2
•Configuring severity thresholds for congestion and latency bottlenecks for a switch or for a specified
port list.
•Configuring for congestion and/or latency bottlenecks for a switch or for a specified port list.
•Refining the criterion for defining latency bottleneck conditions to allow for more (or less) sensitive
monitoring at the sub-second level.
•Clearing the configuration on specified ports only (this option cannot be performed switch-wide).
•Excluding specified ports from being monitored or including previously excluded ports.
•Generating history or status reports that show congestion bottlenecks and latency bottlenecks.
Enabling or disabling bottleneck detection is a switch-wide operation. If Virtual Fabrics are enabled, the
configuration is applied per logical switch and affects all ports on the current logical switch. After the
(logical) switch-wide bottleneck detection parameters have been set, you can you can fine-tune the
configuration for specific ports.
A bottleneck is defined as a condition where the offered load at a given port exceeds the throughput at
the port. This command supports detection of two types of bottleneck conditions: congestion and latency.
•A congestion bottleneck arises from link over-utilization. This happens when the offered load
exceeds throughput and throughput is at 100%. Frames attempt to egress at a faster rate than the
line rate allows. Link utilization is measured once every second at the port. When trunked ports are
monitored, link utilization is measured for the entire trunk. A congestion bottleneck is assumed if the
utilization during the measured second is 95% or more.
•A latency bottleneck occurs when egress throughput at a port is lower than the offered load because
of latency in the return of credits from the other end of the link. This is not a permanent condition.
The offered load exceeds throughput and throughput is less than 100%. In this case, the load does
not exceed the physical capacity of the channel as such, but can occur because of an
underperforming device connected to the F_Port, or because of back pressure from other
congestion or latency bottlenecks on the E_Ports. Bottleneck detection can help identify these
devices and pinpoint the upstream bottlenecks caused by these devices inside the fabric.
When bottleneck detection is enabled on a switch and you specify an alert, the command triggers an
SNMP and a RASlog alert when the ports on the configured switch experience latency or congestion.
Another alert is sent after the condition resolves. For a given averaging time, each second is marked as
affected by latency and/or congestion or not. If the number of affected seconds crosses the configured
threshold, an alert is triggered for the port. You can configure alerts for latency, for congestion, or both.
You can also configure a severity threshold for each type of bottleneck and the time interval over which
the bottlenecks are measured.
For example, setting a latency threshold of 0.8 and a time window of 30 seconds specifies that an alert
should be sent when 80% of the one-second samples over any period of 30 seconds were affected by
latency bottleneck conditions. The -qtime option can be used to throttle alerts by specifying the minimum
number of seconds between consecutive alerts. Thresholds are configured separately for each type of
bottleneck and statistical data are collected independently for each condition. The -qtime parameter
applies to both types of bottleneck detection; there can be one latency alert and one congestion alert in a
configured quiet time.
Bottleneck detection works both in non-Virtual Fabric mode and in Virtual Fabric Mode. If Virtual Fabrics
are enabled, bottleneck detection is configured per logical switch. If a port is removed from a logical
switch after bottleneck detection is enabled on the logical switch, the configuration is retained in that
logical switch. If the port is added again to the same logical switch, bottleneck detection is automatically
re-enabled for this port using the retained configuration. This feature allows you to configure more than
one logical switch to perform bottleneck detection on the same port, although only one logical switch
performs the operation on the port at any given time.
The --show option displays a history of the bottleneck severity for a specified port or for all ports. Each
line of output shows the percentage of one-second intervals affected by bottleneck conditions during the
time window shown on that line. When issued for all ports, the union of all port statistics is displayed in
addition to individual port statistics. The union value provides a good indicator for the overall bottleneck
Fabric OS Command Reference 81
53-1003108-01
bottleneckMon 2
severity on the switch. You can filter the output to display only latency or congestion bottleneck statistics.
When used without port operand the command displays the number of ports affected by bottleneck
conditions. A "bottlenecked" port in this output is defined as any port that was affected by a bottleneck for
one second or more in the corresponding interval.
When using the --show command, you may see a "no data for x seconds" or "no data" message
displayed at the end of a line of output. The "no data..." message in any interval means that there was no
data to analyze for the stated number of seconds or for the entire interval if the remark is simply "no
data." This typically means that there was no traffic on the link for the stated number of seconds. The
percentage of affected seconds displayed takes this into account. For example, if there was no traffic for
6 seconds in an interval of 10 seconds, and 1 second out of the other 4 seconds was affected by a
bottleneck, the display for that interval would show 25% as the percentage of affected seconds (1 out of
4), and state "no data for 6 seconds." However, if there is no traffic because the port is offline, the "no
data..." message is displayed.
The --status option displays bottleneck configuration details for the current (logical) switch. If virtual
fabrics are enabled, ports not belonging to the current logical switch are not displayed. The command
output includes the following information:
Bottleneck detectionEnabled or disabled
Switch-wide sub-second latency bottleneck criterion
Displays the following parameters:
Time threshold The value set with the -lsubsectimethresh operand.
Severity threshold
The value set with the -lsubsecsevthresh operand.
Switch-wide alerting parameters
Displays the following parameters:
Alerts? Yes (enabled), No (disabled), Congestion only, or Latency only.
Congestion threshold for alert
The severity threshold for triggering a congestion alert. This threshold indicates
the percentage of one-second intervals affected by congestion conditions within a
specified time window. The congestion threshold is expressed as a fraction
between 0 and 1.
Latency threshold for alert
The severity threshold for triggering a latency alert. This threshold indicates the
percentage of one-second intervals affected by latency conditions within a
specified time window. The latency threshold is expressed as a fraction between 0
and 1.
Averaging time for alert
The time window in seconds over which the percentage of seconds affected by
bottleneck conditions is computed and compared with the threshold.
Quiet time for alert
The minimum number of seconds between consecutive alerts. The value
assigned to this parameter applies to both latency and congestion detection.
Per-port overrides for sub-second latency bottleneck criterion
Custom configuration for the above mentioned sub-second latency bottleneck
parameters. Note that everything above this line applies to all ports in the switch
that don't have any custom configuration or exclusions.

Per-port overrides for alert parameters
Custom configuration for the above mentioned alert parameters. The
abbreviations "C" and "L" indicate "congestion" and "latency" alerts. "Y" means
alerts are enabled for both types, and "N" means alerts are disabled.
Excluded ports List of ports excluded from bottleneck detection.
Credit recovery on backend ports
Use the --cfgcredittools commands to enable or disable credit recovery of backend ports and to display
the configuration. When this feature is enabled, credit is recovered on backend ports (ports connected to
the core blade or core blade backend ports) when credit loss has been detected on these ports. If
complete loss of credit on a Condor2 backend port causes frame timeouts, a link reset will be performed
on that port regardless of the configured setting, even if that setting is -recover off. When used with the
-recover onLrOnly option, the recovery mechanism takes the following escalating actions:
•When it detects credit loss, it performs a link reset and logs a RASlog message (RAS Cx-1014).
•If the link reset fails to recover the port, the port reinitializes. A RASlog message is generated (RAS
Cx-1015). Note that the port reinitialization does not fault the blade.
•If the port fails to reinitialize, the port is faulted. A RASlog message (RAS Cx-1016) is generated.
•If a port is faulted and there are no more online backend ports in the trunk, the core blade is faulted.
(Note that the port blade will always be faulted). A RASlog message is generated (RAS Cx-1017).
When used with the -recover onLrThresh option, recovery is attempted through repeated link resets
and a count of the link resets is kept. If the threshold of more than two link resets per hour is reached, the
blade is faulted (RAS Cx-1018). Note that regardless of whether the link reset occurs on the port blade or
on the core blade, the port blade is always faulted.
If you suspect complete credit loss on a particular virtual channel (VC) on a particular backend port, use
the -check option to examine that particular backend port and VC for credit loss. If the command detects
complete credit loss, it reports the information. If, in addition, you have enabled link resets on backend
ports, this command will perform a link reset on the link in an attempt to recover from the problem. You
must explicitly initiate this check and it is a one-time operation. In other words, this command does not
continuously monitor for credit loss in the background. Detection of credit loss takes 2-7 seconds, after
which the results of the operation are displayed. A Link Reset also generates a RASlog message.
For more information on the RASlog messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference.
NOTES Command syntax predating Fabric OS v6.4.0 is no longer supported as of Fabric OS v7.0.0.
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.
The bottleneck detection commands are supported on F_Ports, FL_Ports, E_Ports, and EX_Ports.
The credit recovery commands are supported only on backend ports of Condor, Condor 2, and Condor
3-based blades in the Brocade DCX 8510-8 and DCX 8510-4 chassis.
The -check option is supported only on modular switches, and only on links between Condor 2 core
blades and Condor 2 port blades. AP blades are not supported.
All credit recovery-related options are also available with the creditRecovMode command as of Fabric
OS v7.2.0.
All credit recovery options will be deprecated from the bottleneckMon command in a future Fabric OS
release because these options are already made available in the creditRecovMode command.

OPERANDS Bottleneck detection commands
The following operands support bottleneck detection:
slot On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port_list Specifies one or more ports, relative to the slot on bladed systems. Use
switchShow for a listing of valid ports. The --show option allows only a single
port or all ports ('*') to be specified with this command, unless it is used without
port operand. A port list should be enclosed in double quotation marks and can
consist of the following:
•A single port, for example, "8" or "5/8" on blades systems.
•A port range where beginning and end port are separated by a dash, for
example, "8-13" or "5/8-13" on blades systems. A port range cannot span
multiple slots.
•A set of ports, separated by a space, for example "3 5 7 8"or 5/3 5 7 8 on
bladed systems.
•A wildcard ('*') indicates all ports. The wildcard must be enclosed in single
quotation marks and is not allowed with the --config option. To make
switch-wide changes, use --config without a port specifier.
--enable Enables bottleneck detection on the switch. This operation is switch-wide and
affects all F[L]_Ports and F_Ports. This operation enables bottleneck detection on
all eligible ports of a switch, no matter when they become eligible. If you have
Virtual Fabrics enabled and you move ports into a bottleneck enabled logical
switch from another logical switch, bottleneck detection is enabled upon
completion of the move. You can configure optional thresholds and alerts when
you enable the feature, or you can change selected parameters later with the
--config command.
--config Modifies bottleneck detection parameters on specified ports or, when a port list is
not specified, on the entire switch. Bottleneck detection must first be enabled
before you can fine-tune the configuration with the --config command. The history
of bottleneck statistics thus far will not be lost for the specified ports and can be
viewed with the --show option. However, alert calculations restart on the specified
ports when parameters change. This operation is allowed on excluded ports.
The following parameters can be optionally set with the --enable and --config
commands. Any numerical parameters not specified with the --config option will
retain the current configured values. Whereas, any parameters not specified with
the --enable option will assume their default values.
-alert Enables both congestion and latency alerts. You can optionally specify either a
congestion threshold or a latency threshold, or both. This operand is optional; if
omitted, the alerts are disabled. To retain the current alert configuration, you must
specify the -alert options for every --config operation.
-alert=congestion
Enables congestion alerts only. You can optionally specify a congestion threshold
for this type of alert. Latency thresholds are not valid.
-alert=latency Enables latency alerts only. You can optionally specify a latency threshold for this
type of alert. Congestion thresholds are not valid.

When you specify one of the three alert options, the following parameters become
available, although the threshold options are subject to the restrictions stated
above.
-cthresh congestion_threshold
Specifies the severity threshold for congestion that triggers an alert. The
threshold indicates the percentage of one-second intervals affected by the
bottleneck condition within the specified time window. The threshold is
expressed as the equivalent fraction between 0 and 1. The default value is
0.8.
-lthresh latency_threshold
Specifies the severity threshold for latency that triggers an alert. The
threshold indicates the percentage of one-second intervals affected by the
bottleneck condition within the specified time window. The threshold is
expressed as the equivalent fraction between 0 and 1. The default value is
0.1.
-time window Specifies the time window in seconds over which the percentage of seconds
affected by bottleneck conditions is computed and compared with the
threshold. The maximum window size is 10800 seconds (3 hours). The
default is 300 seconds. This parameter is valid with all three alert options.
-qtime quiet_timeSpecifies the minimum number of seconds between consecutive alerts. The
default is 300 seconds. The maximum is 31556926 seconds (approximately
one year). This parameter is valid with all three alert options.
-noalert Disables alerts. This is the default state assumed if neither -alert nor -noalert is
specified.
-lsubsectimethresh time_threshold
Sets the threshold for latency bottlenecks at the sub-second level. The
time_threshold specifies the minimum fraction of a second that must be affected
by latency in order for that second to be considered affected by a latency
bottleneck. For example, a value of 0.75 means that at least 75% of a second
must have had latency bottleneck conditions in order for that second to be
counted as an affected second. The time threshold value must be greater than 0
and no greater than 1. The default value is 0.8. Note that the application of the
sub-second numerical limits is approximate. This command erases the statistics
history and restarts alert calculations (if alerting is enabled) on the specified ports.
When used with the config option, you must specify a port.
-lsubsecsevthresh severity_threshold
Specifies the threshold on the severity of latency in terms of the throughput loss
on the port at the sub-second level. The severity threshold is a floating-point value
in the range of no less than 1 and no greater than 1000. This value specifies the
factor by which throughput must drop in a second in order for that second to be
considered affected by latency bottlenecking. For example, a value of 20 means
that the observed throughput in a second must be no more than 1/20th the
capacity of the port in order for that second to be counted as an affected second.
The default value is 50. This command erases the statistics history and restarts
alert calculations (if alerting is enabled) on the specified ports. When used with the
config option, you must specify a port.
Fabric OS Command Reference 85
53-1003108-01
bottleneckMon 2
--exclude [slot/]port_list
Excludes the specified ports from bottleneck detection. No data will be collected
from these ports, and no alerts will be triggered for these ports. All statistics
history for a port is erased when a port is excluded. Alerting parameters are
preserved. It is not recommended to exclude ports from monitoring except under
special circumstances, for example, when a long-distance port is known to be a
bottleneck because of credit insufficiency. The wildcard (*) port specifier is allowed
but not recommended. Use --disable to exclude all ports on the switch.
--include [slot/]port_list
Includes previously excluded ports for bottleneck detection. Previously configured
switch-wide alerts and threshold parameters reapply when bottleneck detection
resumes. The wildcard (*) port specifier may be used as a shorthand for removing
all exclusions.
--configclear [slot/]port_list
Removes any port-specific alert parameters from the specified ports and restores
switch-wide parameters on these ports. You can still view the history of
bottlenecks statistics on these ports. However, alert calculations restart on the
specified ports after the parameter reset. This operation is allowed on excluded
ports.
--disable Disables bottleneck detection on the entire switch. This operation erases all
configuration details, including the list of excluded ports, all custom thresholds and
alerting parameters for specific ports, and all historical data.
--show [[slot/]port |*] Displays a history of the bottleneck severity for the specified ports. The output
shows the percentage of one-second intervals affected by the bottleneck condition
within the specified time interval. When a single port is specified, the command
displays the bottleneck statistic for that port. When the wildcard (*) is specified, the
same statistic is displayed for every port on the switch. Additionally, a combined
"union" statistic for the switch as a whole is displayed. When used without a port
specifier, the command displays the number of ports affected by bottleneck
conditions. A "bottlenecked" port in this output is defined as any port that was
affected by a bottleneck for one second or more in the corresponding interval.
This command succeeds only on online ports.
The following operands are optional:
-interval secondsSpecifies the time window in seconds over which the percentage of seconds
affected by bottleneck conditions is displayed in the output. When a port is
specified with the --show command, the maximum interval is 10800 seconds (3
hours). When a wildcard (*) is specified, the maximum interval is defined such that
the value of -span divided by the value of the interval cannot exceed 30. The
interval value must be greater than 0.The default value is 10 seconds.
-span seconds Specifies the total duration in seconds covered in the output. When a port is
specified with the --show command, the maximum span is 10800 seconds (3
hours). When a wildcard (*) is specified, the maximum span is defined such that
the value of -span divided by the value of the interval cannot exceed 30. The span
value must be greater than 0. The default value is 10 seconds.
History data are maintained for a maximum of three hours per port, so the span
can be 10800 seconds at most. When the show command is issued for all ports
(*), the maximum duration is defined such that the value of -span divided by the
value of the interval cannot exceed 30.

-refresh Refreshes the display to continuously update with fresh data at a certain rate. The
refresh rate is equal to the number of seconds specified in the interval.
-congestion | -latency
Restricts the display to congestion or latency data. If neither is specified, the
command displays combined statistics for both types of bottlenecks.
--status Displays the details of the Bottleneck Detection configuration for the current
(logical) switch. Refer to the command description section for an explanation of
the displays. If virtual fabrics are enabled, ports not belonging to the current
logical switch are not displayed.
--help Displays the command usage.
Back-end port credit recovery commands
The following operands support backend port credit recovery:
--cfgcredittools -intport -recover
Configures credit recovery for backend ports. Use one of the following required
recovery options to configure credit recovery:
-recover onLrOnly
Enables the backend port recovery feature in link reset mode.
-recover onLrThresh
Enables the backend port recovery feature in link reset threshold mode.
-recover off Disables the backend port credit recovery feature.
-lrthresh threshold
Specifies the link reset threshold value. Note that the threshold value set using
this option will apply only when the recovery mode is onLrThresh.
-fault edgeblade In this mode, the edge blade alone is faulted when the link reset threshold is
reached.
-fault coreblade In this mode, the core blade alone is faulted when the link reset threshold is
reached.
-fault edgecoreblade
In this mode, the edge blade is faulted the first two times the link reset threshold
value is reached. If the threshold value is reached the third time, the core blade is
faulted.
The -fault option is supported only with the onLrThresh option.
--cfgcredittools -intport -check
Performs the on-demand detection of credit loss on a given backend port and VC.
This operand is optional and exclusive; when you specify this option you cannot
use the --cfgcredittools -intport -recover options at the same time. You must
specify a port and a VC, separated by a comma. A space before the comma is not
permitted.
slot/blade_port Specifies the backend port that is to be examined for credit loss. The port number
must be the blade port number, since this is a backend port. The blade port
number can be located in the "Bpt" column output of the bladePortMap
command. Note that the bladeportmap command requires root permissions.
Fabric OS Command Reference 87
53-1003108-01
bottleneckMon 2
VC Specifies the Virtual Channel number. The valid range is 1 trough 31. VC 0 is
invalid.
--linkreset slot/blade_port
Performs a link reset on the specified front-end or back-end blade port. The blade
port number can be located in the "Bpt" column output of the bladePortMap
command. The bladeportmap command requires root permissions.
--showcredittools Displays the backend port credit recovery configuration as enabled or disabled. In
addition, the output indicates whether link reset mode or link reset threshold mode
is configured.
--help Displays the command usage.

bpPortLoopbackTest
Sends and receives data from the same BP port to perform a functional test of the port.
SYNOPSIS bpportloopbacktest [--slot slot]
[-nframes count]
[-pklen count]
[-lb_mode mode]
[-spd_mode mode ]
[-bpports itemlist ]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to verify the functional operation of the switch. The test sends frames from a specified
blade processor (BP) port transmitter and loops the frames back into the same BP port's receiver. The
path exercised in this test includes the connections from the BP chip to the Control Processor (CP) chip.
The test can be performed on a single port or on a range of BP ports.
Before running this diagnostic, you must disable the chassis and clear all logs using the following
command sequence:
1. Execute chassisDisable
2. Execute slotStatsClear
3. Execute diagClearError -all
4. Execute cryptoCfg --disableEE (if the encryption engine is in enabled state)
By default, eight frames are transmitted and received on each port. The test method is as follows:
1. Set all ports present for the loopback mode specified.
2. Create a frame F of maximum data size (2112 bytes).
3. Transmit frame F through the specified port.
4. Pick up the frame from the same port.
5. Check if any of the following statistic error counters report nonzero values: ENC_in, CRC_err,
TruncFrm, FrmTooLong, BadEOF, Enc_out, BadOrdSet, DiscC3.
6. Check if the transmit, receive, or class 3 receiver counters are stuck at some value.
7. Check if the number of frames transmitted is not equal to the number of frames received.
8. Repeat steps two through seven for all specified ports until one of the following conditions is met:
a. The number of frames (or nframes) requested is reached.
b. All ports are marked bad.
Fabric OS Command Reference 93
53-1003108-01
bpPortLoopbackTest 2
At each pass, a different data type is used to create the frame from a palette of seven. If a pass of seven
is requested, seven different frames are used in the test. If eight passes, the first seven frames are
unique, and the eighth frame is the same as the first. The data palette of seven consists of the following
data types:
1) CSPAT: 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, ...
2) BYTE_LFSR: 0x69, 0x01, 0x02, 0x05, ...
3) CHALF_SQ: 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, ...
4) QUAD_NOT: 0x00, 0xff, 0x00, 0xff, ...
5) CQTR_SQ: 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, ...
6) CRPAT: 0xbc, 0xbc, 0x23, 0x47, ...
7) RANDOM: 0x25, 0x7f, 0x6e, 0x9a, ...
NOTES This command does not support High Availability (HA).
This command is currently supported only on the Brocade Encryption platform at a default speed of 4
Gbps and a loopback mode of 7. Use portLoopBackTest on all other platforms.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--slot slot Specifies the slot number on bladed systems.
-nframes count Specifies the number of frames to send. The test progresses until the specified
number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The default value is 8.
-pklen count Specifies the size of the packet to be sent. The default is 2112 bytes. The valid
range is 100 to 2112 bytes.
-lb_mode mode Specifies the loopback point for the test. The Brocade Encryption Platform, only
supports line loopback (lb_mode 7) and lb_mode defaults to 7 when the
parameter is not specified. Mode values are as follows:

bufOpMode 2
bufOpMode
Changes or displays the Buffer Optimized Mode.
SYNOPSIS bufopmode --set slot [-f]
bufopmode --reset slot
bufopmode --show slot
bufopmode --showall
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display or change the buffer optimized mode on a switch.
When buffer optimized mode is enabled on a slot, additional buffers are allocated on the internal ports.
Use this feature, if you have slow draining devices connected to the slot and there are no long distance
links or F_Port buffers configured on that slot.
You must power off the slot before changing the buffer optimized mode. Changes take effect immediately
after the slot is powered on
Enabling buffer optimized mode removes all long distance configurations or F_Port buffers on that slot.
You will be prompted if any F_Port buffers or long distance configurations are detected.
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.
This command is supported only on the Brocade FC8-16, FC8-32, and FC8-48 blades in a DCX or
DCX-4S chassis. An asterisk (*) next to the slot configuration status indicates an unsupported blade.
Refer to the example section for an illustration.
This command is not supported on Control Processor (CP) blades and core blades.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot Specifies the slot number.
--set Enables buffer optimized mode on the specified slot. This commands prompts for
confirmation before removing any F_Port buffers or long distance configurations

cfgClear 2
cfgClear
Clears all zone configurations.
SYNOPSIS cfgclear
DESCRIPTION Use this command to clear all zone information in the transaction buffer. All defined zone objects in the
transaction buffer are deleted. If an attempt is made to commit the empty transaction buffer while a zone
configuration is enabled, you are warned to first disable the enabled zone configuration or to provide a
valid configuration with the same name.
After clearing the transaction buffer with the cfgClear command, use the cfgDisable command to clear
the entire zoning configuration (both the transaction buffer and the active configuration). If there is no
current active zoning configuration, or you just want to clear the transaction buffer, use the cfgSave
command to commit the transaction.
If the default zone access mode is "No Access", this command recreates the default zoning objects.
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.
When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.
OPERANDS None
EXAMPLES To clear all zones and then clear nonvolatile memory:
switch:admin> cfgclear
The Clear All action will clear all Aliases, Zones, FA Zones
and configurations in the Defined configuration.
Run cfgSave to commit the transaction or cfgTransAbort to
cancel the transaction.
Do you really want to clear all configurations? \
(yes, y, no, n): [no] n
switch:admin> cfgsave
You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This
action will only save the changes on Defined configuration.
Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not
take effect until it is re-enabled. Until the Effective
configuration is re-enabled, merging new switches into the
fabric is not recommended and may cause unpredictable
results with the potential of mismatched Effective Zoning
configurations.

cfgSave
2
cfgSave
Saves the zone configuration to nonvolatile memory.
SYNOPSIS cfgsave
DESCRIPTION Use this command to save the current zone configuration. This command writes the defined
configuration and the name of the effective configuration to nonvolatile memory in all switches in the
fabric.
The saved configuration is automatically reloaded at power on, and, if a configuration was in effect at the
time it was saved, the same configuration is reinstalled with an automatic cfgEnable command.
Because the saved configuration is reloaded at power on, only valid configurations are saved. The
cfgSave command validates the effective configuration by performing the same tests as the cfgEnable
command. If the tests fail, an error message is displayed and the configuration is not saved.
This command ends and commits the current transaction. If a transaction is open on a different switch in
the fabric when this command is run, the transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A
message displays on the other switches to indicate that the transaction was aborted.
If there are open transactions in the fabric, only single transaction can be saved. Use the cfgtransshow
--opentrans command to view the list of all the domains in the fabric with open transactions.
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.
When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.
OPERANDS None
EXAMPLES To save a zone configuration:
switch:admin> cfgsave
WARNING!!!
The changes you are attempting to save will render the
Effective configuration and the Defined configuration
inconsistent. The inconsistency will result in different
Effective Zoning configurations for switches in the fabric if
a zone merge or HA failover happens. To avoid inconsistency
it is recommended to commit the configurations using the
cfgenable command.

cfgShow
Displays zone configuration information.
SYNOPSIS cfgshow [--ic] ["pattern"] [, mode]
cfgshow [--transdiffs]
cfgshow [--transdiffsonly]
cfgshow --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display zone configuration information.
If no operand is specified, all zone configuration information (both defined and effective) is displayed. If
the local switch has an outstanding transaction, this command displays the most recently edited zone
configuration that has not yet been saved. If the local switch has no outstanding transaction, this
command displays the committed zone configuration.
If a pattern is specified, only matching configurations are displayed.
•The defined configuration is the complete set of all zone objects that have been defined in the
fabric. There can be multiple zone configurations defined, but only one can be enabled at a time.
There might be inconsistencies in the definitions, zones, or aliases that are referenced but not
defined, or there might be duplicate members. The defined configuration is the current state of the
administrator input.
•The effective configuration is the single zone configuration that is currently enabled. The devices
that an initiator sees in the fabric are based on this configuration. The effective configuration is built
when a specific zone configuration is enabled and all error checking has been completed
successfully.
Use the --transdiffs and --transdiffsonly options to view changes in the current transaction.
The command output displays changes in the current transaction by the following notations:
•An asterisk(*) before any tag indicates a change in that zone, zone configuration, alias or any other
entity in the zone configuration.
•A plus(+) before any entity indicates that it is a newly added entity.
•A minus(-) before any entity indicates that it is a deleted entity.
When this command is executed after a zoning transaction was aborted on the local switch, it displays
the following warning message: "Warning: Current Zoning Transaction was aborted. Reason code =
Zone Config update received."
When default zoning is enabled with "No Access" mode, "No Effective configuration: (No Access)" is
displayed.
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.
OPERANDS The following operands are optional:
--ic Displays all zone configuration names for a given pattern without case distinction.

cfgSize 2
cfgSize
Displays zone and Admin Domain database size details.
SYNOPSIS cfgsize [integer]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the size details of the zone database and the Admin Domain database.
When executed in a non-AD255 context, the size details include maximum size, the committed size, and
the transaction size of the Zone database in bytes.
When executed in an AD255 context, this command displays the maximum size for the Admin Domain
and Zone database, the Admin Domain header size, and the zone database sizes for each Admin
Domain:
Zone DB maximum size
Defines the upper limit for both Zone and Admin Domain defined configuration,
determined by the amount of nonvolatile memory available for storing the defined
configuration. The Zone DB maximum size is further reduced due to a message
header that is propagated with the zone configuration to all switches in the fabric.
The maximum supported zone database size is 2 MB for chassis based switches
and 1 MB for other switches.
Available Zone DB size
Displays the size of the database that is actually available for storage.
Committed size Displays the size of the defined configuration currently stored in nonvolatile
memory.
Transaction size Displays the size of the uncommitted defined configuration. This value will be
nonzero if the defined configuration is being modified by Telnet, API, and so forth;
otherwise it is 0.
Refer to the cfgShow help page for a description of defined and effective zone configurations. Refer to
the ad help page for a description of the defined and the effective Admin Domain configurations.
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.
In Virtual Fabric environments, the zone database size of all partitions taken together cannot exceed 2
MB for chassis based switches and 1 MB for other switches. Exceeding the zone database size limit can
result in unexpected behavior. Note that in Virtual Fabric mode, the zone database limit is enforced per
partition, but not chassis-wide.
OPERANDS The following operand is optional:
integer If a nonzero integer is specified, the size of the nonvolatile memory allocated for
the zone database is displayed. The zone database includes both the defined and
effective configurations. The database size is displayed in bytes.

chassisBeacon
2
chassisBeacon
Sets chassis beaconing mode.
SYNOPSIS chassisbeacon [mode]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable beaconing on a chassis. Chassis beaconing can be used to
locate a failing chassis in a group of chassis. Use the portBeacon command to locate a failing port, and
use the switchBeacon command to locate a failing (logical) switch.
When beaconing mode is turned on, the port LEDs flash green at various rates across the chassis. The
beaconing continues until you turn it off.
Beaconing mode takes over the port LEDs. The normal flashing LED pattern associated with an active,
faulty, or disabled port is suppressed, and only the beaconing pattern is shown. Other commands are still
executable and functional. However, if diagnostic frame-based tests such as portLoopbackTest are
executed, the diagnostic LED pattern is interleaved with the beaconing pattern.
The chassisBeacon command is one of three commands that control beaconing. Each command has a
clearly defined scope of action:
•The portBeacon command enables or disables beaconing on a specified port.
•The switchBeacon command enables or disables beaconing on all ports in the current logical
switch.
•The chassisBeacon command to enables or disables beaconing on all ports in the chassis.
The actions of the beaconing commands are independent and mutually exclusive. For example, if you
enabled beaconing on the logical switch and you want to enable beaconing on the entire chassis, you
must first disable switch beaconing with the switchBeacon command before you can use the
chassisBeacon command to enable beaconing on the entire chassis. Likewise, existing portBeacon
settings remain unaffected if you enable or disable beaconing on the switch or on the chassis. Failure to
disable existing beaconing commands before using a different type of beaconing may cause the
commands to interfere with each other in unexpected ways.
To determine whether or not beaconing is enabled or disabled on the switch or chassis, use the
switchBeacon or chassisBeacon command without operands. A value of 0 indicates that the command
is disabled, a value of 1 indicates that the command is enabled. Issue the portBeacon --show command
to display beaconing for a specific port. The switchShow command displays the status of the
switchBeacon command only.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operand:
mode Specify 1 to enable chassis beaconing mode or 0 to disable beaconing mode.
This operand is optional. If no operand is specified, the current value is displayed.
EXAMPLES To turn chassis beaconing mode on:
switch:admin> chassisbeacon 1
Chassis beacon success 1
To turn beaconing mode off:
switch:admin> chassisbeacon 0
Chassis beacon success 0

chassisCfgPerrThreshold
2
chassisCfgPerrThreshold
Configures parity error threshold and fault capability on a blade or switch.
SYNOPSIS chassiscfgperrthreshold --enable [-threshold threshold_value]
chassiscfgperrthreshold --disable
chassiscfgperrthreshold --show
chassiscfgperrthreshold --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable the fault capability on a blade and switch based on the parity
error threshold, to set the threshold value for parity errors, or to display the configuration. If the fault
capability is enabled, the state of the blade or switch changes to Faulty when the parity errors exceed the
threshold value within a time interval of 5 minutes. The default threshold value is 2. You can modify the
threshold using the -threshold threshold_value option.
The configuration is persistent across system reboots and high availability (HA) failover.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--enable Enables the fault capability on a blade or switch. The default threshold value is 2.
The following operand is optional:
-threshold threshold_value
Specifies the threshold value for parity errors. The range is from 2 through 100.
--disable Disables the fault capability on a blade or switch.
--show Displays the configured threshold value and the current status of the fault
capability as enabled or disabled.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To enable fault capability:
switch:admin> chassiscfgperrthreshold --enable
To disable fault capability:
switch:admin> chassiscfgperrthreshold --disable
To enable fault capability and set the threshold value to 76:
switch:admin> chassiscfgperrthreshold --enable -threshold 76

chassisDisable
2
chassisDisable
Disables all user ports in a chassis.
SYNOPSIS chassisdisable [-force]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to disable a Virtual Fabric-aware chassis. All Fibre Channel ports are taken offline.
This command prompts for confirmation unless the -force option is used. If the chassis is partitioned into
logical switches that are part of logical fabrics, the remaining switches in these fabrics reconfigure. As
each port is disabled, the front panel LED changes to a slow-flashing amber.
You must disable the chassis before making configuration changes or running offline diagnostic tests.
Commands that require the chassis to be disabled generate an error message if invoked while the
chassis is enabled. It is not necessary to disable a chassis before rebooting or powering off the switch.
To disable the ports of a single logical switch, use the switchDisable command. To disable the ports of a
single blade, use the bladeDisable command.
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.
OPERANDS -force Disables the chassis without confirmation. This operand is optional.
EXAMPLES To disable a chassis:
switch:admin> chassisdisable
This command can cause disruption to\
multiple logical switches.

chassisDistribute 2
chassisDistribute
Distributes IP filter policies.
SYNOPSIS chassisdistribute -db ipfilter -fid target_FID [-force]
chassisdistribute -db ipfilter -domain target_domain_list [-force]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to manually distribute the IP Filter policy database. The behavior of this command
depends on whether Virtual Fabrics are enabled or disabled.
•If Virtual Fabrics are enabled on the originating switch, this command distributes the IP filter policy
database to all chassis that are connected through the specified logical switch (FID). If the target
chassis has Virtual Fabrics enabled, the IP filter policy database is distributed to all logical switches
configured on the target. If Virtual Fabrics are not enabled on the target, the IP filter policy database
is distributed to the default logical switch of the target.
•If Virtual fabrics are disabled on the originating switch, the IP filter policy database is distributed to a
list of target switches specified by their Domain IDs. If a target domain has Virtual Fabrics enabled,
the IP filter policy database is distributed to all logical switches on the target domain. If Virtual
Fabrics are not enabled on the target domain, the IP filter policy database is distributed to the default
logical switch of the target domain.
This command distributes the entire IP Filter database and overwrites any existing IP Filter policies on
the receiving switches. The chassisDistribute command does not enforce FCS policy.
The target chassis or switches must be capable of accepting the distribution. The distribution is aborted if
one of the connected chassis or domains is configured to reject the distribution. Use the fddCfg
command to configure the fabric-wide policies that control distribution behavior.
When upgrading from pre-7.2.0 to 7.2.0 or later versions, the RPC port rules will be removed from the IP
Filter policy database.
The command output includes the following information:
FID Indicates whether Virtual Fabrics are enabled or not on the domain that receives
the distribution. If Virtual Fabrics are enabled, the FID is displayed, and all logical
switches which are part of the chassis are targeted to receive the distribution.
DOMAIN Displays the Domain ID of the originating switch.
CHASSISWWN Displays the WWN of the originating or receiving chassis. Displays the originating
switch WWN in switches running Fabric OS versions that do not support the
chassis WWN feature.
CHASSISNAME Displays the name of the chassis.
SUPPORTED_DIST Displays yes if the distribution is supported on the receiving chassis. Displays no if
the distribution is not supported.
NOTES This command distributes the IP Filter database only. To distribute other security databases, use the
distribute command.
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.

chassisDistribute
2
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-db ipfilter Specifies the policy database to be distributed with this command. The only
accepted value for -db is ipfilter. The database name is case insensitive. The
legacy notation ("IPFILTER") still works but is not necessary. The following
operands are mutually exclusive:
-fid target_FID Specifies the target logical switch for the distribution. The logical switch is
identified by its fabric ID (FID). When a FID is specified, the database is
distributed to all chassis that are connected to the specified logical switch (FID)
and are configured to accept the distribution. This operand is required and valid
only when the originating switch is in Virtual Fabric mode.
-domain target_domain_list
Specifies a list of target switch domain IDs that should receive the database. The
list must be enclosed in double quotation marks; members must be separated by
a semicolon. A wildcard (*) may be specified to include all switches in the fabric
that support the distribute feature. This operand is required and valid only when
Virtual Fabrics are disabled.
-force Distributes the database without confirmation.
EXAMPLES To distribute the IP Filter policies to all chassis that are connected through the logical fabric 128 and

chassisEnable 2
chassisEnable
Enables all user ports in a chassis.
SYNOPSIS chassisenable
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable a Virtual Fabric-aware chassis. All Fibre Channel ports that passed the
power-on self test (POST) are enabled. They may come online if connected to a device, or remain offline
if disconnected. Use chassisEnable to re-enable the chassis after making configuration changes or
running offline diagnostics.
If the chassis is partitioned into multiple logical switches and physically connected to multiple logical
fabrics, the logical switches rejoin their fabrics.
As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes from slow-flashing amber to nonflashing green for
online ports, or to nonflashing amber for ports that do not initialize. Disconnected ports remain unlit.
Loopback ports slowly flash green when online.

classConfig 2
classConfig
Displays RBAC class permissions.
SYNOPSIS classconfig --show class_name | -all | -classlist
classconfig --showcli command
classconfig --showroles class_name
classconfig --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display information about role-based access control (RBAC) permissions for one or
all meta-object format (MOF) classes, to display permissions for a specified command, or to display the
permissions for a specified MOF class.
Fabric OS commands are grouped into feature sets called MOF classes. For example, the commands
ldapCfg, passwd, passwdCfg, and userConfig are all related to User Management and are therefore
grouped together under a MOF class called UserManagement.
The pre-defined roles Root, Factory, Admin, User, SwitchAdmin, ZoneAdmin, FabricAdmin,
BasicSwitchAdmin, SecurityAdmin and Operator provide a mechanism for further restricting access to
commands of a certain class by role-specific permissions. For example, a user with the ZoneAdmin role
will have access to the commands under the MOF class Zoning but not to those under the
UserManagement class.
The following RBAC permissions are supported in Fabric OS:
•O = observe
•OM = observe-modify
•N = no access
Note that the MOF class level permissions extend to all commands in that class, but not necessarily to
each and every command option. For example, a command may have the RBAC class permission of
"OM", but a show only option under that command may have the permission "O". At the role level, a
certain role may be excluded from viewing the command information, in which case the permission for
that role would be "N".
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following optional operand:
--show Displays RBAC permission information. One of the following operands is required:
class_name or -all
Displays permissions for a single MOF class or for all classes. The output displays
the class name, the CLIs grouped under the specified class, the command
options, and the RBAC class permissions for each command option.
-classlist Displays an alphabetical listing of all MOF classes supported in Fabric OS.

configDefault 2
configDefault
Resets the nonpersistent configuration data to factory defaults.
SYNOPSIS configdefault [-fid FID | -all | -switch]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to reset the nonpersistent configuration settings to their factory default values.
Configuration data is grouped into chassis information and switch information. Each configuration type is
managed separately. The behavior of configDefault depends on the environment in which the command
is executed:
•In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without operands, this command resets the switch
configuration to default values on the current logical switch only. An Admin with chassis permissions
can use additional parameters to reset configuration data for a specified logical switch (-fid FID) or
for all logical switches and the chassis (-all).
•In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without operands, this command resets the
switch configuration. When executed with the -all operand, configDefault resets all of the system's
configuration data, including chassis and switch configurations. The -switch option resets the switch
configuration only. The -fid option is not valid.
This command resets nonpersistent configuration parameters only. The following parameters are not
affected by this command:
•Ethernet MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and boot ROM parameters
•IP gateway address
•License keys
•OEM customization
•Product ID and Vendor ID
•SNMP configuration
•System name
•Chassis name
•World wide name
•Zoning configuration (includes aliases, zones, and configurations)
•Security parameters and policies
•User account passwords (includes all user configuration and all built-in accounts)
•Switch PID format
•Ethernet Link Mode
Refer to the help files for configure and configureChassis help for more information on default values
for configuration parameters.
NOTES This command cannot be executed on an enabled switch. You must first disable the switch using
switchDisable or chassisDisable.
Some configuration parameters are cached by the system. To avoid unexpected system behavior, reboot
the system after executing configDefault.
Note that configDefault does not completely remove all FCIP tunnels and GbE IP address information.
This may be an issue when attempting to use the same information to create new tunnels or modify the
existing ones.
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.
142 Fabric OS Command Reference

configDefault
2
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-fid FID Specifies the Fabric ID of the logical switch for which to reset the configuration.
This operand is valid only in Virtual Fabric mode, and the executing account must
have chassis permissions.
-all Restores all nonpersistent configuration parameters to factory default values
(switch and chassis parameters). This command requires chassis permissions.
-switch Resets the switch configuration only. This operand is not valid in VF mode.
EXAMPLES To restore all system configuration parameters to default values:
switch:admin> configdefault -all
Executing configdefault...Please wait
Setting the default config: FID = 128 Switch Name =stinger78
Already in Native Mode continuing with configDefault
Committing configuration ... done.
The switch has to be rebooted to allow the changes to take effect.

configdownload [ -vf] [-p scp | -scp ] ["host","user","path"]
configdownload [ -vf] [-p sftp | -sftp ] ["host","user","path"]
configdownload [-vf] [-local | -USB | -U ["file"]]
DESCRIPTION This command downloads configuration parameters to the local system. Two types of configuration files
can be downloaded with this command: Virtual Fabric configuration parameters and system configuration
parameters. You must download both types of configuration data for the system to behave as expected.
You can use FTP or SCP to download configuration files from a remote host, or you can retrieve the
configuration files from a predetermined directory on the local system, or from an attached USB device.
Use the -vf option to download the Virtual Fabric configuration parameters. The Virtual Fabric
configuration file includes logical switch definitions and Virtual Fabric status (enabled or disabled). The
file should be named switch-conf_xx.txt to distinguish it from the regular system configuration (config.txt).
The xx indicates the platform ID. Virtual Fabric configuration data can only be shared between switches
that belong to the same platform type and share the same platform ID. If the platform ID contained in the
header of the configuration file does not match the platform ID of the system to which it is downloaded,
configDownload fails. When you download a switch-conf_xx.txt file, all attributes defined in this file are
downloaded to the system and take effect with the exception of LISL ports. The LISL ports on the system
are not affected by this download.

configDownload

The system configuration data is downloaded separately. It is grouped into chassis information and
switch information. Each configuration type is managed separately and the behavior of configDownload
depends on the environment in which the command is executed and which part of the system
configuration you wish to download.
•In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without chassis permissions, this command
downloads the switch configuration to the current logical switch only. An Admin user with chassis
permissions can use additional parameters to perform the following selective configuration
downloads:
-Download the switch configuration to a specified logical switch (-fid FID).
-Download the chassis configuration only (-chassis).
-Download the entire configuration including the data for all logical switches and for the chassis
(-all).
The interactive version of the command (no operands) prompts for input on only the parameters the
user is allowed to execute.
•In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, this command by default downloads the configuration for the
default logical switch only. To download the chassis-level configuration only, use the -chassis
option. To download both the chassis and switch configuration, use the -all option. Chassis
permissions are required. The -fid option is not valid. The -switch option is equivalent to issuing the
command default (without options).
The switch must be disabled for configuration download of all parameters with the exception of SNMP
and Fabric Watch.
The following rules apply to configuration download in Virtual Fabric mode:
•When downloading the chassis configuration, the number of logical switches defined in the
configuration download must match the number of logical switches currently defined on the switch.
•When downloading the switch configuration, the target FID must be defined in both the configuration
download and the current system.
•When downloading the switch configuration from a specified source FID to a target FID, the target
FID must be defined on the switch and the source FID and associated configuration must be defined
in the configuration download. In addition, downloading an SFID configuration resets the target FID
ports without warning. Caution is advised when using this option.
•When downloading all configuration parameters, the number of switches defined in the downloaded
configuration file must match the number of switches currently defined on the switch. In addition, the
following restrictions apply:
-The switches must be disabled unless you only wish to download SNMP or Fabric Watch
parameters.
-Downloading a configuration file from a system that is not Virtual Fabric-capable to a system in
Virtual Fabric mode is not recommended. The configuration is applied to the default switch only,
and only to the ports that are part of the default switch.
-Downloading a Virtual Fabrics configuration file with the -vf option to a switch that has Admin
Domains configured is not permitted, and the command fails with a warning message. Virtual
Fabrics and Admin Domains cannot coexist on the same switch.
If an FCS policy is enabled, the following rules and restrictions apply:
•Both [Defined Security Policies] and [Active Security Policies] sections must exist and contain the
FCS_POLICY.
•In the [Defined Security Policies] section, at least one member of the FCS_POLICY must be the
same as a member in the previous FCS_POLICY.
•In the [Active Security Policies] section, the FCS_POLICY must be exactly the same as the previous
FCS_POLICY. Order of members must be maintained.
•If either security policies section has an RSNMP_POLICY, then that section must have a
WSNMP_POLICY.
Fabric OS Command Reference 145

configDownload 2
•After the switch is enabled, if the switch is the primary FCS, then its security and zoning information
is propagated to all other switches in the fabric.
•After the switch is enabled, if the switch is a non-FCS or a backup FCS, then its security and zoning
information will be overwritten by the primary FCS.
Security parameters and the switch identity cannot be changed by configDownload. Parameters such
as the switch name and IP address are ignored; they are lines in the configuration file that begin with
"boot". Security parameters and version stamp are ignored; they are the lines in the configuration file that
begin with "sec".
[License] is only accepted if the boot.mac parameter matches the license ID (WWN) of the switch
performing the download; otherwise, it is ignored.
The configuration parameters R_A_TOV, E_D_TOV, WAN_TOV, and MAX_HOPS are interrelated.
Assigning a specific value to one or more of these parameters might change the range of allowed values
that can be assigned to the other parameters. As a result, you may not be able to set all the values within
the range displayed for each parameter. This command validates the modified values of these four
parameters and terminates the download operation, if the validation check fails.
This is particularly important when downloading a zoning configuration. Because the new zoning
information is added to the current configuration, there might not be any conflicts. If the current zoning
configuration is to be replaced, the keyword "clear:" should be inserted into the configuration file
immediately before the zoning lines (starting at the line "[Zoning]").
If the configuration file contains the keyword "enable:" followed by a zone_configuration, that zoning
configuration is enabled in the fabric. If there is no "enable:" keyword in the configuration file or no zoning
configuration by that name exists, or if enable fails for any reason (such as dangling aliases), then the
following conditions apply:
•The effective configuration remains as it was prior to the configuration download. The "enable:"
action is ignored.
•The Defined Configuration changes to reflect the new zoning configuration.
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.
If the switch is in Access Gateway mode, some of the configuration parameters will take effect only after
the switch has been re-enabled with the switchEnable command.
F_Port trunking configurations are not saved in the configuration file and will not be restored after a
configuration download.
Do not manually edit a configuration file after uploading the file and before downloading the file to a
switch. Manual editing bypasses sanity checks for some configuration parameters and results in
unpredictable system behavior.
The configDownload command prompts for confirmation and issues a notice that "A switch reboot is
required for the changes to take effect." A configuration download affects large amount of configuration
data, and there is no reliable mechanism to determine, which of these parameters may or may not
require a reboot. To ensure that all configuration changes are applied correctly, Brocade strongly
recommends that you always reboot the switch after a configuration download.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-p ftp | -ftp or -p scp | -scp or -p sftp | -sftp
Specifies the data transmission protocol as either file transfer protocol (FTP),
secure copy protocol (SCP), or secure FTP (SFTP). If no protocol is specified, the
protocol defaults to FTP.

-vf Downloads the Virtual Fabric configuration (switch-conf_xx.txt) instead of the
regular system configuration. The switch-con_xx.txt file contains a listing of logical
switches configured on the platform specified by the platform ID (xx) and other
Virtual Fabric parameters. You cannot use the -vf option with any of the system
configuration upload options (-fid, -chassis, -all).
-all Downloads all configuration data, including chassis and switch configuration data.
-fid FID Downloads the switch configuration to a logical switch specified by its fabric ID.
This operand is valid only in a Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis
permissions.
-chassis Downloads the chassis configuration only.
-switch Downloads the switch configuration only. This operand is valid only in non-VF
mode.
"host"Specifies the name or the IP address of the external host, from which to download
the configuration. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. To be able to mention
the FTP server by name, you need to set up two DNS servers with dnsConfig.
Quotation marks are optional.
"user"Specifies the login name for the external host. Quotation marks are optional.
"path"Specifies the file name and path of the configuration file. Absolute path names
may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names search for the file
in the login account's home directory on UNIX hosts and in the directory on which
the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is valid only when the
file is downloaded from an external host. Quotation marks are optional.
"passwd"Specifies the account password. Quotation marks are optional.
-local Downloads a specified configuration file from a predetermined directory on the
local chassis.
-USB | -U Downloads a specified configuration file from a predetermined directory on an
attached USB device.
"file"Specifies the name of the configuration file to be downloaded. This parameter can
be used only with the -local or -USB option, each of which retrieves files from a
predetermined directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device.
Therefore, subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted. Quotation
marks are optional.
-force Overwrites an existing file without confirmation. This parameter is valid only with
the -local or -USB options.

configDownload 2
DIAGNOSTICS The configuration download may fail for one or more of the following reasons:
•The switch has not been disabled. Disabling the switch is not necessary for configuration files
containing only certain SNMP or Fabric Watch parameters. You can run configDownload first
without disabling the switch, and if there is at least one changed parameter outside of Fabric Watch
or SNMP, you are prompted to disable the switch before proceeding.
•The host name is not known to the switch.
•The host IP address cannot be contacted.
•You do not have permission on the host.
•You are running a script that prints something at login.
•The file does not exist on the host.
•The file is not a switch configuration file.
•The FTP server is not running on the host.
•The configuration file contains errors.
•The configuration file's logical switch definitions do not match the definitions on the target switch.
•Admin Domains are configured on the switch, and you attempt to download a Virtual Fabrics
configuration file.
EXAMPLES To download the switch configuration file interactively to the current logical switch from a local directory
(no chassis permissions):
switch:admin> configdownload
Protocol (scp, ftp, sftp, local) [ftp]:
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 192.168.163.233
User Name [user]: admin
Path/Filename [<home dir>/config.txt]:
Section (all|chassis|FID# [all]):
*** CAUTION ***
This command is used to download a backed-up configuration
for a specific switch. If using a file from a different
switch, this file's configuration settings will override
any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration
file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch,
may cause the switch to fail.
A switch reboot is required for the changes to take effect.
Please make sure all the switches are disabled by
using chassisdisable command. Downloading configuration
to an online switch may result in some configuration not
being downloaded to that switch.
configDownload operation may take several minutes
to complete for large files.

configShow 2
configShow
Displays system configuration settings.
SYNOPSIS configshow
configshow [-all | -fid FID | -chassis | -switch] |
[-local | -USB | -U] [file] [-pattern "pattern"]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display system configuration settings. Some but not all of these parameters are set
by the configure and configureChassis commands.
Configuration data is grouped into chassis information and switch information. Each configuration type is
managed separately. The behavior of configShow depends on the environment in which the command
is executed:
•In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without operands, this command displays the switch
configuration for the current logical switch. An Admin with chassis permissions can use additional
parameters to display configuration data for a specified logical switch (-fid FID), for the chassis
(-chassis), or for all logical switches and the chassis (-all).
•In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without operands, this command displays the
switch configuration. When executed with the -all operand, configShow displays all of the system's
configuration data, including chassis and switch configuration data. The -chassis option displays the
chassis configuration only. The -switch option displays the switch configuration only. The -fid option
is not valid.
NOTES Not all values displayed are applicable to all system models and configurations.
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.
OPERANDS The following operands are optional:
-pattern "pattern"Specifies a text string, enclosed in double quotation marks, that limits the output of
the command to only those entries that contain the pattern. Use of wildcards and
other common regular expression operators is not supported. Some configuration
settings do not display when filtered. When in doubt, use the command without
the -pattern operand. Executing configShow -pattern without further operands is
not recommended and can cause unspecified behavior.
-all Displays all configuration data including chassis and switch configuration.
-fid FID Displays configuration data for a logical switch specified by its fabric ID. This
option is valid only in a Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis
permissions
-chassis Displays configuration data for the chassis only. This option is valid only in a
Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis permissions
-switch Displays the switch configuration only. This option is valid only in a Non-Virtual
Fabric environment.

DESCRIPTION This command uploads configuration data to a file. Two types of configuration files can be uploaded with
this command: Virtual Fabric configuration parameters and system configuration parameters.
Use the -vf option to upload Virtual Fabric configuration parameters. The Virtual Fabric configuration
includes logical switch definitions and Virtual Fabric status (enabled or disabled). The file should be
named switch-conf_xx.txt to distinguish it from the regular system configuration (config.txt). The xx
indicates the platform ID specified in the header of the configuration file. The platform ID is the same as
the first two digits of the "switchType" parameter displayed by switchShow. Virtual Fabric configuration
data can only be shared between switches that belong to the same platform type and share the same
platform ID. Refer to configDownload help for more information on the Virtual Fabric configuration.
156 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
configUpload
2
The system configuration data is uploaded separately. It is grouped into chassis information and switch
information. Each configuration type is managed separately and the behavior of configUpload depends
on the environment in which the command is executed and which part of the system configuration you
wish to upload.
•In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without chassis permissions, this command uploads
the current logical switch configuration only. An Admin user with chassis permissions can use
additional parameters to perform the following selective configuration uploads:
-Upload the switch configuration of a specified logical switch (-fid FID).
-Upload the chassis configuration only (-chassis).
-Upload the entire system configuration including the data for all logical switches and for the
chassis (-all).
- Upload the switch configuration only in Non-VF mode(-switch).
The interactive version of the command (no operands) prompts for input on only the parameters the
user is allowed to execute.
•In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, this command by default uploads the configuration for the
default logical switch only. To upload the chassis-level configuration only, use the -chassis option.
To upload both the chassis and switch configuration, use the -all option. Chassis permissions are
required. The -fid option is not valid. The -switch option is equivalent to issuing the command
default (without options).
You can use the file transfer protocol (FTP), the secure copy protocol (SCP), or secure FTP (SFTP) to
upload configuration files to an external host, or you can save the configuration in a predetermined
directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device. If the specified file already exists, this
command prompts you to overwrite the file. Specify -force to overwrite the file without confirmation.
When the local chassis is chosen as the destination, the resulting file is written to both primary and
secondary partitions, and on enterprise-class platforms, to both Active and Standby Control Processors
(CPs).
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information on backward compatibility, on configuration
upload and download in Admin Domains (AD), and on the content of the configuration file.
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.
F_Port trunking configurations are not saved in the configuration file and will not be restored after a
configuration download.
Do not manually edit a configuration or a switch-conf.xx file after uploading the file and before
downloading the file to a switch. Manual editing bypasses sanity checks for some configuration
parameters and results in unpredictable system behavior.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-p ftp | -ftp or -p scp | -scp or -p sftp | -sftp
Specifies the data transmission protocol as either file transfer protocol (FTP),
secure copy protocol (SCP), or secure FTP (SFTP). If no protocol is specified, the
protocol defaults to FTP.
-vf Uploads the Virtual fabric configuration to a file. You must specify a filename when
uploading this file. It is recommended to name this file switch-conf_xx.txt (where
xx indicates the platform ID) to distinguish this file from the system configuration
(config.txt). Use switchShow to determine the platform ID of the system. The
platform ID in the header of the configuration file is the same as the first two digits
of the switchType parameter in the switchShow output. You cannot use the -vf
option with any of the regular configuration upload options (-fid, -chassis, -all).
Fabric OS Command Reference 157
53-1003108-01
configUpload 2
-fid FID Uploads switch configuration data from a logical switch specified by its fabric ID.
This parameter is valid only in a Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis
permissions.
-chassis Uploads chassis configuration only.
-all Uploads all system configuration data including chassis and switch configuration
for all logical switches.
-switch Uploads the switch configuration only. This operand is not valid in VF mode.
"host"Specifies the name or the IP address of the external host to which to upload the
configuration. To be able to mention the FTP server by name, you need to set up
one or more DNS servers with dnsConfig. Quotation marks are optional.
"user"Specifies the login name for the external host. Quotation marks are optional.
"path"Specifies the file name and path of the configuration file. Absolute path names
may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names upload the file to
the login account's home directory on UNIX hosts and into the directory on which
the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is valid only when the
file is uploaded to an external host. Quotation marks are optional.
"passwd"Specifies the account password. Quotation marks are optional.
-local Uploads a specified configuration file to a predetermined directory on the local
chassis. This option requires a file name.
-USB | -U Uploads a specified configuration file to a predetermined directory on an attached
USB device. This option requires a file name.
"file"Specifies the file name. Quotation marks are optional. This parameter is valid only
with the -local or -USB options, each of which stores files in a predetermined
directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device. Therefore,
subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted.
-force Overwrites an existing file without confirmation. This parameter is valid only with
the -local or -USB options.
When invoked without operands or without "host" or "file" parameters, configUpload runs in interactive
mode.
DIAGNOSTICS The configuration upload may fail for one or more of the following reasons:
•The host name is not known to the switch.
•The host IP address cannot be contacted.
•The user does not have permission on the host.
•The FTP server is not running on the host.

Changes switch configuration settings.
SYNOPSIS configure
DESCRIPTION Use this command to change switch configuration settings.
Configuration data is grouped into chassis information and switch information. Each configuration type is
managed separately. For information on file format and specific parameters contained in each section,
refer to the configUpload help page.
The behavior of the configure command depends on the environment in which the command is
executed:
•In a Virtual Fabric environment, the configure command sets switch configuration parameters for
the current logical switch only. If a switch or chassis is configured with multiple logical switches, you
must configure each logical switch separately. Use the setContext command to change the current
logical switch context.
•In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, the configure command sets switch configuration parameters.
To configure chassis-wide parameters, use the configureChassis command.
The following switch configuration parameters can be set with the configure command:
• Switch fabric parameters
• Virtual channel parameters
• F_Port login parameters
• Zoning operation parameters
• Remote State Change Notifications (RSCN) transmission mode
• Arbitrated Loop parameters
• System Services settings
• Portlog Events enable or disable settings
• Secure Socket Layer (SSL) attributes
• Remote Procedure Call Daemon (RPCD) attributes
• Web Tools attributes
To access all parameters controlled by this command, you must disable the switch using the
switchDisable command. If executed on an enabled switch, only a subset of attributes are configurable.
Menu displays may vary depending on the hardware platform.
The configure command runs in interactive mode and presents you with a series of hierarchical menus.
Each top-level menu and its associated submenus consist of a text prompt, a selection of valid values,
and a default value (in brackets).
The following keys control the execution of the command:
Return When entered at a prompt with no preceding input, the command accepts the
default value (if applicable) and moves to the next prompt.
Interrupt (Ctrl-C)Aborts the command immediately and ignores all changes made.
End-of-file (Ctrl-D)When entered at a prompt with no preceding input, terminates the command and
saves changes made.

The following parameters can be modified with the configure command:
Fabric Parameters
Fabric settings control the overall behavior and operation of the fabric. Some of these settings, such as
the domain, are assigned automatically and may differ from one switch to another in a given fabric. Other
parameters, such as buffer-to-buffer credit or timeout values, can be modified to suit specific applications
or operating environments but must be in agreement among all switches to allow formation of the fabric.
The following fabric settings can be modified (* = multiplication symbol)

Fabric parameters are defined as follows:
Domain The domain number uniquely identifies a switch in a fabric. This value is
automatically assigned by the fabric. The range is 1-239.
Enable 8-bit Dynamic Area Mode
When enabled, this feature supports Dynamic Area Mode in default partitions on
the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, and DCX 8510-4. Dynamic Area Mode
is disabled by default. When enabled, Dynamic Area Mode supports both static
and dynamic area assignment. Use the portAddress command to perform a
static assignment of an area to a given port. In Dynamic Area Mode, areas are
dynamically assigned to the ports (up to a 255 limit). Port area assignments are
persistent; however, disabling Dynamic Area Mode with configure resets the area
assignments. This feature is configurable only on the default switch.
Enabling Dynamic Area Mode fails under one or more of the following conditions:
•The number of ports in the default partition exceeds 255.
•An AP blade with FL ports is present in the chassis (Brocade Encryption
blade, or FCoE 10-24.
Fabric OS Command Reference 161
53-1003108-01
configure 2
WWN Based persistent PID
When enabled, this feature supports both dynamic and static WWN-based PID
assignment. In dynamic PID binding, the first area assigned to a device when it
logs in is bound to the device WWN and remains persistent through subsequent
logins. Every time the device logs into the switch, it is guaranteed to get the same
PID. Alternately, you can use the wwnAddress command to create a static
WWN-based PID assignment. In either case, the WWN-based persistent PID
feature must be enabled through configure. The feature is disabled by default; it
is dependent on Dynamic Area Mode being enabled.
Dynamic D-Port Disables or enables Dynamic D_Port mode configuration on the switch. By
default, Dynamic D_Port mode is ON. When Dynamic D_Port mode is ON, the
port may dynamically go into D_Port mode based on external request from remote
HBA or device port. After the D_Port tests are complete, the port may
automatically switch to operate as an F_Port. This option is not supported in AG
mode.
Allow XISL Use An extended interswitch link (XISL) is an interswitch link (ISL) that connects the
logical switch to the base switch and carries traffic for multiple logical fabrics. This
feature is supported only on Virtual Fabric-aware platforms under the following
conditions: Virtual Fabrics must be enabled on the switch, and the switch cannot
be a base switch. In addition, on the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, and
DCX 8510-4 the switch cannot be a default switch or include interchassis link
(ICL) ports. This feature is enabled by default (yes=enabled). On the Brocade
5100, 5300, VA-40FC, and 6510 default switch, the feature is disabled by default
(no=disabled). Beginning with Fabric OS v7.0.0, the XISL feature is supported on
the Brocade extension blade (FX8-24).
You do not need to disable the logical switch before changing the value of this
parameter. Turning off XISL use requires confirmation because all LISLs will be
removed upon execution. If the logical switch is enabled and is part of an edge
fabric connected to an FCR, this parameter cannot be turned on. If the logical
switch is disabled or it is not yet part of an edge fabric, this parameter can be
turned on. However, execution may cause edge fabric segmentation if the
EX_Port connected to the edge fabric is disabled while the logical switch is
enabled or connected to the edge fabric. The Brocade 7800 VF configuration
does not support XISL usage and therefore this option is not available on this
logical switch.
Location ID The Location ID parameter is reserved for future use and it must remain
unchanged with the default value of 0.
Disable FID Check If fabric ID (FID) check is disabled, the fabric ignores the Fabric Identifier conflict
with the neighboring switch during fabric formation. By default, FID check is
enabled. If the fabric detects a FID conflict, it disables the E_Port with a "Fabric ID
conflict" message. This parameter is configurable only if the switch is Virtual
Fabric-aware and Virtual Fabric is enabled on the switch.
Enable 256 Area limit The 256 area limit allows the partition to be configured for 8-bit addressing rather
than the default 10-bit addressing. Each port in this partition is given a unique
area represented by the middle 8 bits of the PID. Valid values include the
following:
0No limit is imposed on the area. This is the default value. The partition is
configured for 10-bit addressing and supports up to 1800 ports.
162 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
configure

1The unique area assignments begin at zero regardless of where the port is
physically located. This allows FICON users to make use of high port count port
blades with port indexes greater than 256.
2The unique area assignments are based on the port index. This mode does not
allow FICON users to make use of ports with an index greater than 256 (high ports
of a high port count blade), but this mode is compatible with domain-index zoning.
This parameter is configurable only if the switch is Virtual Fabric-aware and Virtual
Fabric is enabled on the switch.
R_A_TOV The resource allocation time out value specified in milliseconds. This variable
works with the variable E_D_TOV to determine switch actions when presented
with an error condition.
Allocated circuit resources with detected errors are not released until the time
value has expired. If the condition is resolved prior to the time out, the internal
time-out clock resets and waits for the next error condition.
E_D_TOV Error detect time out value specified in milliseconds. This timer is used to flag a
potential error condition when an expected response is not received within the set
time limit. If the time for an expected response exceeds the set value, then an
error condition occurs.
WAN_TOV Wide area network time out value specified in milliseconds. This timer is the
maximum frame time out value for a WAN, if any, interconnecting the Fibre
Channel islands.
MAX_HOPS Maximum hops is an integer that denotes the upper limit on the number of hops a
frame might have to traverse to reach any destination port from any source port
across the fabric.
Note that the R_A_TOV, E_D_TOV, WAN_TOV, and MAX_HOPS configuration
parameters are interrelated. Assigning a specific value to one or more of these
parameters can change the range of allowed values that can be assigned to the
other parameters. As a result, you may not be able to set all the values within the
range displayed against each parameter. To reduce problems, the configuration
utility validates the modified parameter values and prompts you to re-enter some
values, if the validation check fails.
Data Field Size The data field size specifies the largest possible value, in bytes, for the size of a
type 1 (data) frame. The switch advertises this value to other switches in the fabric
during construction of the fabric as well as to other devices when they connect to
the fabric. Setting this parameter to a value smaller than 2112 might result in
decreased performance.
Sequence-Level Switching
When sequence-level switching is set to 1, frames of the same sequence from a
particular source are transmitted as a group. When this feature is set to 0, frames
are transmitted interleaved among multiple sequences.
Under normal conditions, sequence-level switching should be disabled for better
performance. However, some host adapters have performance issues when
receiving interleaved frames from multiple sequences. When there are such
devices attached to the fabric, sequence-level switching should be enabled.
Fabric OS Command Reference 163
53-1003108-01
configure 2
Disable Device Probing
When disable device probing is set to 1, devices that do not register with the
Name Server will not be present in the Name Server data base. Set this mode
only if the switch's N_Port discovery process (PLOGI, PRLI, INQUIRY) causes an
attached device to fail.
Suppress Class F Traffic
By default, the switch can send Class F frames. When this option is turned on,
Class F traffic is converted to Class 2 traffic before being transmitted.
Per-frame Route Priority
In addition to the eight virtual channels used in frame routing priority, support is
also available for per-frame-based prioritization when this value is set. When
Per-frame Route Priority is set to 1, the virtual channel ID is used in conjunction
with a frame header to form the final virtual channel ID.
Long Distance Fabric When this mode is set to 1, ISLs in a fabric can be up to 100 km long. The exact
distance level is determined by the per-port configuration on the E_Ports of each
ISL. Both E_Ports in an ISL must be configured to run the same long-distance
level; otherwise, the fabric will be segmented.
An Extended Fabrics license is required to set this mode.
BB Credit The buffer-to-buffer (BB) credit represents the number of buffers available to
attached devices for frame receipt. The range of allowed values varies depending
on other system settings (see Unicast-only Operation). Refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide for more information on platform-specific BB Credit
limitations.
Insistent Domain ID Mode
When this mode is set, the switch attempts to acquire from the fabric the domain
number programmed in its "Switch Fabric Settings." If the operation fails, the
switch will segment from the fabric. You must disable the switch before configuring
this parameter.
Disable Default PortName
When this mode is set, the switch does not generate a default port name.
Edge hold time Configures the maximum time a frame can wait after it is received on the ingress
port and before it is delivered to the egress port. If the frame waits in the egress
buffer for more than the configured hold time, the switch drops the frame,
replenishes sender's credit, and increments the counters er_tx_c3_timeout and
er_rx_c3_timeout on the TX and RX ports respectively. The frame-timeout
indicates a slow draining or a congestion or bottleneck in the fabric. Decreasing
hold time on the edge switches may reduce frame drop counts in the core
switches. This parameter is stored persistently in the configuration file. You can
configure edge hold time on both default and logical switch.
The edge hold time configuration is a chip-based value and the configuration
varies between Condor2-based platforms and Condor3-based platforms.
Condor2-based platform provides one register to store the edge hold time value
and any change in this value will affect all ports in the chip. Therefore, the edge
hold time configuration will not be changed for Condor2-based platform ports in a
logical switch. The Condor2-based platform ports in a logical switch take the
default edge hold time value (220 milliseconds) or the value configured in the
default switch. Condor3-based platform provides four registers to store the edge
hold time configuration and therefore each port in a chip can be configured one of
the four values.
164 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
configure
2
The edge hold time parameter is enabled by default with a value of 220
milliseconds. The following are the three predefined edge hold time values:
80 Low edge hold time (in milliseconds).
220 Medium edge hold time (in milliseconds). This is the default value.
500 High edge hold time (in milliseconds).
User Defined A user-defined value may be defined in the range of 80 - 500 milliseconds in
increments of one. This value is only applicable to the default switch.
In a logical switch, the edge hold time configuration is updated only for Condor3
ports. If Condor2 ports are present in the logical switch, the SWCH-1025 RASLog
message is triggered to indicate that Condor2 ports are present and the edge hold
time configuration will not change for these ports.
Virtual Channel Settings
VC Priority specifies the class of frame traffic given priority for a virtual channel. The switch enables
fine-tuning for a specific application by configuring the parameters for eight virtual channels. The first two
virtual channels are reserved for switch internal functions and are not available for modification.
The default virtual channel settings have already been optimized for switch performance. Changing the
default values can improve switch performance but can also degrade performance. Do not change these
settings without fully understanding the effects of the changes.
The values for virtual channel settings are as follows:
Field Default Range
____________________________________
VC Priority 2 2 2 to 3
VC Priority 3 2 2 to 3
VC Priority 4 2 2 to 3
VC Priority 5 2 2 to 3
VC Priority 6 3 2 to 3
VC Priority 7 3 2 to 3
F_Port Login Parameters
Specifies the F_Port login parameters. The following F_Port login settings are configurable. Unless there
are issues with F_Port staging, do not change default values. (* = multiplication symbol)

Maximum logins per switch
Sets a switch-wide limit on allowed logins. The maximum login per switch has
decreased with Fabric OS v6.4.0. When upgrading from pre-v6.4.0 firmware
versions, the configured maximum is carried forward and may exceed the v6.4.0
limit. It is recommended to reconfigure this parameter to be within the range
permitted in Fabric OS v6.4.0.
The following three parameters are related to staged F_Port logins by FLOGI requests and virtual device
logins by FDISC(SID==0) requests.
Logins per second Specifies the number of logins the switch accepts per second in staged F_Port
bring up.
Login stage interval Specifies the stage interval in staged F_Port bring up.
Stage FDISC logins with busy reject:
This parameter, if nonzero, enables staging of FDISC logins by rejecting the
FDISC requests with "logical busy", when the requests are more than the number
of configured "logins per second". It also specifies the number of FDISC requests
that will always be accepted first without reject.
Enforce FLOGI/FDISC login
Setting this flag allows a second F_Port login (FLOGI/FDISC login) in the event of
two devices attempting to log in with the same PWWN. In default mode (zero) the
first FLOGI/FDISC login takes precedence over the second. When the mode is set
to 1, the second FLOGI/FDISC login takes precedence over the first. All modes
are for NPIV and non-NPIV F-Ports. When mode is set to 2, on FLOGI login the
first FLOGI takes precedence. On FDISC login, the second FDISC takes
precedence. For more information, refer to "Configure FLOGI-time handling of
duplicate PWWNs" section in the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. You must
disable the switch to change this parameter.
MAX num. of FLOGIs allowed
Specifies the number of FLOGIs the port can accept per second. The default
value is 100. When the FLOGI limit is reached, the port will be fenced.
Zoning Operation Parameters
The following zoning operation parameter can be modified.
Disable NodeName Zone Checking
Specify 1 to disable using node WWN when specifying nodes in the zone
database. Specify 0 to enable using node WWN when specifying nodes in the
zone data. The default value is 0. This value must be set to 1 for interpretability.
RSCN Transmission Mode
The RSCN transmission modes and values are as follows:
End-device RSCN Transmission Mode
Values are as follows:
0RSCN only contains single PID
1RSCN contains multiple PIDs (Default)
2Fabric addresses RSCN

Domain RSCN to End-device
Values are as follows:
0Disabled. No domain RSCN is sent to the end-device for the switch IP address or
name change.
1Enabled. Domain RSCN is sent to the end-device for the switch IP address or
name change.
Arbitrated Loop Parameters
Arbitrated Loop Parameter and their values are as follows:
Send FAN frames? Specifies that fabric address notification (FAN) frames be sent to public loop
devices to notify them of their node ID and address. When set to 1, frames are
sent; when set to 0, frames are not sent. The default value is 1.
Enable CLOSE on OPEN received?
If this is set, a CLS is returned immediately to an OPN if no buffers are available.
This is required for TachLite. The valid range is 0 to 4. The default value is 0.
Always send RSCN? Following the completion of loop initialization, a remote state change notification
(RSCN) is issued when FL_Ports detect the presence of new devices or the
absence of preexisting devices. When set to 1, an RSCN is issued upon
completion of loop initialization, regardless of the presence or absence of new or
preexisting devices. When set to 0, an RSCN is not sent (default).
System Services Settings
The values for the System Services settings are as follows:
Disable RLS probing Enables or disables the read link status (RLS) probing. Performed by the FCP
daemon, RLS probing reads the link error block from the device. This extended
link services command is defined by the FC standards. Refer to the FC standards
for information. RLS probing is enabled by default, meaning "Disable RLS
probing" is "off". "on" disables RLS probing.
Portlog Events Enable/Disable Settings
These settings determine whether or not various types of port events are logged.
Each event type displayed on the screen is enabled by default ("on"). When disabled, this event is not
logged by the port log.
Application Attributes
A number of application attributes are configurable. The following table specifies the attributes for
applications that can be modified.

configureChassis
Changes chassis-level system configuration settings.
SYNOPSIS configurechassis
DESCRIPTION Use this command to modify chassis-level system configuration settings.
Configuration data is grouped into chassis information and switch information. Each configuration type is
managed separately.
Use the configure command to modify switch configuration parameters. Use the configureChassis
command to modify the following chassis configuration parameters:
•Cfgload attributes
•Custom Attributes
•System settings
•fos attributes
This command requires chassis permissions in both Virtual Fabric and non-Virtual Fabric environments.
The configureChassis command interactively presents a hierarchical menu. Each top-level heading
and its associated subheadings consist of a text prompt, a selection of valid values, and a default value
(in brackets).
The following keys control the execution of the command:
Return When entered at a prompt with no preceding input, the command accepts the
default value (if applicable) and moves to the next prompt.
Interrupt (Ctrl-C)Aborts the command immediately and ignores all changes made.
End-of-file (Ctrl-D)When entered at a prompt with no preceding input, terminates the command and
saves changes made.
The following parameters can be modified with the configureChassis command:
Cfgload Attributes Configures configuration upload and download parameters.
Enforce secure Config Upload/Download
Enables (yes) or disables (no) secure configuration upload or download. The
default value is "no.
Enforce signature validation for firmware
Enables (yes) or disables (no) signature validation enforcement. By default, this
feature is disabled (no).
Add Suffix to the uploaded file name
Appends a suffix to the uploaded configuration file. The suffix includes the chassis
name and a time stamp in the yyymmdd_hhmmss format. Refer to the example
section for an illustration. This feature is disabled by default.
Custom Attributes The following custom attributes can be modified.
config Index OEM custom configuration. The range is 0 through 10000. The default is 0. This
attribute is for internal use only.

System attributes The following system-related parameters are configurable on a Virtual
Fabric-aware switch.
system.blade.bladeFaultOnHwErrMsk
If this field is set to a value other than 0, then any nonfatal HW ASIC data parity
error causes the problem blade to be powered off. The valid range is 0x0 to 0xffff.
The default value is 0x0.
system.cpuLoad Sets a threshold to define internally when the CPU is busy. The default threshold
is 121, which represents a CPU instantaneous load average of 1.21 in the or top
command. The range is 10 to 121 (representing CPU load thresholds of .10 to
1.21).
system.i2cTurboCnfg
Configures the i2c driver that manages processing of the i2c interrupts. The I2C
Turbo mode is enabled (Setting 1) by default on all 16G platforms running Fabric
OS v7.0 or later. The mode is disabled by default for any switches capable of
running Fabric OS v6.4x and Fabric OS v6.3x. An upgrade preserves the
pre-upgrade configuration. The value shown in brackets is the current value. The
following values are supported:
0Disables the I2C Turbo mode. When the I2C Turbo mode is disabled, every
byte received by an i2c interrupt is scheduled for processing by the given task
or process. This permits other high priority processes to complete, thereby
allowing for possible delay in the receipt of the I2C response message.
1Enables the I2C Turbo mode for SFP transceivers only. This is the default
setting. When the I2C Turbo mode is enabled, every I2C byte received from
an SFP transceiver is processed by the interrupt handler itself, thus
preventing any higher priority processes from preempting this processing.
2For internal use only.
fos attributes The following chassis-wide CS_CTL mappings can be modified:
CSCTL QoS Mode
Configures the CS_CTL to virtual channel (VC) mapping. This operation is
disruptive and therefore you must disable all edge blades after you change the
CS_CTL to VC mapping.
0Clears any previously configured CS_CTL to VC mapping and sets
one-to-one mapping between a CS_CTL value and VC number for Condor2
and Condor3 ASIC. The CS_CTL values are divided into three groups: 1-8
(low priority), 9-16 (medium priority), and 17-24 (high priority). This is the
default mode.
1Sets the CS_CTL to VC mapping to support three CS_CTL values: 1 (low
priority), 2 (medium priority), and 3 (high priority). Each CS_CTL value can
map to more than one VC depending on the underlying support from ASIC.
This is the auto mode. For more information about CS_CTL-based frame
prioritization, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

creditRecovMode
Enables credit loss recovery on back-end ports and time-out based credit loss detection of Condor 2
front-end ports.
SYNOPSIS creditrecovmode --cfg [off | onLrOnly | onLrThresh]
[-lrthreshold threshold]
-fault [edgeblade | coreblade | edgecoreblade]
creditrecovmode --check [slot/]blade_port,VC
creditrecovmode --fe_crdloss [off | on]
creditrecovmode --linkreset [slot/]blade_port
creditrecovmode --show
creditrecovmode --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable credit recovery of backend ports and to display the configuration.
When this feature is enabled, credit is recovered on backend ports (ports connected to the core blade or
core blade backend ports) when credit loss has been detected on these ports. If complete loss of credit
on a Condor2 backend port causes frame timeouts, a link reset will be performed on that port regardless
of the configured setting, even if that setting is --cfg off. When used with the --cfg onLrOnly option, the
recovery mechanism takes the following escalating actions:
•When it detects credit loss, it performs a link reset and logs a RASlog message (RAS Cx-1014).
•If the link reset fails to recover the port, the port reinitializes. A RASlog message is generated (RAS
Cx-1015). Note that the port reinitialization does not fault the blade.
•If the port fails to reinitialize, the port is faulted. A RASlog message (RAS Cx-1016) is generated.
•If a port is faulted and there are no more online backend ports in the trunk, the core blade is faulted.
(Note that the port blade will always be faulted.) A RASlog message is generated (RAS Cx-1017).
When used with the --cfg onLrThresh option, recovery is attempted through repeated link resets and a
count of the link resets is kept. If the threshold of more than the configured threshold value (using the
-lrthreshold option) per hour is reached, the blade is faulted (RAS Cx-1018). Note that regardless of
whether the link reset occurs on the port blade or on the core blade, the port blade is always faulted.
If you suspect complete credit loss on a particular virtual channel (VC) on a particular backend port, use
the --check option to examine that particular backend port and VC for credit loss. If the command detects
complete credit loss, it reports the information. If, in addition, you have enabled link resets on backend
ports, this command will perform a link reset on the link in an attempt to recover from the problem. You
must explicitly initiate this check and it is a one-time operation. In other words, this command does not
continuously monitor for credit loss in the background. Detection of credit loss takes 2 to 7 seconds, after
which the results of the operation are displayed. A link reset also generates a RASlog message.
For more information on the RASlog messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference.
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.
This command is supported only on backend ports of Condor, Condor 2, and Condor 3-based blades in
the Brocade DCX 8510-8 and DCX 8510-4 chassis.
The --check option is supported only on modular switches, and only on links between Condor 2 core
blades and Condor 2 port blades. AP blades are not supported.
Fabric OS Command Reference 173
53-1003108-01
creditRecovMode 2
The --fe_crdloss option is supported only on Condor 2-based front-end interswitch link (ISL) ports.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--cfg Configures credit recovery for backend ports. Use one of the following required
recovery options to configure credit recovery:
onLrOnly Enables the backend port recovery feature in link reset mode.
onLrThresh Enables the backend port recovery feature in link reset threshold mode.
off Disables the backend port credit recovery feature.
-lrthreshold threshold
Specifies the link reset threshold value. The default value is 2. Note that the
threshold value set using this option will apply only when the recovery mode is
onLrThresh.
-fault edgeblade The edge blade alone is faulted when the link reset threshold is reached.
-fault coreblade The core blade alone is faulted when the link reset threshold is reached.
-fault edgecoreblade
The edge blade is faulted the first two times the link reset threshold value is
reached. If the threshold value is reached the third time, the core blade is faulted.
The -fault option is supported only with the onLrThresh option.
--fe_crdloss Configures time-out based credit loss detection of Condor 2 front-end ISL links.
This feature is enabled by default.
off Disables credit loss detection on Condor 2 front-end ports.
on Enables credit loss detection on Condor 2 front-end ports.
-check Performs the on-demand detection of credit loss on a given backend port and VC.
This operand is optional and exclusive; when you specify this option you cannot
use the --cfg options at the same time. You must specify a port and a VC,
separated by a comma. A space before the comma is not permitted.
slot/blade_port Specifies the backend port that is to be examined for credit loss. The port number
must be the blade port number, because this is a backend port. The blade port
number can be located in the "Bpt" column output of the bladePortMap
command. Note that the bladeportmap command requires root permissions.
VC Specifies the Virtual Channel number. The valid range is from 1 through 31. VC 0
is invalid.
--linkreset slot/blade_port
Performs a link reset on the specified front-end or back-end blade port. The blade
port number can be located in the "Bpt" column output of the bladePortMap
command. The bladeportmap command requires root permissions.

cryptoCfg
Performs encryption configuration and management functions.
SYNOPSIS cryptocfg --help -nodecfg
cryptocfg --help -groupcfg
cryptocfg --help -hacluster
cryptocfg --help -devicecfg
cryptocfg --help -transcfg
cryptocfg --help -decommission
DESCRIPTION Use the cryptoCfg command to configure and manage the Brocade Encryption Switch and the FS8-18
encryption blade. These platforms support the encryption of data-at-rest for tape devices and disk array
logical unit numbers (LUNs).
The cryptoCfg CLI consists of eight command sets grouped around the following configuration
functions:
1. Node configuration
2. Encryption group configuration
3. High Availability (HA) cluster configuration
4. Storage device configuration and management
5. Transaction management
6. Device decommissioning
Each of these command groups is documented in a separate section that includes function, synopsis,
description, and operands. Examples are presented at the end of the help page.
For detailed encryption switch management and configuration procedures, refer to the Fabric OS
Encryption Administrator's Guide.
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.
CAUTION: When configuring a LUN with multiple paths, there is a considerable risk of ending up
with potentially catastrophic scenarios where different policies exist for each path of the LUN, or
a situation where one path ends up being exposed through the encryption switch and other path
has direct access to the device from a host outside the secured realm of the encryption platform.
To protect against this risk, it is necessary to configure containers IN SEQUENCE and with the
same policies and not issue a commit until the configuration for all hosts accessing the LUN is
complete. Failure to follow correct configuration procedures for multi-path LUNs results in data
corruption. If you are configuring multi-path LUNs as part of an HA cluster or DEK cluster or as a
standalone LUN accessed by multiple hosts, follow the instructions described in the section
"Configuring a multi-path Crypto LUN" in the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide.

DESCRIPTION Use the node configuration commands to perform node initialization and configuration tasks. Node
initialization and configuration must be performed on every node. A node is an encryption switch or a
chassis containing one or more encryption blades. A node is identified by the switch IP address or switch
WWN, which is subsequently referred to as the "node WWN." The node configuration commands include
the following functions:
•Node initialization and certificate generation.
•Certificate export and import to and from a specified host or USB device.
•Enabling or disabling an encryption engine (EE).
•Encryption group member node and group leader registration.

NOTES The initial setup includes preparatory steps that are outside the scope of the cryptoCfg command. For
preinitialization procedures, refer to the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide.
OPERANDS The cryptoCfg node initialization and configuration function has the following operands:
--help -nodecfg Displays the synopsis for the node initialization and configuration function. This
command is valid on all nodes.
--initnode Initializes the node to prepare for the configuration of encryption options.
Initialization must be performed on every node before configuration options may
be set and encryption may be enabled.
This command prompts for confirmation, because the --initnode function
overwrites any previously generated identification or authentication data on the
node. Successful execution generates the node CP certificate, the key
authentication center (KAC) certificate, the FIPS Crypto Officer, and the FIPS
User key pairs.
178 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg

Some of the certificates generated with this command may need to be exported
so that they can be registered with external entities, such as the key vault or the
group leader, for mutual authentication. Refer to the Fabric OS Encryption
Administrator's Guide for details.
The --initnode function must be performed before the --initEE function may be
performed.
--initEE Initializes the encryption engine (EE). This command generates critical security
parameters (CSPs) and certificates in the CryptoModule's security processor
(SP). The CP and the SP perform a certificate exchange to register respective
authorization data. Initialization must be performed on every encryption engine
before configuration options may be set and encryption may be enabled.
This command prompts for confirmation, because it overwrites any previously
generated identification or authentication data on the SP. Existing key encryption
keys (KEKs) such as link keys or master keys are erased. If this is not a first-time
initialization, make sure to export the master key before running this command. If
the encryption engine was configured with an LKM key vault, you will have to
reconfigure the key vault to regenerate the Trusted Link after initializing the
encryption engine.
The --initnode function must be performed before the --initEE function may be
performed.
slot Specifies the slot number of the encryption engine to be initialized. This operand
is required on bladed systems.
--regEE Registers a previously initialized encryption engine with the CP or chassis. The
CP and the specified encryption engine perform a certificate exchange to register
respective authorization lists across the encryption engine's FIPS boundary. The
encryption blade's certificate is registered with the CP. The CP, FIPS Crypto
Officer, and FIPS User certificate are registered with the specified encryption
engine.
slot Specifies the slot number of the encryption engine to be registered. This operand
is required on bladed systems.
--enableEE | --disableEE
Enables or disables an encryption engine to perform encryption. You must create
the encryption group and complete the key vault registration before you can
enable an encryption engine for encryption. In addition, you must re-enable the
encryption engine for encryption every time a Brocade Encryption Switch or DCX
chassis goes through a power cycle event or after issuing slotPowerOff followed
by slotPowerOn for an FS8-18 blade. This command is valid on all nodes.
slot Specifies the slot number to identify the encryption engine. This operand is
required on bladed systems.

--export Exports a certificate from the local encryption switch or blade to a specified
external host or to a mounted USB device. This command is valid on all nodes.
The files are exported from the predetermined directory that was generated during
the node initialization phase. The following operands are supported with the
--export command:
-scp Exports a specified certificate to an external host using the secure copy (SCP)
protocol.
When -scp is specified, the following operands are required:
host IP| host_name
Specifies the IP address of the host to which the file is to be exported. To
specify the host by name, it must first be configured with the dnsConfig
command.
host_username Specifies the user name for the host. Depending on your host configuration,
the command may prompt for a password.
host_file_path Specifies the fully qualified path to the file on the host to which the file is to be
exported. This includes the file name. Make sure to name your certificates so
you can track the file type and the originator switch, for example,
name_cpcert.pem.
-usb Exports a specified certificate to a mounted USB storage device. When -usb is
specified, the following operands are required:
dest_filename Specifies the name of the file on the USB device to which the file is to be
exported. The file is stored in a predetermined default directory on the
storage device.
Specify one of the following certificates to be exported. Certificates must be
specified by file type. Referring to certificates by file name is not permitted. These
file types are valid both with the -scp and with the -usb options.
-dhchallenge vault_IP_address
Exports the DH Challenge file for the specified key vault.
-currentMK Exports the current master key file.
-KACcert Exports the KAC certificate.
-KACcsr Exports the certificate sign request file. Use the cryptocfg --reg -KACcert
command to register the certificate on the node after it has been signed and
reimported. This procedure must be performed for all nodes that participate in
a two-way certificate exchange-based authentication mechanism with key
vaults. Two-way certificate exchange is supported only for the DPM, HP
SKM, and TEKA key vaults.
-CPcert Exports the member node CP certificate.
--import Imports a certificate from a specified external host or from a mounted USB
storage device to a predetermined directory on the local encryption switch or
blade. This command is valid on all nodes.

Files to be imported include member node CP certificates and key vault
certificates. Use the cryptocfg --show -file -all command to view all imported
files. The following operands are supported with the --importcommand:
-scp Imports a specified certificate from an external host using the secure copy (SCP)
protocol. When -scp is specified, the following operands are required:
local_name Specifies the name to be assigned to the imported certificate. This is a
user-generated file name.
host_IP | host_name
Specifies the IP address or name of the host from which to import the file. To
specify the host by name, it must first be configured with the dnscCnfig
command.
host_username Specifies the user name for the host. Depending on your host configuration,
this command may prompt for a password.
host_file_path Specifies the fully qualified path of the file to be imported. The path must
include the file name.
-usb Imports a file from a mounted USB storage device. This command is valid only on
nodes with an attached USB device. When -usb is specified, the following
operands are required:
dest_filename Specifies the name to be assigned to the imported file. This is a
user-generated file name.
source_filename Specifies the name of the certificate on the USB storage device from which
you are importing.
--reg -membernode Registers a member node with the group leader. This command is valid only on
the group leader. The encryption group must have been created prior to
performing member node registration. All member nodes and group leaders must
be registered before encryption group discovery and formation can occur.
The order in which member node registration is performed defines group leader
succession. At any given time, there is only one active group leader in an
encryption group. The group leader succession list Specifies the order in which
group leadership is assumed if the current group leader is not available.
The following operands are required when registering a member node with the
group leader:
member_node_WWN
Specifies the switch world wide name of the member node.
member_node_certfile
Specifies the member node CP certificate. You must have exported this file earlier
to external storage and then imported it to the group leader before you can
register a member node. Use the cryptocfg --show -file -all command to view all
imported certificates.
member_node_IP_add
Specifies the IP address of the member node to be registered with the group
leader.
Fabric OS Command Reference 181
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg 2
--dereg -membernode
Removes the registration for the specified member node. This command is valid
only on the group leader. The node is identified by the switch WWN.
member_node_WWN
Specifies the member node by its switch WWN. This operand is required when
removing a node registration.
--dhchallenge Establishes a link key agreement protocol between a node and an instance of the
primary or backup NetApp Lifetime Key Management (LKM) appliance. This
command generates the Diffie-Hellman challenge that is passed from the node to
the specified NetApp LKM appliance. When quorum authentication is enabled and
the quorum size is greater than zero, this operation requires authentication of a
quorum of authentication cards. This command is valid on all nodes.
vault_IP_addr Specifies the IP address of the NetApp LKM appliance. This operand is required.
--dhresponse Accepts the LKM Diffie-Hellman response from the specified NetApp LKM
appliance and generates the link key on the node on which this command is
issued. The DH response occurs by an automatic trusted link establishment
method. The LKM appliance must be specified by its vault_IP_addr. The DH
challenge request must be approved on the Net App LKM appliance for this
command to succeed. When quorum authentication is enabled (Quorum Size is >
0), this operation requires authentication of a quorum of authentication cards.
vault_IP_addr Specifies the IP address of the NetApp LKM appliance. This operand is required.
--zeroizeEE Zeroizes all critical security parameters on the local encryption switch or blade
including all data encryption keys. This command is valid on all nodes. This
operation causes the encryption switch to reboot. When issued on a chassis, it
power-cycles the encryption blade only. This command prompts for confirmation
and should be exercised with caution.
slot Specifies the slot number of the encryption engine to be zeroized on a bladed
system.
--delete -file Deletes an imported file. The file must be specified by its local name. This
command is valid on all nodes.
local_name Specifies the file to be deleted from the local directory where certificates are
stored.
--reg -KAClogin Registers the node KAC login credentials (username and password) with the
configured key vaults. This command is valid for the Thales nCipher (TEKA), HP
SKM, and the TKLM key vaults. This command must be run on each member
node.
primary | secondary
Specifies the key vault as primary or secondary.
For the TEKA, run this command on both a primary and a secondary key vault.
The system generates a username based on the switch WWN. The username
and group under which the username should be created on the key vault are
displayed when the command is executed. Configure the password on the switch
and create the same username on the key vault.
182 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg
2
For the SKM, run this command only for the primary key vault. The login
credential must match a valid username/password pair configured on the key
vault. The same username/password must be configured on all the nodes of
any given encryption group to prevent \ivity issues between the SKM and
the switch. However, there is no enforcement from the switch to ensure the
same username is configured on all nodes. Different encryption groups can
use different usernames so long as all nodes in the group have the same
username. Changing the username using -KAClogin renders the previously
created keys inaccessible. When changing the username you must do the same
on the key vault, and you must change the key owner for all keys of all LUNs
through the SKM GUI. For downgrade considerations, refer to the Fabric OS
Encryption Administrator's Guide.
--show Displays node configuration information. This command requires one of the
following mutually exclusive operands:
-localEE Displays encryption engine information local to the node.
-file -all Displays all imported certificates. The -all parameter is required with the --show
-file command.
--rebalance [slot]Rebalances the disk and tape containers to maximize throughput. Rebalancing is
recommended after containers have been added, removed, moved, failed over,
and failed back. This is a disruptive operation. You may have to restart backup
applications after rebalancing is complete. Optionally specify a slot number on
bladed systems.
--kvdiag -enable Enables the keyvault diagnostics. When enabled, this command checks
connectivity, configuration parameter retrieval, and readiness for key retrieval and
archival at specified intervals. You can configure the tests to run separately for
each encryption node. The actions of this command are diagnostic only; no
corrective measures are taken. Key vault connectivity errors are reported through
RASlog messages. Logs are stored in /etc/fabos/mace/kvdiag.log. The key vault
diagnostics is by default enabled.
--kvdiag -disable Disables the key vault diagnostics.
--kvdiag -show Displays the current configuration of the key vault diagnostics, including the
enabled status, configured time interval, and test types.
--kvdiag -interval interval
Specifies the time interval at which the test is repeated (in minutes). Valid values
are 1 through 2147483647. The default value is 5 minutes. This operand is valid
only if key vault diagnostics is enabled.
--kvdiag -type type Specifies the type of key vault test. Valid test types include the following:
connect Monitors key vault connectivity. Disconnect and reconnect events generate a
RASlog message.
config Retrieves configuration parameters from the key vault.

DESCRIPTION Use these cryptoCfg commands to create or delete an encryption group, to add or remove group
member nodes, key vaults, and authentication cards, to enable or disable system cards, to enable
quorum authentication and set the quorum size, to manage keys including key recovery from backup, to
configure group-wide policies, and to sync the encryption group databases.
An encryption group is a collection of encryption engines that share the same key vault and are managed
as a group. All EEs in a node are part of the same encryption group. An encryption group can include up
to four nodes, and each node can contain up to four encryption engines. The maximum number of EEs
per encryption group is sixteen (four per member node).
With the exception of the --help and --show commands, all group configuration functions must be
performed from the designated group leader. The encryption switch or blade on which you create the
encryption group becomes the designated group leader. The group leader distributes all relevant
configuration data to the member nodes in the encryption group.
The groupCfg commands include three display options that show group configuration, runtime status,
and group member information. Refer to the Appendix of the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide
for a more comprehensive explanation of system states.
Use the --show -groupcfg command to display encryption group and member configuration
parameters, including the following parameters:
•Encryption group name: user-defined label
•Encryption group policies:
-Failback mode: Auto or Manual
-Replication mode: Enabled or Disabled
-Heartbeat misses: numeric value
-Heartbeat timeout: value in seconds
-Key Vault Type: LKM, DPM, SKM, TEKA, KMIP, or TKLM
-System Card: Disabled or Enabled
•For each configured key vault, primary and secondary, the command shows:
-IP address: The key vault IP address
-Certificate ID: the key vault certificate name

-State: connected, disconnected, up, authentication failure, or unknown.
-Type: LKM, DPM, SKM, TEKA, or TKLM
If an SKM key vault is configured in HA mode, no connection information is displayed because
the system is unable to detect the connection status of an SKM appliance in an HA
configuration.
•Additional diagnostic key vault information to facilitate troubleshooting of connectivity "Additional
Primary Key Vault Information" and "Additional Secondary Key Vault Information" is displayed
separately. For the SKM and DPM there is just one section "Additional Key Vault/Cluster
Information"):
-Key Vault/CA Certificate Validity: Yes or No
-Port for Key Vault Connection: numeric identifier
-Time of Day on Key Server: time stamp or N/A
-Server SDK Version: revision number or N/A
•Diagnostic information for the encryption node (key vault client):
-Node KAC Certificate Validity: Yes (valid) or No (invalid)
-Time of Day on the Switch: time stamp
-Client SDK Version: SDK revision number
-Client Username: node login name for key vault
-Client Usergroup: user group
-Connection Timeout: time in seconds
-Response Timeout: time in seconds
-Connection Idle Timeout: time in seconds
-Status message indicating success/readiness for key operations or, if there is a problem,
displays a diagnostic message. For example, if the username on the switch has changed, but
the key owner is still the old username, key operations will not be permitted.
•Quorum information includes the following parameters:
-Authentication Quorum Size: 0 (disabled), 1- 5 (enabled).
-Authentication Cards: Certificate ID /label or "not configured".
•Node list display includes the following parameters:
-Total number of defined nodes: numeric value
-Group leader node name: Node WWN
-Encryption group state: CONVERGED = Encryption group formed successfully. CONVERGING

DEGRADED = Nodes lost connection with the group.
•For each node in the encryption group, the following information is displayed:
-Node name: the node WWN
-IP address: the node IP address
-Role: GroupLeader or MemberNode
Use the --show groupmember command to display encryption group member information for one or all
member nodes. Depending on the key vault configuration, the command displays master key information
(DPM) or link key information (LKM).
•Node List (displayed only with the --all option)
-Total number of defined nodes: numeric value
-Group leader node name: the node WWN
-Encryption group state: CONVERGED = Encryption group formed successfully. CONVERGING

information for all nodes in the encryption group. This command displays a superset of information
included in the -groupcfg, -groupmember and -hacluster show commands. Refer to these commands
for a description of display details.
NOTES All encryption engines in the encryption group must be interconnected through a dedicated local area
network (LAN), preferably on the same subnet and on the same VLAN using the GbE ports on the
encryption switch or blade. The two GbE ports of each member node (Eth0 and Eth1) should be
connected to the same IP Network, the same subnet, and the same VLAN. Configure the GbE ports (I/O
sync links) with an IP address for the eth0 Ethernet interface, and also configure a gateway for these I/O
sync links. Refer to the ipAddrSet help page for instructions on configuring the Ethernet interface.
These I/O sync link connections must be established before you enable the EEs for encryption. If these
configuration steps are not performed, you cannot create an HA cluster, perform a first-time encryption,
or initiate a rekeying session.
OPERANDS The cryptoCfg group configuration function has the following operands:
--help -groupcfg Displays the synopsis for the group configuration function. This command is valid
on all nodes.
--create -encgroup Creates an encryption group. The node on which this command is invoked
becomes the group leader. You must specify a name when creating an encryption
group. If stale encryption configurations exist on the node, this command displays
a warning and prompts for confirmations to delete the configurations before
creating the encryption group. A "no" response aborts the operation.
encryption_group_name
Specifies the name of the encryption group to be created. The name can be up to
15 characters long and include alphanumeric characters and underscores. White
space, hyphens, and other special characters are not permitted.

--delete -encgroup Deletes an encryption group with the specified name. This command is valid only
on the group leader. This command fails if the encryption group has more than
one node, or if any HA cluster configurations, CryptoTarget container/LUN
configurations, or tape pool configurations exist in the encryption group. Remove
excess member nodes and clear all HA cluster, CryptoTarget container/LUN, or
tape pool configurations before deleting an encryption group.
encryption_group_name
Specifies the name of the encryption group to be deleted. This operand is required
when deleting an encryption group.
--reg -keyvault Registers the specified key vault (primary or secondary) with the encryption
engines of all nodes present in an encryption group. Upon successful registration,
a connection to the key vault is automatically established. This command is valid
only on the group leader. Registered certificates are distributed from the group
leader to all member nodes in the encryption group. Each node in the encryption
group distributes the certificates to their respective encryption engines.
The following operands are required when registering a key vault:
cert_label Specifies the key vault certificate label. This is a user-generated name for the
specified key vault. Use the cryptocfg --show -groupcfg command to view the
key vault label after registration is complete.
certfile Specifies the certificate file. This file must be imported prior to registering the key
vault and reside in the predetermined directory where certificates are stored. In
the case of the HP SKM, this operand specifies CA file, which is the certificate of
the signing authority on the SKM. Use the --show -file -all command for a listing
of imported certificates.
hostname | ip_address
Specifies the key vault by providing either a host name or IP address. If you are
registering a key vault that is part of an DPM cluster, the value for ip_address is
the virtual IP address for the DPM cluster and not the address of the actual key
vault.
primary | secondary
Specifies the key vault as either primary or secondary. The secondary key vault
serves as backup.
--dereg -keyvault Removes the registration for a specified key vault. The key vault is identified by
specifying the certificate label. Removing a key vault registration disconnects the
key vault. This command is valid only on the group leader.
cert_label Specifies the key vault certificate label. This operand is required when removing
the registration for a key vault.
--reg -KACcert Registers the signed node certificate. After being exported and signed by the
external signing authority, the signed node certificate must be imported back into
the node and registered for a successful two-way certificate exchange with the
key vault. This command is valid only on the group leader.
Registration functions need to be invoked on all the nodes in a DEK cluster for
their respective signed node certificates. The following operands are required:
signed_certfile Specifies the name of the signed node certificate to be reimported.
Fabric OS Command Reference 191
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg 2
primary | secondary
Specifies the signing key vault as primary or secondary. This operand is valid only
with the TEKA, SKM, or KMIP key vault, which requires the CSR to be signed by
the primary or secondary vault. If both primary and secondary vaults are
configured, this command must be run once for the primary and once for
secondary key vault from every node.
--set -keyvault Sets the key vault type. This command is valid only on the group leader.
value Specifies the key vault type. The default is set to no value. This operand is
required. Valid values for -keyvault include the following parameters:
LKM Specifies the NetApp LKM appliance (trusted key vault).
DPM Specifies the Data protection Manager key repository.
SKM Specifies one of the following: the HP Secure Key Manager (SKM) or the HP
Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM). Both are opaque key repositories.
TEKA Specifies the Thales e-Security keyAuthority (TEKA) key repository.
TKLM Specifies the Tivoli Key Lifetime Manager (TKLM) key repository
KMIP Specifies the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) key
repository.
--set -kvparam Sets the key vault configuration parameters. These parameters must be
configured after setting the key vault type to KMIP, and before the key vault is
registered on the Brocade Encryption Switch.
ha transparent | opaque | disable
Sets the HA mode for key archival.
login disable | enableU |enableP
Sets the user name and password authentication after TLS connection to a client
device is requested. If you specify "enableU", only a user name is required to
identify the client device. If you specify "enableP", both a user name and a
password are required to identify the client device.
cert self | ca Specifies the certificate type to use for TLS connection.
loglevel warning | info | io | debug | trace
Changes the default logging level.
--show -kvparam Displays all the configured KMIP key vault parameters.
--set -failbackmode Sets the failback mode parameter. This parameter is set on the group leader. Valid
values for failback mode include the following parameters:
auto Enables automatic failback. In this mode, failback occurs automatically within an
HA cluster when an encryption switch or blade that failed earlier has been
restored or replaced. Automatic failback mode is enabled by default.
192 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg

manual Enables manual failback. In this mode, failback must be initiated manually after an
encryption switch or blade that failed earlier has been restored or replaced.
--set -hbmisses Sets the number of heartbeat misses allowed in a node that is part of an
encryption group before the node is declared unreachable. This value is set in
conjunction with the time-out value. It must be configured at the group leader node
and is distributed to all member nodes in the encryption group. The following
operand is required:
value Specifies the number of heartbeat misses. The default value is 3. The range is 1
to 15 in integer increments only.
--set -hbtimeout Sets the time-out value for the heartbeat. This parameter must be configured at
the group leader node and is distributed to all member nodes in the encryption
group. The following operand is required:
value Specifies the heartbeat time-out in seconds. The default value is 2 seconds. Valid
values are integers in the range between 1 and 30 seconds.
--set -quorumsize Sets the quorum size used to authenticate functions that require a quorum of
authentication cards. The default value is zero. You can set the quorum size only if
the current value is zero. Note that this value is different from the recovery set size
that specifies the number of recovery shares used to perform Master Key
recovery. When quorum authentication is enabled (Quorum Size is > 0), this
operation requires authentication of a quorum of authentication cards.
value Specifies the quorum size. Valid values are 0 (quorum authentication is disabled)
and 1 through 5 (quorum authentication is enabled). This operand is required.
--set -systemcard> enable | disable
Enables or disables the system card usage policy. When the policy is enabled, a
system card is required to be inserted in an encryption engine to enable
encryption after a power-cycle event. When quorum authentication is enabled
(Quorum Size is > 0), this operation requires authentication of a quorum of
authentication cards. The policy is disabled by default. This command must be
executed on the group leader.
--set -replication enable | disable
Enables or disables replication-specific features. You must enable replication
before you can use replication-specific features such as the -newLUN,
-include_mirror, or the --refreshDEK command. Replication is disabled by
default; it must be enabled on the group leader. This command is supported only
for the DPM key vault.
--add -membernode Adds the specified member node to the existing encryption group. The member
node is specified by its node WWN. This command is valid only on the group
leader. Initial setup on the node must be performed prior to adding the node to an
encryption group.
Fabric OS Command Reference 193
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg 2
This command is required only when a node that was earlier part of encryption
group (online and DISCOVERED) was ejected or left the encryption group and is
now added back to that encryption group. A member node that is online during
registration is added automatically to the encryption group. The following operand
is required:
node_WWN Specifies the WWN of the node to be added back to the encryption group.
--eject -membernode Removes a member node from the existing encryption group. The node is
specified by its node WWN. This command is valid only on the group leader. The
node must be online (in DISCOVERED state) for this command to succeed. To
remove a node that is not online (in DISCOVERING State), use the --dereg
-membernode command. You must remove the EEs from the HA cluster and
delete any Crypto Target container/LUN configurations from this node before
ejecting the node or the command fails. The following operand is required when
ejecting a member node:
node_WWN Specifies the node WWN of the node to be removed from the encryption group.
--leave_encryption_group
Clears the node's states pertaining to the node's membership in the encryption
group. This command is invoked from the member node that is to be ejected from
the encryption group.
If there are CryptoTarget container/LUN configurations on the node and the
encryption engines of this node are part of any HA Cluster configuration, this
command prompts you to either continue leaving the encryption group while
retaining the configuration, or to abort the leave operation. It is recommended that
you remove the EEs from the HA cluster and delete any CryptoTarget container
and Crypto LUN configurations from this node prior to initiating a leave operation.
--genmasterkey Generates a master key. A master key is needed when an opaque key vault such
as DPM is used. The master key must be exported (backed up) before it may be
used. This command is valid only on the group leader. Only one master key per
key vault is needed for the entire encryption group. When a master key is
generated and a master key exists, the current master key becomes the alternate
master Key and the newly generated master key becomes the current master key.
--exportmasterkey Exports the current master key encrypted in a key generated from a specified
pass phrase. By default this command backs up the key to the attached key
vaults, or optionally to a predetermined file on the switch. This command is valid
only on the group leader. This command prompts for a pass phrase.
passphrase Specifies the pass phrase for the master key encryption. A pass phrase must be
between 8 and 40 characters in length and can contain any character
combination. Make a note of the pass phrase, because the same pass phrase is
required to restore the master key from backup. This operand is required.
-file Stores the encrypted master key in a predetermined file on the switch. This
operand is optional. If the -file operand is not specified, the encrypted master key
is stored in the attached key vaults, using a unique associate Key ID for tracking
the export. Upon execution, this command displays both the associated Key ID
and the master key ID. You can export the master key to the key vault more than

once. Each time you export the same master key, the associate key ID is
incremented, and both the master key ID and the associate key are displayed.
Make a note of the key ID, because you will need same key ID is to restore the
master key from backup.
--recovermasterkey Restores the master key from backup. This command is valid only on the group
leader. This command prompts for a pass phrase:
passphrase Specifies the pass phrase for recovering the master key. The pass phrase must be
the same that was used to back up the master key with the --exportmasterkey
command.
currentMK | alternateMK
Specifies whether the master key should be restored to the current position or the
alternate position. This command replaces the specified existing master key and
should be exercised with caution. A master key is typically restored to the
alternate position to enable decryption of older data encryption keys (DEKs) that
were encrypted in that master key.
-keyID keyID Specifies the associative master key ID. This option restores the master key from
the key vault. The associative master key ID was returned when it was backed up
to the key vault with the --exportmasterkey command. The -keyID and the
-srcfile options are mutually exclusive.
-srcfile filename Specifies the file name when restoring the master key from a file in the
predetermined directory on the switch. Use this operand when the master key was
backed up to a file rather than to a key vault. The -keyID and the -srcfile
operands are mutually exclusive.
--show -mkexported_keyids key_id
Displays all exported key IDs used to store a particular master key on keyvault.
The key ID must be in the format displayed in the output of the cryptocfg --show
-localEE command. This command is valid on any node connected to the key
vault.
--show -groupcfg Displays the group-wide encryption policy configuration. This command is valid on
all member nodes and on the group leader.
--show -groupmember
Displays detailed information for all encryption group members or for a single
member. This command is valid on all member nodes and on the group leader.
The following required operands are mutually exclusive:
-all Displays information on all nodes in the existing encryption group.
node_WWN Displays information on a single specified node. The node is identified by its node
WWN.
--show -egstatus Displays encryption group configuration or status information for all nodes in the
encryption group. The following operands are exclusive:
-cfg Displays encryption group configuration information.
-stat Displays encryption group status information.

--sync -encgroup Manually synchronizes the encryption group database belonging to the group
leader node with the databases of all member nodes that are out of sync. If this
command is invoked when the encryption group databases are in sync, the
command is ignored.
Note: When the encryption group is out of sync and the group leader reboots, the
newly selected group leader pushes its database information to all other
members. The new group leader's database information may be different from
what was set up before the group leader was rebooted.
--sync -securitydb Distributes the security database from the group leader node to all member
nodes. This operation can resolve problems with master key propagation. The
synchronization occurs every time this command is executed regardless of
whether or not the security database was in sync across all nodes in the
encryption group. This command is valid only on the group leader.
--perfshow Displays the encryption performance.
slot Displays the encryption performance for specified slot.
-tx Displays the transmitter throughput.
-rx Displays receiver throughput.
-tx -rx Displays transmitter and receiver throughput.
-t interval Specifies the time interval,in seconds, between refreshes.

DESCRIPTION Use these cryptoCfg commands to configure and manage High Availability (HA) clusters.
An HA cluster consists of two encryption engines configured to host the CryptoTargets and to provide the
active/standby failover and failback capabilities in a pair-wise relationship in a single fabric. The
encryption engines that are part of an HA cluster must belong to the same encryption group and be part
of the same fabric.
Failure to ensure that HA cluster members are part of the same encryption group dissolves the HA
cluster and the encryption engines lose their failover capability.
The HA cluster configuration must be performed on the group leader. Configuration changes must be
committed before they take effect. Use the cryptocfg --commit command to commit a new configuration
or a configuration change. Refer to section "5. Transaction management" for more information. Any
operation related to an HA cluster performed without a commit operation will not survive across switch
reboots, power cycles, CP failover, or HA reboots.
The command group includes a show option, --show -hacluster. When invoked on a member node, this
command displays the committed HA cluster configuration. When invoked on the group leader, both
defined and committed configuration data is displayed including the following parameters:
•Encryption group name: A user-defined name
•Number of HA clusters in the existing encryption group: numeric value
•For each HA cluster:

OPERANDS The cryptoCfg HA cluster configuration function has the following operands:
--help -hacluster Displays the synopsis for the HA cluster configuration function. This command is
valid on all nodes.
--create -hacluster Defines an HA cluster with a specified name and optionally associates up to two
encryption engines with the HA cluster. This command is valid only on the group
leader. The EEs must be members of the same encryption group as the group
leader on which this command is issued. This command fails if the member
nodes' IP addresses for the GbE ports (I/O sync ports) are not configured. The
encryption engines must belong to different switches or chassis. This rule is
enforced by the CLI to ensure redundancy.
The following operands are supported:
HA_cluster_nameSpecifies the name for the HA cluster. The name can be up to 31 characters long
and can include alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. White
space and other special characters are not permitted. This operand is required.
node_WWN Specifies the WWN of the switch or chassis to which the encryption engine
belongs. This operand is optional; if omitted, only the HA cluster name is defined.
You may add EEs separately with the --add -haclustermember command.
slot Specifies the encryption engine slot number on bladed systems.
--delete -hacluster Deletes the HA cluster with the specified name. This command is valid only on the
group leader. The following operand is required:
HA_cluster_nameSpecifies the name of the HA cluster to be deleted.
--delete --stale_dek Removes stale DEK entries belong to this EE. When BES/FS-18 is replaced with
another node in EG, leaves stale DEK entries that belong to replaced node in EG.
These stale entries should be removed from each node, otherwise DEK updates
on BP takes longer time as purging of these stale DEK entries happens. This
command needs to be run before replace command if stale DEK entries are seen.
It prints the number of EE entries on which stale DEK entries are present.
node_WWN Specifies the node WWN of the switch or chassis on which the DEK entries are to
be removed.
slot Specifies the encryption engine slot number on bladed systems.

--add -haclustermember
Adds one or more encryption engine members to an already configured HA. A
maximum of two HA cluster members is currently supported. The EEs must be
part of the same encryption group as the node on which this command is issued.
This command is valid only on the group leader. The encryption engines must
belong to different switches or chassis. This rule is enforced by the CLI to ensure
redundancy.
The following operands are required with the --add command:
node_WWN Specifies the node WWN of the switch or chassis to which the encryption engine
belongs.
slot Specifies the encryption engine slot number on bladed systems.
--remove -haclustermember
Removes one or both encryption engine members from an already configured HA
cluster. This command is valid only on the group leader. This command only
removes the failover/failback capability for the removed EEs; it does not affect the
relationship between configured CryptoTarget containers and the encryption
engine that is removed from the HA cluster. The containers still belong to this
encryption engine and encryption operations continue.
The following operands are required with the --remove command:
node_WWN Specifies the WWN of the switch or chassis to which the encryption engine
belongs.
slot Specifies the encryption engine slot number on bladed systems.
--replace -haclustermember
Replaces an encryption engine, either failed or alive, with an alternate encryption
engine. All target associations for the current encryption engine are transferred
over to the alternate encryption engine when this command is executed. The
alternate encryption engine does not have to be part of the current HA cluster.
Upon successful replacement, the alternate encryption engine automatically
becomes part of the configured HA cluster and disrupted peer relationships are
repaired. This command is only valid on the group leader.
The following operands are supported with the --replace command:
HA_cluster_nameSpecifies the HA cluster member to be replaced. The HA cluster name must be
specified when this operand is used. This operand is optional. It is not needed if
the encryption engine to be replaced is not part of an HA cluster.
current_node_WWN [slot
Specifies the WWN of the encryption engine to be replaced. This operand is
required. On bladed systems, include the encryption engine slot number.
new_node_WWN [slot]
Specifies the WWN of the encryption engine that is to replace the current
encryption engine. This operand is required. On bladed systems, include the
encryption engine's slot number.

DESCRIPTION Use these cryptoCfg commands to configure and manage tape or disk devices that store the encrypted
and compressed data.
A CryptoTarget container (CTC) is a configuration of "virtual devices" that is created for each target port
hosted on a Brocade Encryption Switch or FS8-18 blade. The container holds the configuration
information for a single target, including associated hosts and LUN settings. A CryptoTarget container
interfaces between the encryption engine, the external storage devices (targets), and the initiators
(hosts) that can access the storage devices through the target ports.
Virtual devices redirect the traffic between host and target/LUN to encryption engines so they can
perform cryptographic operations. To enable frame redirection, you must create a target-initiator zone
prior to performing any CryptoTarget container configuration.
The CryptoTarget container (CTC) and associated Crypto LUN configuration is always configured from
the group leader node, and the configuration is subsequentlyn propagated to all members in the
encryption group.
Fabric OS Command Reference 207
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg 2
CTC configuration uses a transaction model. Configuration changes must be committed before they take
effect. Use the cryptocfg --commit command to commit the transaction. Refer to section "5. Transaction
management" for more information.
This command set supports the following tasks:
•Configure and manage CryptoTarget containers (CTCs). Create, move, or delete a CTC, add or
remove initiators (hosts permitted to access the targets), or manually initiate a failback of an
encryption engine.
•Configure and manage logical unit numbers (LUNs) for disk and tape storage devices: add a LUN to
a CTC, set or modify LUN encryption policy parameters, or remove a LUN from a CTC. Perform LUN
discovery.
•Configure and manage tape pools: create a tape pool, set or modify tape pool encryption policies, or
delete a tape pool. Perform LUN discovery.
•Manage rekey operations for primary and mirror LUNS.
•Reallocate or change the world wide name (WWN) of virtual entities that have been moved or
removed from an encryption group. This operation is indicated when you want to eject a Brocade
Encryption Switch from an encryption group as a result of a move operation or a split EG, or if you
intend to remove an FS8-18 Encryption blade from an encryption group.
In addition, this command set includes the following display commands. Output may vary depending on
your configuration. Refer to the Appendix of the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide for a more
comprehensive explanation of system states.
Use the --show -container -all -stat command for runtime status information on all CryptoTarget
containers in the encryption group. The display includes the following information:

NOTES Encryption groups and HA clusters must be configured before performing any CryptoTarget container
and Crypto LUN configurations.
When adding a LUN to a CryptoTarget container, special attention should be paid to the input format. A
LUN number can be entered either as a 16-bit (2 bytes) number in hex notation (for example, 0x07) or as
a 64-bit (8 bytes) number in WWN format (for example, 00:07:00:00:00:00:00:00). Although the
command does accept decimal input, it is not recommended. The conversion function used to parse the
LUN number converts a decimal number beginning with 0 to an octal, which results in a conversion error.
For example, 035 is interpreted as 29 (decimal), or 0x1D hex, or 00:1D:00:00:00:00:00:00. To ensure
correct conversion to decimal notation, use the recommended Hex formats or make sure to remove
preceding zeros from decimal input.
OPERANDS The cryptoCfg storage device configuration and management function has the following operands:
--help -devicecfg Displays the synopsis for the storage device configuration and management
function. This command is valid on all nodes.
--create -container Creates a CryptoTarget container (CTC) for a disk or a tape storage device. The
target device port WWN must be specified and one or more initiator port WWNs
(PWWNs) may optionally be specified. Additional initiator PWWNs may be added
after the CryptoTarget container is created.
Upon commit of a CTC configuration, one virtual target (VT) is created, and for
each initiator that has the access to the target port, one virtual initiator (VI) is
created. These virtual devices are created by logging into the fabric and
registering with the Name Server. Initiator and target must be zoned for NS-based
frame redirection to take effect. Use the nsShow command to verify the creation
of the virtual devices. Use the cfgShow command to view the redirection zone.
This command is valid only on the group leader. The following operands are
supported:
disk | tape Specifies the type of the CTC as a disk array or tape storage container depending
on the target device. These operands are mutually exclusive.
crypto_target_container_name
Specifies the CTC name for the storage device. The CTC name can be up to 31
characters long and include any alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and
underscores. White space and other special characters are not permitted. This
operand is required.
EE_node_WWN [EE_slot
Specifies the WWN of the node to which the encryption engine belongs and on
which encryption engine this particular CTC is hosted. This operand is required.
On bladed systems, include the slot number.
target_PWWN Specifies the target port WWN of the device port hosted on the encryption engine.
This operand is required.
target_NWWN Specifies the target node WWN. This operand is required.
-initiator Specifies one or more initiators. Specifying initiators within a CTC does not mean
that these initiators have access to the Crypto LUN. The initiator PWWNs still
need to be specified when the LUN is added to the CTC to which these initiators
should gain access. The initiators added to the CTC are used only for discovering
the LUNs of the target as exposed to these initiators.
214 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg
2
This operand is optional. You may add initiators at the time when the CTC is
created or any time thereafter with the --add -initiator command. The following
operands are required when specifying an initiator:
initiator_PWWN Specifies the initiator port WWN.
initiator_NWWN Specifies the initiator node WWN.
--delete -container Deletes a specified CTC. This command removes the virtual target and
associated LUNs from the fabric. Before issuing this command, you must stop all
traffic to the target port for which the CTC is being deleted. Failure to do so results
in I/O failure between the initiators and that target Port.
This command is valid only on the group leader. The following operand is required
when deleting a CTC:
crypto_target_container_name
Specifies the name of the CTC to be deleted. Use the cryptocfg --show
-container command for a listing of valid CTC names.
--failback -EE Performs a manual failback of all CTCs that were failed over earlier to another
encryption engine within an HA cluster to a "new" specified encryption engine.
This command generates an error if the specified current encryption engine and
new encryption engine are not members of the same HA cluster or if the current
encryption engine or the new encryption engine are offline.
This command is valid only on the group leader. The following operands are
required:
current_node_WWN [current_slot]
Specifies the node WWN of the current encryption engine to which failover
occurred earlier, and which is now performing all encryption tasks. On bladed
systems, specify the slot number of the current encryption engine.
new_node_WWN [new_slot]
Specifies the node WWN of the encryption engine to which failback of all CTCs
should occur. On bladed systems, specify the slot number of the new encryption
engine.
--move -container Moves the specified CTC from its currently configured encryption engine to
another encryption engine. This command is valid only on the group leader. The
EEs must be part of the same encryption group for this operation to succeed, but
they do not need to be part of the same HA cluster. This operation permanently
changes the encryption engine association of a single CTC from an existing
encryption engine to another encryption engine. To move all CTCs hosted on an
encryption engine permanently to another encryption engine, use the cryptocfg
--replace command.
This command is valid only on the group leader. The following operands are
required when moving a CTC:
crypto_target_container_name
Specifies the name of the CTC to be moved.
new_node_WWN [new_slot]
Specifies the encryption engine to which the CTC should be moved. On bladed
systems, specify the encryption engine's slot number.

--add -initiator Adds one or more initiators to an existing CTC. An initiator that is added to a CTC
facilitates discovering the LUNs of the target as exposed to these initiators. You
must still add the initiators when you add the LUN to the CTC to enable access for
these initiators.
This command is valid only on the group leader. The following operands are
required when adding an initiator to a CTC:
crypto_target_container_name
Specifies the name of the CTC to which the initiators should be added.
initiator_PWWN Specifies the initiator port WWN.
initiator_NWWN Specifies the initiator node WWN.
--remove -initiator Removes an initiator from the specified CTC. This command is valid only on the
group leader. The following operands are required when removing anm initiator:
crypto_target_container_name
Specifies the name of the CTC from which the initiator is to be removed.
initiator_PWWN Specifies the initiator port WWN.
--add -LUN Adds a LUN to a CTC and optionally sets encryption policies for the LUN. The
maximum number of Tape LUNs that can be added to an Initiator in a container is
8. LUN policies may be set at this time or after the LUN is added. The maximum
number of LUNs you can add in one commit operation is 25. There is a delay of
five seconds for each commit operation.
This command is valid only on the group leader. The following operands are
supported:
crypto_target_container_name
Specifies the name of the CTC to which the LUN is added. This operand is
required.
LUN_Num | LUN_Num_Range
Specifies the LUN number or a range of LUN numbers. These operands are
mutually exclusive. The LUN number can be either a 16-bit (2 bytes) number in
hex notation (for example, 0x07) or a 64-bit (8 bytes) number in WWN format (for
example, 00:07:00:00:00:00:00:00). When specifying a range, the LUN numbers
must be 16-bit numbers in hex format. The Range parameter is not supported for
64-bit LUN numbers.
The LUN number must be zero when a tape LUN is specified and the tape drive is
a single LUN device.
initiator_PWWN initiator_NWWN
Optionally specifies one or more hosts (initiators) that will be permitted to access
the LUN. For each initiator added, the port WWN and the node WWN must be
specified. You may add more than one initiator.
Encryption policy parameters: The following encryption policy configuration
parameters can be optionally set for disk and tape devices when adding a LUN to
a CTC, or they can be set at a later time with the --modify -LUN command.
The tape policies specified at the LUN level take effect if you do not create tape
pools or configure policies at the tape pool level.

LUN policies are configured per HA or DEK cluster. For multi-path LUNs exposed
through multiple target ports and thus configured on multiple CTCs on different
EEs in an HA cluster or DEK cluster, the same LUN policies must be configured.
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for more information.
The following LUN policy parameters can be optionally set:
-lunstate encrypted | cleartext
Sets the encryption state of a specified disk LUN. When set to encrypted,
metadata on the LUN containing the key ID of the DEK that was used for
encrypting the LUN is used to retrieve the DEK from the key vault. If the LUN state
is not specified, the default state is cleartext. This operand is not valid for tape
LUNs.
-keyID keyID Specifies the Key ID. Use this operand only if the LUN was encrypted but does not
include the metadata containing the keyID for the LUN. This is a rare case for
LUNS encrypted in Brocade native mode. However for LUNS encrypted with
DataFort v2.0, a Key ID is required, because these LUNs do not contain any
metadata. This operand is not valid for tape LUNs.
-encryption_format native | DF_compatible
Specifies the LUN encryption format. Two encryption formats are supported:
native The LUN uses the Brocade metadata format and algorithm for the encryption
and decryption of data. This is the default mode.
DF_compatible The LUN uses the NetApp DataFort metadata format and algorithm for the
encryption and decryption of data. Use of this format requires a NetApp
DataFort-compatible license to be present on the encryption switch or the
chassis that houses the encryption blade.
-encrypt | -cleartext
Enables or disables the LUN for encryption. By default, cleartext is enabled (no
encryption). When the LUN policy is changed from encrypt to cleartext, the
following policy parameters become disabled (default) and generate errors when
executed: -enable_encexistingdata, -enable_rekey, and -key_lifespan. When
a LUN is added in DF-compatible encryption format, -cleartext is rejected as
invalid.
-enable_encexistingdata | -disable_encexistingdata
Specifies whether or not existing data should be encrypted. The Encryption policy
must be enabled on the LUN before the -enable_encexistingdata parameter can
be set and the LUN state must be set to -cleartext. By default, encryption of
existing data is disabled. If LUN policy is set to -encrypt, the encryption of existing
data must be enabled, or existing data is not preserved. This policy is not valid for
tape LUNs.
-enable_rekey time_period | -disable_rekey
Enables or disables the auto rekeying capability on the specified disk LUN. This
operand is not valid for tape LUNs. By default, the automatic rekey feature is
disabled. Enabling automatic rekeying is valid only if the LUN policy is set to
encrypt. You must specify a time_period in days when enabling auto rekeying to
indicate the interval at which automatic rekeying should take place.
-key_lifespan time_in_days | none
Specifies the lifespan of the encryption key in days. The key will expire after the
specified number of days. Accepted values are integers from 1 to 2982616. The
default value is none, which means, the key does not expire. This operand is valid
only for tape LUNs. The key lifespan cannot be modified after it is set.
Fabric OS Command Reference 217
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg 2
-newLUN Indicates that the LUN created does not contain any user data and will be part of a
replication configuration. This operand is optional. The presence of this operand is
incompatible with the -keyID, -key_lifespan, and -enable_rekey options. An RSA
DPM must be configured and replication must be enabled (cryptocfg --set
replication enabled) before invoking this command. Both primary and remote
mirror LUNs must be added to their container with the -newLUN option.
-write_early_ack disable | enable
Specifies the Tape Write pipelining mode of the LUN. This option enables or
disables early acknowledgement of commands (internal buffering) for a tape LUN.
This feature is enabled by default.
-read_ahead disable | enable
Specifies the Tape Read Ahead mode of the LUN. When Tape Read Ahead is
disabled, the tape LUN operates in unbuffered mode. When Tape Read ahead is
disabled, the tape LUN operates in buffered mode. This feature is enabled by
default.
--modify -LUN Modifies the encryption policies of one or more LUNs in a specified CTC. This
command is valid only on the group leader. The following operands are required
when modifying a LUN:
crypto_target_container_name
Specifies the name of the CTC to which the LUNs belong.
LUN_Num | rangeSpecifies the LUN number either as a 16-bit (2 bytes) number in hex notation (for
example, 0x07) or as a 64-bit (8 bytes) number in WWN format (for example,
0:07:00:00:00:00:00:00). The LUN number must be zero when a tape LUN is
specified and the tape drive is a single LUN device. When specifying a range, the
LUN numbers must be entered in the 16-bit hex format.
initiator_PWWN initiator_NWWN
Specifies the initiator by its port WWN and node WWN.
You may optionally modify the following LUN policy configuration parameters.
Refer to cryptocfg --add -LUN for descriptions of these parameters.
•[-encryption_format native | DF_compatible]
•[-encrypt | cleartext]
•[-enable_encexistingdata | -disable_encexistingdata]
•[-enablerekey time_period | -disable_rekey]
•[-write_early_ack disable | enable]
•[-read_ahead disable | enable]
Make sure you understand the ramifications of modifying LUN parameters (such
as changing the LUN policy from encrypt to cleartext) for devices that are online
and are already being utilized. The following restrictions apply when modifying
LUN policy parameters:
•When you change LUN policy from encrypt to cleartext the following policy
parameters are restored to default (disabled): -enable_encexistingdata,
-enable_rekey, and -key_lifespan.
•When changing the LUN policy back to encrypt, these parameters need to be
reconfigured. Attempting to reconfigure these parameters while the LUN
policy is set to cleartext is not permitted and generates an error.
•For tape LUNs the -enable_encexistingdata and the -enable_rekey
operands are not valid and return an error when executed.

•The -key_lifespan parameter cannot be modified for tape LUNs once it has
been set.
•Exercise caution when modifying policy parameters while tape sessions are
in progress. For information on the impact of encryption policy changes while
tape sessions are in progress, refer to the Fabric OS Encryption
Administrator's Guide.
--remove -LUN Removes a LUN from a specified CTC. You must stop all traffic to the LUN from all
initiators accessing the LUN you are removing from the CTC. Failure to do so
results in I/O failure between the initiators and the LUN. If the LUN is exposed with
different LUN Numbers to different initiators, all exposed LUN Numbers must be
removed. This command is valid only on the group leader. The following operands
are required when removing a LUN from a CTC:
crypto_target_container_name
Specifies the name of the CTC from which the LUN is to be removed.
LUN_Num Specifies the number of the LUN to be removed. Use the --show -container
command for a list of LUN numbers associated with the specified CTC.
initiator_PWWN Specifies the initiator port WWN for the LUN to be removed.
--enable -LUN Forces the LUN to become enabled for encryption from a disabled state. This
command must be executed on the local switch that is hosting the LUN. No
commit is required after executing this command. This command proceeds with a
warning and prompts for confirmation.
A LUN may become disabled for various reasons, such as a change in policy from
encrypted to cleartext, a conflict between LUN policy and LUN, or a missing DEK
in the key vault. Force-enabling a LUN while metadata exist on the LUN may
result in a loss of data and should be exercised with caution. Refer to the Fabric
OS Encryption Administrator's Guide for a description of conditions under which a
LUN may be disabled and recommendations for re-enabling the LUN while
minimizing the risk of data loss.
The following operands are required when force-enabling a LUN:
crypto_target_container_name
Specifies the name of the CTC to which this LUN belongs.
LUN_Num Specifies the number of the LUN to be enabled. Use the --show -container
command for a list of LUN numbers associated with the specified CTC.
initiator_PWWN Specifies the initiator port WWN for the specified LUN.
--create -tapepool Creates a tape pool. A tape pool consists of a group of tape media that share the
same encryption policies and data encryption keys (DEKs).
A maximum of 4096 tape pools per encryption group are supported. You may add
up to a maximum of 25 tape pools per commit operation. There is a delay of five
seconds delay at each commit operation.
Policy configuration at the tape pool level is optional; if left unspecified LUN-level
tape policy parameters apply.
Fabric OS Command Reference 219
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg 2
This command is valid only on the group leader. The following operands are
supported:
-label pool_label | -num pool_num
Specifies the tape pool volume label or alternately the tape pool ID. This is a
user-defined identifier, which must be unique within the encryption group and
should match the tape pool label or ID that is configured on the tape backup
application. The tape pool label can consist of any combination of characters.
When using white space, you must enclose the tape pool label in double quotation
marks. The maximum size is 64 bytes. This operand is required.
-encryption_format
Optionally specifies the tape encryption format. Two encryption formats are
supported for tape pools:
native Data is encrypted or decrypted using the Brocade native encryption format
(metadata format and algorithm). This is the default setting.
DF_compatible Data is encrypted or decrypted using the NetApp DataFort encryption format
(metadata format and algorithm). Use of this format requires a NetApp
DataFort-compatible license on the encryption switch or on the chassis that
houses the encryption blade.
-encrypt | -cleartext
Enables encryption or cleartext (no encryption). By default, cleartext is enabled.
-key_lifespan time_in_days | none
Specifies the lifespan of the encryption key in days. The key expires after the
specified number of days. The default value is none, which means the key does
not expire until the value is set. This parameter cannot be modified for tape pools
once it is set.
--delete -tapepool Deletes the specified tape pool. This command is valid only on the group leader.
The following operand is required:
-label pool_label | -num pool_num
Specifies the tape pool by volume label or tape pool ID. Use the --show -tapepool
command for a listing of configured tape pools and their respective labels or IDs.
--modify -tapepool Modifies the encryption policies of a specified tape pool. This command is valid
only on the group leader. The following operand is required:
-label pool_label | -num pool_num
Specifies the tape pool by volume label or tape pool ID. Use the --show -tapepool
command for a listing of configured tape pools and their respective labels or IDs.
To modify the label or pool number, you must delete and recreate the tape pool.
You may optionally modify the following tape policy parameters.
•[-encryption_format native | DF_compatible]
•[-encrypt | cleartext]
Refer to cryptocfg --create -tapepool for descriptions of these parameters.
Exercise caution when modifying tape pool policy parameters while tape sessions

FUNCTION 5. Transaction management
SYNOPSIS cryptocfg --help transcfg
cryptocfg --commit [-force]
cryptocfg --transabort transaction_ID
cryptocfg --transshow
DESCRIPTION Use these cryptoCfg commands to manage the transaction mechanism for those functions that require
configuration changes to be committed before they take effect. These functions include "3. High
Availability (HA) cluster configuration" and "4. Storage device configuration and management"
Transaction commands must be invoked on the group leader.
Fabric OS Command Reference 231
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg 2
OPERANDS The cryptoCfg transaction management function has the following operands:
--help transcfg Displays the synopsis for the transaction management function.
--commit Commits the transaction. This command saves the defined configuration to
nonvolatile storage. Changes are persistent across reboots and power cycles.
This command overwrites existing configuration parameters and therefore
prompts for confirmation. This command is permitted only when the encryption
group is in a converged state.
The following operand is optional:
-force Commits the transaction without confirmation.
--transabort transaction_ID
Aborts a pending database transaction for any device configurations invoked
earlier through the CLI or DCFM interfaces. The following operand is required:
transaction_ID Specifies the ID of the transaction to be aborted. Use the --transshow command
to determine the currently pending transaction ID.
--transshow Displays the pending database transaction for any device configurations invoked
earlier through the CLI or DCFM interfaces. The command displays the
transaction status (completed or pending), the transaction ID, and the transaction
owner (CLI or DCFM)
FUNCTION 6. Device decommissioning
SYNOPSIS cryptocfg --help -decommission
cryptocfg --decommission -container container_name
-initiator initiatator _PWWN -LUN LUN_num
cryptocfg --delete -decommissionedkeyids
cryptocfg --show -decommissionedkeyids
cryptocfg --show -vendorspecifickeyid key_ID
DESCRIPTION Use these cryptoCfg commands to decommission a disk LUN in the event that the storage device is to
be reprovisioned, retired, or returned to the vendor. The decommission function renders all data on the
disk media inaccessible before decommissioning the device.
Device decommissioning deletes or renders invalid all important information including keys stored in the
key vault, on the chip, and from the various internal caches, and it erases the metadata on the media to
ensure that the data on the decommissioned device is irrecoverable.
The following restrictions apply to device decommissioning:
•Devices not encrypted on the Brocade Encryption platform or devices in cleartext cannot be
decommissioned with this command.
•All nodes in the encryption group must run Fabric OS v6.4.0 or later.
•All nodes in the encryption group must run Fabric OS v7.1.0 or later when keyvault type is not set to
DPM or LKM.
232 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
cryptoCfg
2
•All nodes in the encryption group must run Fabric OS v6.4.0 or later when keyvault type is set to
DPM or LKM.
•Device decommissioning does not work across a reboot. Rebooting terminates an ongoing
decommissioning process and the command must be reissued after completing the reboot.
•Device decommissioning is supported with the DPM, TKLM, KMIP, ESKM, TEKA, and LKM key
vaults.
•Decommissioning of tape devices or snap drive volumes is currently no supported.
•Decommissioning does not automatically delete the keys. You must manually delete the keys from
the key vault to complete the operation.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--help -decommission
Displays the command usage help for the device decommissioning commands.
--decommission Decommissions a disk LUN hosted in a specified container as seen from the
initiator. You must issue this command from the node that hosts the container.
Upon successful completion of a decommissioning operation, the LUN is deleted
from all the containers hosting it. All active paths to the LUN are lost; there is no
need to execute a decommissioning operation separately for each path
associated with the LUN. A commit operation is not required. The following
operands are required:
-container container_name
Specifies the name of the container that hosts the LUN.
-initiator initiatator_PWWN
Specifies the initiator port WWN.
-LUN LUN_num Specifies the number of the LUN to be decommissioned.
--delete -decommissionedkeyids
Purges all key IDs associated with decommissioned LUNs from the internal
cache. You must delete the keys manually from the key vaults before purging the
cache.
--show -decommissionedkeyids
Displays the key IDs associated with decommissioned LUNs.
--show -vendorspecifickeyid key_ID
Displays vendor specific key_ID or UUID for a given key_ID.
EXAMPLES The following steps must be performed to decommission a disk LUN:
1. Execute the decommission operation on a LUN
switch:admin> cryptocfg --decommission -container disk_ct0 \
-initiator 21:01:00:1b:32:29:5d:1c -LUN 0
Operation succeeded.
Fabric OS Command Reference 233

2. Display the key IDs to be deleted manually from the keyvault
switch:admin> cryptocfg --show -decommissionedkeyids
Please Delete these keyed from the vault:
76:a0:01:f2:34:6e:44:cc:35:e9:be:71:64:ca:5e:90
switch:admin> cryptocfg --show vendorspecifickeyid

uuid = b7e07a6a-db64-40c2-883a-0bc6c4e923e6
3. Manually delete the keys from the vault. This step requires accessing the Key Vault GUI and deleting
the keys manually.
4. Delete the key IDs from the internal cache.

date 2
date
Displays or sets the switch date and time.
SYNOPSIS date ["newdate"]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display or set the date and time. All switches maintain current date and time in flash
memory. Date and time are used for logging events. Normal switch operation does not depend on the
date and time; a switch with incorrect date values continues to function properly.
This command sets a common date and time for the entire fabric. A change in date or time to one switch
is forwarded to the principal switch and distributed to the fabric. It may take up to 64 seconds for the
switches in the fabric to be synchronized. However, if an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be
executed only on the Primary FCS switch, and only the primary FCS switch can distribute the time stamp
to all other switches in the fabric.
If Virtual Fabrics are enabled, the date is set for the entire chassis, including all logical switches.
The date specified is always the local switch time, taking into account daylight saving time and the time
zone setup of the switch. Each switch takes care of converting the GMT time distributed fabric-wide to its
local time. Refer to tsTimeZone for more information on time zone support.
If the switch is operating in FICON Management Server mode (fmsMode), setting the date is subject to
the director clock alert mode (DCAM). If DCAM is 1, the operator issues a warning that the switch date is
about to change. The operator then prompts to confirm the change with a yes or no response.
NOTES This command becomes read-only if external NTP synchronization is enabled. For more information,
refer to tsClockServer.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operand:
"newdate"Specify the new date and time enclosed in double quotation marks. this operand is

defZone
2
defZone
Sets or displays the default zone access mode.
SYNOPSIS defzone [--noaccess | --allaccess | --show]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display or set the Default Zone access mode. Setting the Default Zone mode
initializes a zoning transaction (if one is not already in progress), and create reserved zoning objects.
A default zone controls device access when zoning is not enabled. When a user-specified zoning
configuration is not enabled, Default Zone is in effect, allowing access to all devices. When a
user-specified zone configuration is enabled, it overrides the Default Zone access mode.
NOTES This command must be issued from the primary FCS switch.
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.
Zone object names beginning with the d_efault_ prefix are reserved for default zoning use. Editing of
these objects is not permitted. Therefore, cfgShow does not display the names of these objects.
If d_efault_Cfg is the effective zone configuration, both cfgShow and cfgActvShow do not display
d_efault_Cfg as the effective zone configuration.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--noaccess Sets the default zone access mode to No Access, initializes a zoning transaction
(if one is not already in progress), and creates the reserved zoning objects
equivalent to the following zoning commands:
•cfgCreate "d_efault_Cfg","d_efault_Zone"
•zoneCreate "d_efault_Zone","00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01"
A cfgSave, cfgEnable, or cfgDisable command must be issued after issuing this
command to commit the changes and distribute them to the fabric; for example:
•defzone --noaccess
•cfgsave
An audit log record is generated for each execution of this command.
When No Access default zone is activated, the following conditions apply:
•If the current effective zone configuration is disabled with the cfgDisable
command, the local switch converts this command to the equivalent of
cfgEnable "d_efault_Cfg".
•If zoning receives a cfgDisable command from a remote switch that does not
support default zoning, zoning rejects the cfgDisable command in the
second phase of RCS because the remote switch does not convert the
cfgDisable command to cfgEnable "d_efault_Cfg".
--allaccess Sets the default zone access mode to All Access, initiates a zoning transaction (if
one is not already in progress), and deletes the reserved zoning objects by
performing the equivalent to the following zoning commands:
•cfgDelete "d_efault_Cfg"
•zoneDelete "d_efault_Zone"
Fabric OS Command Reference 239
53-1003108-01
defZone 2
A cfgSave, cfgEnable, or cfgDisable command must be performed subsequent
to the use of this command to commit the changes and distribute them to the
fabric. If a cfgSave is performed and the fabric is already in the No Access default
zone state, a cfgDisable is sent to the fabric. For example:
•defzone --allaccess
•cfgsave
An audit log record is generated for each use of this command.
--show Displays the current state of the default zone access mode.
EXAMPLES To create a default zone configuration:

distribute 2
distribute
Distributes data to switches in a fabric.
SYNOPSIS distribute -p policy_list -d switch_list
DESCRIPTION Use this command to distribute data to a specified list of switches in the fabric. The distributed data must
be from the list of currently supported policy sets:
SCC Switch Connection Control Policy
DCC Device Connection Control Policy
PWD Password Database and Password Configuration Policy
AUTH E_Port and F_Port Authentication Policy
FCS Fabric Configuration Server Policy
Each supported database has a switch-local configuration parameter that controls whether the database
can be distributed and accepts distributions. Use the fddCfg command to view and modify these
parameters.
NOTES IP Filter policies cannot be distributed with the distribute command. Use the chassisDistribute
command.
The password database received from a switch running pre-v6.3.0 firmware will be rejected by a Virtual
Fabric-enabled v6.3.0 chassis if it has more than one logical switch.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-p policy_list Specify the list of policy sets, also called security databases, to be distributed.

dlsReset 2
dlsReset
Disables Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS).
SYNOPSIS dlsreset
DESCRIPTION Use this command to disable Dynamic Load Sharing.
If DLS is turned off, load sharing calculations are used only to place new routes. Once placed, existing
routes are never moved from one output E_Port to another, unless the original output E_Port is no longer
a recognized path to the remote domain. Optimal balance is rarely achieved with this setting. Refer to the
dlsSet help page for a full description of load sharing options, including the Lossless feature.
The behavior of this command depends on the routing policies configured on the switch:
•If a port-based routing policy is in place, DLS is disabled by default, and dlsReset returns the DLS
setting to default. If Lossless was enabled, this command removes the Lossless option along with
the DLS feature and returns a message stating that "DLS is not set".
•If an exchange-based routing policy is in place, DLS is always enabled. It cannot be disabled and
the dlsReset command fails. The command generates a message stating that "DLS cannot be
changed with current routing policy". If Lossless is enabled, the feature remains enabled until you
disable it with the dlsSet --disable -lossless command.
•If DLS is already disabled, the command output confirms the disabled status: "DLS is not set
(unchanged)."
Refer to aptPolicy for information on routing policies.
NOTES The Lossless feature is not supported on GbE ports and FCoE ports. On unsupported platforms, this
command exits with an appropriate message.
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.
OPERANDS None
EXAMPLES To disable the Dynamic Load Sharing option on a switch with a port-based routing policy and DLS
enabled:

dlsSet
2
dlsSet
Enables Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS) without frame loss.
SYNOPSIS dlsset
dlsset --enable -lossless
dlsset --disable -lossless
dlsset --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS) in the event of a fabric change, to
configure DLS without frame loss, and to display the DLS configuration.
Dynamic load sharing optimizes the utilization of the interswitch links (ISLs) by rebalancing the paths
going over the ISLs whenever there is a fabric event that may result in a sub-optimal utilization of the ISL.
Dynamic rebalancing can be triggered by any one of the following events:
•A change in the fabric occurs.
•A local E_Port (including trunk ports) goes up or down.
•A local Fx_Port goes down.
When used without operands, this command enables Dynamic Load Sharing on a switch (legacy DLS
behavior). Frames may be lost during reroute operations. If the switch has an exchanged-based routing
policy, DLS is enabled by default and this command fails with the following message: "DLS can not be
changed with current routing policy."
During the load sharing recomputation, existing routes may be moved to maintain optimal load balance.
Frame loss is unavoidable when a port goes down. To prevent frames from being lost during this
operation, you can enable DLS without frame loss by issuing this command with the --enable -lossless
option.
Dynamic load sharing without frame loss is supported in logical fabrics and is configured per logical
switch. However, there is a potential impact on other logical switches because they share the same
hardware. Chassis permissions are required to configure DLS in a logical fabric environment.
For example, assume a chassis is partitioned as follows: logical switch LS1 consists of ports 1/0-1/5, and
logical switch LS2 consists of ports 1/6-1/10. Lossless is enabled on logical switch LS1. Because the
ports 1/0-1/10 share the same chip, traffic in LS2 is affected whenever traffic for LS1 on ports 1/0-1/5 is
rebalanced. The impact on LS2 depends on the configuration on LS2:
•If the Lossless feature is enabled on LS1, traffic pauses and resumes without frame loss on both
switches at the same time.
•If the Lossless feature is disabled on LS1, traffic on LS2 is not affected.
Fabric OS Command Reference 251

dlsSet 2
NOTES For switches running Fabric OS v7.1.0 or later, you can enable Lossless (or enable Fabric Management
Server mode) when XISL is enabled and enable XISL when Lossless or Fabric Management Server
mode is enabled.
When you downgrade from Fabric OS v7.1.x to Fabric OS v7.0.x the following rules apply: If Lossless (or
Fabric Management Server mode) and XISL use are not enabled at the same time, firmware download
can be executed. If both of them are enabled, firmware download is rejected with an error message.
If the active control processor (CP) runs Fabric OS v7.1.x or later, and the standby CP runs Fabric OS
v7.0.x and if both Lossless (or Fabric Management Server mode) and XISLs are enabled, High
Availability synchronization will fail. Otherwise, standby CP will synchronize with the active CP. After the
synchronization of the active and standy CP, enabling Lossless (or Fabric Management Server mode),
when XISL is enabled, is rejected with an error message. Enabling XISL, when Lossless (or Fabric
Management Server mode) is enabled, is also rejected with an error message.
Use the configure command to disable XISL use.
Lossless is supported with both exchange-based and port-based routing policies. Behavior depends on
the kind of policy configured and concurrent IOD settings. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide
for information on how to optimize your configuration. Refer to the aptPolicy help page for more
information on routing policies.
The Lossless feature is not supported on GbE ports and FCoE. On unsupported platforms, this
command exits with an appropriate message.
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.
OPERANDS --enable -lossless Enables the Lossless feature. Frame loss is reduced while the path is rerouted. If
DLS is set on the switch, this command adds the Lossless feature to the existing
DLS legacy mode. If DLS is not set on the switch, this command enables both
DLS and the Lossless feature. The Lossless feature is disabled by default.
--disable -lossless Disables the previously enabled Lossless feature. Execution of this command is
equivalent to the legacy dlsSet command. Dynamic load balancing is enforced
but not without frame loss. DLS (legacy mode) continues to be enabled after
Lossless is disabled. Use dlsReset to disable DLS completely.
--help Displays the command usage.

Displays the setting of the Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS) option.
SYNOPSIS dlsshow
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display information about Dynamic Load Sharing configuration settings on the
switch. Depending on the configuration, the command output displays one of the following messages:
•DLS is set - DLS is enabled without the Lossless feature. Load sharing is reconfigured with every
change in the fabric, and existing routes can be moved to maintain optimal balance. No attempt is
made to prevent frames from being lost while load sharing is recomputed.
•DLS is not set - DLS is disabled. Existing routes are never moved to maintain optimal balance. If
the Lossless option was enabled before you disabled DLS, it is now disabled as well. This means,
frame loss is not prevented during a load sharing recomputation.
•DLS is set with Lossless enabled - DLS is enabled with the Lossless feature. Load sharing is
recomputed with every change in the fabric, and existing routes can be moved to maintain optimal
balance. In Lossless mode, no framers are lost during this operation.
•DLS is set by default with current routing policy. DLS is set with Lossless enabled - Indicates
that the current routing policy (Exchange-based) requires DLS to be enabled by default. In addition,
the Lossless option is enabled. Frame loss is prevented during a load sharing recomputation.
Refer to dlsSet for a description of load sharing.
NOTES The Lossless feature is not supported on GbE ports and FCoE ports. On unsupported platforms, this

Configures the fabric name parameter.
SYNOPSIS fabricname --set fabric_name
fabricname --clear
fabricname --show
fabricname --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure a name for the fabric.
With Virtual Fabrics it is not uncommon to have multiple fabrics in a single chassis. These logical fabrics
are identified by their Fabric ID. With the fabricName command, you can address a fabric by name. This
command provides an option for addressing fabrics by name. However, the fabric name does not replace
the FID; the functionality of the FID is unaffected by the fabric name.
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.
Fabric name support requires Fabric OS v7.0.0 firmware and will be lost on downgrade.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--set fabric_name Sets the fabric name. The fabric name is a unique character string and can be up
to 128 characters long. You can use any character including spaces and
meta-characters. A fabric name that includes spaces must be included in double
quotation marks. Tabs are not permitted. By default, the fabric name is not
configured.
--clear Clears the fabric name.
--show Displays the fabric name. If a fabric name is not configured, an appropriate
message is displayed.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To set and display the fabric name:
switch:user> fabricname --show
Fabric Name is not configured
switch:user> fabricname --set myfabric@1
Fabric Name set to "myfabric@1"
switch:user> fabricname --show
Fabric Name: "myfabric@1"
To set a fabric name that includes spaces:
switch:user> fabricname --set "my new fabric"
Fabric Name set to "my new fabric"

fabricPrincipal
Sets the principal switch selection mode.
SYNOPSIS fabricprincipal --help | -h
fabricprincipal [--show | -q]
fabricprincipal --enable
[ -priority | -p priority]
[-force | -f ]
fabricprincipal --disable
fabricprincipal [-f] mode
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set principal switch selection mode for a switch and to set priorities for principal
switch selection.
The implementation of the fabricPrincipal command is based solely on mechanisms specified in the
Fibre Channel standards. These mechanisms provide a preference for a switch requesting to be the
principal switch in a fabric, but they do not provide an absolute guarantee that a switch requesting to be
the principal switch is granted this status.
When dealing with large fabrics, the selection of the principal switch is less deterministic. In these cases,
to help ensure that the desired switch is selected as the principal switch, a small cluster of switches
should be interconnected first, followed by additional switches to enlarge the fabric.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--help |-h Displays the command usage.
--show Displays the current mode setting and principal switch selection priority. This
operand is optional; if not specified, fabricPrincipal displays the same data as
with the --show option.
-q Displays principal mode only (enabled or disabled). This is a legacy command
option that does not display the priority settings.
--enable Enables principal switch selection. The following operands are optional. If you do
not provide a priority value, the system assigns the default of 0x01 or generates a
value based on the switch state.
-priority | -p priority
Sets the principal selection priority of the switch. The specified priority value is
used in the principal switch selection protocol when the fabric rebuilds. Not all of
these values can be assigned.
0x00 Reserved. This value cannot be assigned.
Fabric OS Command Reference 281
53-1003108-01
fabricPrincipal 2
0x01 Highest priority. This is a user-defined value
0x02 Switch was principal prior to sending or receiving a build fabric (BF) request.
This value is generated by the switch to initiate a fabric reconfiguration. This
value should not be assigned.
0x3 - 0xFE Priority value range. Choose a value in this range to indicate priority. Higher
numbers mean lower priority.
0xFF Switch is not capable of acting as a principal switch. This is a user-defined
value. Use --enable with a new priority to revert to this condition.
-force | -f Forces a fabric rebuild regardless of whether the switch is principal or
subordinate. This option is not valid with the --disable command.
--disable Disables principal switch selection. This command resets the priority to the default
value 0xFE.
[-f] mode Sets the principal switch selection mode. Specify 1 to enable principal switch
selection mode. Specify 0 to disable principal switch selection mode. Optionally,
use the -f operand to force a fabric rebuild. Mode changes take effect when the
fabric rebuilds. This operand is optional.
EXAMPLES To enable a high fabric principal priority setting:
switch:admin> fabricprincipal --enable -p 0xff
Principal Selection Mode enabled (Activate in \
next fabric rebuild)
To disable the principal mode selection:
switch:admin> fabricprincipal --disable
Principal Selection Mode disabled
To display the current mode setting:
switch:admin> fabricprincipal -q
Principal Selection Mode: Enable
To disable the mode setting:
switch:admin> fabricprincipal 0
Principal Selection Mode disabled
To enable the mode setting:
switch:admin> fabricprincipal 1
Principal Selection Mode enabled
To enable the mode setting and force fabric rebuild:
switch:admin> fabricprincipal -f 1
Principal Selection Mode enabled \

fapwwn --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to create and manage fabric-assigned port world wide names (FA-PPWWNs) for
Dynamic Fabric Provisioning (DFP). A FA-PWWN is a "virtual" port WWN that will bind to a device port
and can be later assigned to a physical device. A FA-PWWN can be either user-generated or
automatically assigned by the fabric. The automatically assigned FA-PWWN is created by default when
you enable the feature without explicitly providing a VPWWN. With FA-PWWNs assigned to FC ports or
Access Gateway (AG) ports, you can provision the ports in advance with zoning configurations, access
control, or Ports on Demand assignments, and you can easily move servers across ports or Access
Gateways by way of reassigning the FA-PWWN to another port.
The fapwwn command supports the following management tasks:
• Bind an automatically assigned or a user-assigned FA-PWWN to a switch port.
• Override an automatically assigned FA-PWWN with a user-assigned FA-PWWN.
• Bind an AG port with an automatically assigned or a user-assigned FA-PWWN.
• Delete any existing FA-PWWN bindings.
• Move a FA-PWWN from one port to another port.
• Move a FA-PWWN assigned to an AG port to another AG.
• Display information about configured FA-PWWN bindings.
292 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
faPwwn

A single port can be assigned up to two WWNs, one assigned automatically and one assigned by the
user. Only one FA-PWWN can be active at any given time. The user-assigned FA-PWWN takes
precedence over the automatically assigned FA-PWWN. This means, the switch will bind the
user-assigned FA-PWWN to the port if both a user-assigned and an automatically assigned FA-PWWN
are available.
FA-PWWN configurations are saved persistently and are preserved even if the feature is disabled on a
port, or if you move the port to a different logical switch. The same configuration will be reapplied on the
port once the feature is enabled or the port is moved back to the switch where you initially created and
saved the configuration.
When issued for switch ports, the --show option displays the following information:
Port Port number
PPWNN Real PWWN of the device
VPWNN Currently active FA-PWWN.
The following information is displayed for Access Gateway ports:
AG Port Access Gateway node WWN followed by a slash and port number
Port The FC switch port number
Device Port WWN The real device port WWN displays only if the device is logged into the Access
Gateway.
Virtual Port WWN The FA-PWWN (user-assigned or automatically assigned) created on the FC
switch for the Access Gateway port.
The following information is displayed for both AG and FC switch ports:
PID Port ID.
Enable Displays "yes" if the configuration is enabled; displays "No" if the configuration is
disabled.
MapType Displays the type of mapping: Access Gateway (AG) or switch port (port),
user-assigned (user) or automatically assigned (auto).
NOTES This command is supported only on the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-4, DCX 8510-8,and the and
Brocade 6510. Regarding Access Gateway support, you cannot configure FA-PWWN on the Brocade
300, and 5100 when these switches are in Access Gateway mode. The AG port must be configured on
the switch to which the AG is connected. However, both AG switches are FA-PWWN-aware, which
means that they can connect to switches with configured FA-PWWN ports. Refer to the Brocade
Adapters Administrator's Guide for list of supported Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and configuration
procedures. Refer to the Release Notes for other restrictions that may apply.
You cannot enable the FA-PWWN feature if portSwap is enabled on the ports.
The operands, --assign, --delete, --enable, and --disable can be executed only on a disabled port
(switch ports and AG ports). You must re-enable the ports to come online with the new configuration.

faPwwn 2
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.
OPERANDS this command has the following operands:
--enable Enables the FA-PWWN feature on the specified switch ports or AG ports. If a
FA-PWWN is not available for the ports, this command automatically assigners
FA-PWWNs to the ports.
--disable Disables the FA-PWWN feature on the specified switch ports or AG ports. This
commands disables the binding of any existing FA-PWWNs to the specified ports,
it does not delete the port configurations themselves. When you re-enable the
feature, the persistently saved configurations are re-applied to the ports.
--assign Assigns a FA-PWWN to a specified port. You can specify only a single port with
this command (not a port range) and optionally provide a VPWWN. When
executed without the -v option, this command automatically generates a
FA-PWWN and assigns it to the port. When executed with the -v option, and a
user-assigned FA-PWWN already exists, this command fails with an appropriate
message. If an automatically assigned FA-PWWN exists, the user-generated
FA-PWWN overrides the automatically generated FA-PWWN. When you assign a
FA-PWWN to an AG port, you must specify the AG node WWN to uniquely identify
the AG. The new FA-PWWN will take effect upon the next login session.
--delete Deletes the active FA-PWWN from the specified ports. If a port is bound to a
user-assigned FA-PWWN, this command deletes the currently active FA-PWWN
and activates the automatically assigned FA-PWNN. If the active FA-PWWN is
automatically assigned and no user-assigned FA-PWWN exists, this command
deletes the FA-PWWN. When deleting VPWWNs from an AG, you must specify
the AG node WWN and the -port operand is optional; if omitted, all active
FA-PWWNs are deleted from the AG. To delete a single FA-PWWN, use the
delete command with the -v option.
If no active FA-PWWNs exist on the ports, the FA-PWWN feature is disabled. Use
the -enable command to re-enable the feature.
--show Displays the FA-PWWN configuration for the specified ports or for all ports in the
logical switch. When displaying information for AG ports, you must specify the AG
node WWN.
-port[slot/]port[-port]
Specifies the ports to be configured or displayed on the switch or on the AG,
preceded by a slot number on bladed systems. The port list can include a single
port or a port range, for example, 3-5 or 1/3-5. Port ranges are supported only with
automatically assigned FA-PWWNs, and only on switch ports. You cannot use a
port range on AG ports.
-ag AG_WWN Specifies the Access Gateway node WWN.
-v VPWWN Specifies a virtual PWWN to be assigned to the port. This operation deactivates
any existing FA-PWWN on the port.
294 Fabric OS Command Reference

all Specifies all ports on the logical switch. This operand is valid only with the --show
option.
--move Moves an active FA-PWWN from a source to the specified destination port. Use
this command to move a server across switch ports. If the source port has both a
user-assigned and an automatically assigned FA-PWWN, the user-assigned
FA-PWWN will be moved to the destination port as a user-assigned FA-PWWN
and replace any automatically assigned FA-PWWN that may be active on that
port. If the source port has only an auto-assigned FA-PWWN, the auto-assigned
FA-PWWN will be moved to the destination port and the FA-PWWN feature will be
disabled on the source port, because there is no FA-PWWN left on that port.
When moving PWWNs between Access Gateways, you must specify the source
AG node WWN and the destination AG node WWN in addition to the ports.
The following operands are supported with the --move option:
-srcag AG_WWNSpecifies the source AG by its node WWN. This operand is required only when
moving ports between Access Gateways.
-dstag AG_WWN Specifies the destination AG by its node WWN. This operand is required only
when moving ports between Access Gateways.
-srcport source_port
Specifies the port from which to move the PWWN.
-dstport dest_port
Specifies the destination port for the moved PWWN.
--help Displays the command usage.

Fabric OS Command Reference 297
53-1003108-01
fastBoot 2
fastBoot
Reboots the Control Processor (CP), bypassing the Power-On Self-Test (POST).
SYNOPSIS fastboot
DESCRIPTION Use this command to perform a "cold reboot" (power off/restart) of the CP bypassing POST when the
system comes back up. Bypassing POST can reduce boot time significantly. If POST was previously
disabled using the diagDisablePost command, then fastBoot is the same as reBoot.
The fastBoot operation is disruptive, and the command prompts for confirmation before executing.
When you reboot a switch connected to a fabric, all traffic to and from that switch stops. All Fibre Channel
ports on that switch including E_Ports become inactive until the switch comes back online.
The behavior of this command varies according to platform type:
•When issued on a standalone (single-processor) switch, this command performs a cold reboot of the
switch.
•When issued on an enterprise-class platform (Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, or 48000) with two CPs
(active and standby), the following rules apply:
-When the Standby CP reboots, it goes down and there is no failover because there is no traffic
on that switch. When the Standby CP comes up again, it is temporarily no longer in sync with
the Active CP.
-When the Active CP reboots, it fails over to the Standby CP. The Standby CP becomes the new
Active CP and traffic is disrupted.
-When HA is disabled and fastBoot is issued on the Active CP, both the Active and Standby CPs
reboot with the original mastership retained. The original Active CP remains the Active CP after
the reboot, and the original Standby CP remains the Standby CP. After the reboot, HA is
enabled.
-When HA is disabled and fastBoot is issued on the Standby CP, the Standby CP reboots
without prompting. It boots up with the default switch only, even if the Active CP has multiple
logical switches configured. After the Standby CP boots up, HA is still disabled.
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.
OPERANDS None
EXAMPLES To reboot a standalone (single-processor) switch without executing POST on startup:
switch:admin> fastboot
Warning: This command would cause the switch to reboot
and result in traffic disruption.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure and display the status of FCoE ports, FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP),
and FCMAP settings.
Unlike regular FC ports, FCoE ports are embedded interfaces that are not directly associated with an
external physical port on the switch. Although show commands such as switchShow display FCoE ports
as "ports," configuration of these ports through the regular FC CLI is disabled. Only the FCoE CLI
commands can be used.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands.
slot Specifies the slot number on bladed systems, followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the port number. On the Brocade FCoE 10-24 blade, there are 24
configurable FCoE ports numbered 0 to 23. Use switchShow for a list of valid
FCoE ports.
--help Displays the command usage.
--cfgshow Displays the configuration of a specified embedded FCoE port. If a port is not
specified, the command displays all port configurations.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to send a Fibre Channel ELS Echo request to a pair of ports (a source and a
destination), to a single device, or to execute a SuperPing that exercises all interswitch links (ISLs) and
internal links in different paths that route to the destination device.
•When you use fcPing with a source and a destination, the command performs a zoning check
between the two ports. In addition, two Fibre Channel ELS requests are generated. The first ELS
request is from the domain controller to the source port identifier. The second ELS request is from
the domain controller to the destination port identifier. The ELS Echo request elicits an ELS Echo
response from a port identifier in the fabric and is useful for validating link connectivity.
The source and destination port identifiers can be specified as a 24-bit Fibre Channel port identifier
(PISD), a port World Wide Name, or a node World Wide Name. The two port identifiers are then
used to determine if the identifiers are zoned together.
•When you use fcPing to probe a single destination, an ELS Echo is sent to the specified destination
and a response obtained. The destination can be a switch WWN, a domain ID, or a switch domain
controller ID. No zoning check is performed when a single device is probed.
•When you use fcPing with the --allpaths option, the command exercises a "SuperPing." A
SuperPing exercises all ISLs and the internal links included in the paths that route to the destination.
It collects statistical data of all the covered paths and their port and provides optional parameters to
selectively display the data. SuperPing takes only one argument, that is, the destination port
identifier. To execute a SuperPing for two destination, you must issue the fcping --allpaths
command separately for each destination.
SuperPing facilitates troubleshooting of links that experience problems. When an echo frame is
dropped, all the ISLs and internal links potentially traversed by this frame are marked as failures. If a
fabric topology is considered fully redundant, that is, at each hop there are multiple paths to reach a
destination, a high percentage of errors are recorded on the link that experiences errors.

fcPing 2
Logical Fabrics: When executed in a Logical Fabric from a switch to a destination device
connected through the base fabric, SuperPing exercises all paths in the base fabric along with the
ISLs in the logical fabric. The path output indicates the LISLs and the base switch. Refer to the
Examples section for an illustration.
NOTES The ELS Echo may not be supported on all devices. In such cases, the response could be either an ELS
reject or a request timeout.
By default, fcPing sends five ELS Echo requests to each port. When a device does not respond to the
ELS Echo request, further debugging may be needed to determine, whether the device does not support
ELS Echo, or whether the request is rejected for some other reason. Do not assume that the device is
not connected.
The execution of SuperPing requires that all switches in the fabric run Fabric OS v6.4.0 or later. For
switches running earlier versions of Fabric OS, the collected data is incomplete.
If a fabric reconfiguration occurs while SuperPing is in progress, the command reports an error message.
Exit the command and rerun the test after the fabric becomes stable again.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
destination Specifies the destination as follows.
•When using fcPing between a source and a destination, specify the
destination as port WWN or a node WWN.
•When using fcPing to ping a single device, specify the destination as a PID,
a switch WWN, a domain ID, or a switch domain controller ID.
•When using fcPing with the --allpaths option, specify the destination as a
PID, a switch WWN, or a domain ID.
source Specifies the source port ID, port WWN, or node WWN. This operand is optional;
it is not valid with the SuperPing command (--allpaths).
The following operands are valid only when fcPing is executed without the --allpaths option (legacy
mode):
--number frames Specifies the number of ELS Echo requests to send. The default value is 5.
--length size Specifies the frame size of the requests in bytes. The default value is 0. Without
data, the Fibre Channel Echo request frame size is 12 bytes. The total byte count
includes four bytes from the Echo request header and eight bytes from the
timestamp. The maximum allowed value is 2,036 bytes. The length must be
word-aligned.
--interval wait Specifies the interval, in seconds, between successive ELS Echo requests. The
default value is 0 seconds.
--pattern pattern Specifies up to 16 "pad" bytes, which are used to fill out the request frame payload
sent. This is useful for diagnosing data-dependent problems in the fabric link. The
pattern bytes are specified as hexadecimal characters. For example, --pattern ff
fills the request frame with instances of the number 1. If a non-byte-aligned
pattern is specified, the upper nibble of the last pattern byte is filled with zeros. For
example, --pattern 123 fills the payload with a pattern of 0x1203.

--bypasszone Bypasses the zone check.
--quiet Suppresses the diagnostic output. Only zoning information, if applicable, and the
summary line are displayed.
The following operands are valid only when fcPing is executed to perform a SuperPing:
--allpaths [args] destination
Executes a SuperPing that covers all available paths to the specified destination.
The number of actual paths covered depends on two other parameters that you
can optionally specify. When you issue fcping --allpaths for a destination without
any other options, SuperPing covers all ISLs in the routes between source to
destination but does exercise all possible combinations of end-to-end paths. This
operand is required when executing fcPing as SuperPing.
The following operands are optional and valid only with the --allpaths option:
-printisl Displays statistical data for each ISL and internal port along the paths traversed
by SuperPing. This information displays in addition to the path display.
-covcount NSpecifies the minimum number of times each ISL is exercised by the SuperPing
command. The command sends N frames and checks if each ISL is exercised at
least N times. When the condition is met, superPing exits and prints the statistics.
The default value is 5.
-maxtries MSpecifies the maximum number of frames to be sent before SuperPing exits. If
both -maxtries and -covcount are specified, SuperPing checks the ISL coverage
and keeps resending frames until the minimum coverage condition to is met or
until the maximum number of echo frames specified in maxtries has been sent.
For example, assuming a coverage count of 100 and a Maxtries value of 300,
SuperPing will send 100 frames at a time and checks if each ISL is covered at
least 100 times. If not, SuperPing will keep sending 100 frames at a time to check
for coverage up to 3 times for a maximum of 300 frames (3*100 = 300) on each
egress port. If this value is set too low in relation to the specified coverage count,
not all ISLs may be covered. The default value is 100.
-delay DIncludes a delay of D milliseconds between each echo frame sent.
-framelength len Specifies the size of the data to send.
-errstats Collects error statistics of each user port that is part of ISLs covered through
SuperPing to reach destination domain.
-vc Displays the ISL and internal port statistics per VC.
--help Displays the command usage.

fcrConfigure
Displays or sets FC Router configuration parameters.
SYNOPSIS fcrconfigure --bbfid
fcrconfigure --enable -shortestifl
fcrconfigure --disable -shortestifl
fcrconfigure --show
fcrconfigure --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to change the backbone fabric ID, or to enable or disable the shortest inter-fabric link
(IFL) mode. If no operands are specified, this command displays the usage. Use the --show option to
display the current settings on the switch.
Before you configure the backbone fabric ID using the --bbfid option, you must disable FC routing by
using the fosConfig command and disable the switch using the switchDisable command.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--bbfid Specifies the Backbone Fabric ID. This is an interactive option. A fabric ID
uniquely identifies a fabric in FC Router configurations. The backbone fabric is the
fabric attached to the U_Ports of the switch, for example, E_Ports or F_Ports. The
backbone fabric ID must be unique across all fabrics connected to the FC Router.
Use the switchShow command to display the current Backbone Fabric ID.
--enable -shortestifl Enables the shortest IFL mode in FC Router.
When the shortest IFL mode is enabled, FC Router can choose a lowest-cost IFL
path in the backbone fabric. This feature is useful when an FC Router has multiple
connections to the source edge fabric and the backbone fabric has multiple FC
Routers connected through FCIP links (VE_Ports) and FC links (E_Ports).
Because a domain in an edge fabric can choose any equal cost path to reach the
translate domain, frames can be transmitted through FCIP links even though FC
links are present in the backbone fabric. When the shortest IFL mode is enabled,
the FCIP path in the backbone fabric is avoided while reaching the destination
edge fabric.
You should identify the FCIP links in the backbone fabric and then the direction of
the FCIP path (across the backbone fabric) from the source to the destination
edge fabric. Once the direction of the FCIP path is identified, set the cost of the
FCIP link greater than or equal to 10000 by using the linkCost command. The link
cost must be set for all FC Routers in the identified FCIP link path. Likewise,
identify and set the cost for other FCIP paths of all destination edge fabrics.

53-1003108-01
fcrConfigure
2
After you identify the FCIP links between FC Routers for all fabrics and updated
the cost of all FCIP links, enable the shortest IFL mode in all the FC Routers in the
backbone fabric using this option. If the FCIP link is the only available path from
the source to the destination edge fabric, then traffic will flow through that FCIP
link only.
--disable -shortestifl Disables the shortest IFL mode in FC Router.
--show Shows the current Backbone Fabric ID and the status of the shortest IFL mode as
enabled or disabled.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To configure FC Router parameters:
fcr:admin> fcrconfigure --bbfid
Backbone fabric ID parameter set. <cr> to skip this parameter
Please make sure new Backbone Fabric ID does \
not conflict with any configured EX-Port's Fabric ID
Backbone fabric ID: (1-128)[128]32
To enable shortest IFL mode:
fcr:admin> fcrconfigure --enable -shortestifl

fcrLsan 2
fcrLsan
Configures and displays LSAN policies.
SYNOPSIS fcrlsan
fcrlsan --add -enforce tag | -speed tag
fcrlsan --remove -enforce tag | -speed tag
fcrlsan --show -enforce | -speed | all
fcrlsan --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to add or remove LSAN tags, or to display existing tags in the configuration. LSAN
tagging optimizes an FC Router's behavior based on a specified subset of LSANS. This feature improves
scalability and performance related to LSAN zone size and the speed with which they are imported or
exported.
This command supports two types of LSAN tags: enforced tags and speed tags.
•Enforced LSAN tags filter zones accepted by the FC Router from the edge fabric by matching the
zones to the configured tags. Only matching zones are accepted into the local database for export
and import. For example, if you configure an enforced LSAN tag "BRCD" on a router, only zones
with names starting with "lsan_BRCD" are accepted. If multiple tags are configured, any matching
zones are accepted. A maximum of eight LSAN enforce tags are configurable per FC Router switch.
•A speed tag is a flag to indicate to the FCR that the targets in the LSANs matching the tag need to
be imported permanently when host and target are zoned together, even if the host is not present.
This mechanism facilitates a speedy discovery process by reducing instances of failure related to
timeouts. Once the devices that belong to the target edge fabric are defined as speed LSANS, the
import or export can occur with a minimum amount of delay when hosts reboot or are added to the
zone database.
The following restrictions apply when configuring LSAN tags:
•The FC router must run Fabric OS v6.2.0 or later.
•The switch must be disabled when you configure enforce tags. Speed tags can be configured while
the switch is online.
•You must change the LSAN name in the edge fabric or the backbone fabric and propagate the LSAN
to the FCR. Note that enforce tags are not supported in the backbone fabric.
•The speed tags must be set in all related FC Routers in order for import and export to proceed
correctly. However, only LSANs on the target edge fabric must append the tag.
When executed without operands, fcrlSan displays the command usage.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--add Adds the specified tag to the LSAN tag configuration.
--remove Removes the specified tag from the LSAN tag configuration.

--show Displays the specified tag from the LSAN tag configuration.
--help Displays the command usage.
-enforce tag Accepts only the LSANs from the edge fabric that matches the specified tag string
into the local FCR database. A valid tag is a string of a maximum of eight
characters. The maximum configurable enforced tags is eight.
-speed tag Allows the FCR to always import these target devices to the hosts specified in the
LSANs that match the speed tag. Only one speed tag is allowed per FC router.
-all When used with the --show option, this command displays all LSAN tags in the
FCR LSAN tag database.
EXAMPLES To add an LSAN enforcement tag named "brocade":
switch:admin> switchdisable
switch:admin> fcrlsan --add -enforce brocade
LSAN tag set successfully
To add a speed tag named "mcdt":

fcrLsanCount 2
fcrLsanCount
Displays or sets the maximum LSAN count.
SYNOPSIS fcrlsancount [max_lsan_count]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set or display the maximum number of LSAN zones that can be configured on the
edge fabric. By default, the maximum LSAN count is set to 3000, which is also the minimum. This
command allows you to create up to 5000 LSANs on your edge fabric, if needed to support additional
devices. The maximum number of supported LSAN devices is 10,000.
When executed without operand, this command displays the current LSAN zone limit.
This command assumes that all FCRs in the same LSAN fabric matrix or backbone have the same
maximum LSAN count defined in order to protect the FCRs from running into indefinite state. Asymmetric
LSAN configurations due to different maximum LSAN counts may lead to different devices being
imported on different FCRs.
Because the maximum number of LSANs is configured per switch, if there is a different maximum LSAN
count on the switches throughout the meta-SAN, the device import or export will not be identical on the
FCRs. You should therefore enter the same maximum LSAN count for all the FCR switches in the same
backbone that support this feature. Verify the configured maximum limit against the LSANs configured
using the fcrResourceShow command.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
max_lsan_count Specifies the maximum LSAN count.
EXAMPLES To display the current LSAN limit:

DESCRIPTION Use this command to create, modify, remove, and manage Logical SAN (LSAN) Zone bindings between
edge fabrics or between FC routers. LSAN Zone bindings specify pairs of edge fabrics or FCRs that can
access each other and share LSAN Zone and device database information.
This command follows a transaction model. Modifications to the LSAN fabric matrix or to the FC router
matrix are saved nonpersistently in a cache until you save the changes persistently with the --apply
option.
When used with the -lsan option, this command manages the LSAN matrix information. An LSAN fabric
pair binds two edge fabrics specified by their Fabric IDs. Every paired edge fabric implies two-way
communications. The paired edge fabrics have access only to the edge fabrics associated with them by
this command. The edge fabrics that are not specified in the LSAN fabric matrix have access to the
remaining unspecified edge fabrics. Using this information, the FCR switch maintains the remote LSAN
Zone and the device state database only if it is associated with its local edge fabrics.
For example, if the edge fabrics with FIDs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are online, all edge fabrics have two-way
communication. This is the default behavior. If you pair the edge fabrics 1 and 2 with the --add -lsan
command, the default access between the edge fabrics is changed as follows:
•Fabric 1 can access only fabric 2.
•Fabric 2 can access only fabric 1.
•The fabrics 3, 4, and 5 can access each other, but cannot access Fabric 1 or 2.
The LSAN matrix information is automatically distributed to all switches in the fabric. The FIDs entered
are not required to be online when you set up the LSAN fabric matrix.
When used with the -fcr option, this command manages the FC router matrix. This database consists of
FC router pairs that can talk to each other. All edge fabrics connected to a defined pair of FCRs are
allowed to import devices to each other.
Once a fabric is removed from an FCR, the communication with other fabrics of the two FCRs is also
removed. It is advisable to update the matrix to reflect the change. If FCR Binding is enabled in the edge
fabrics, the edge fabrics can still communicate with the backbone fabric. The LSAN matrix provides a
higher level of granularity than the FCR matrix. Therefore, communication between two fabrics could
pass the FCR matrix, but fail due to restriction of the FID matrix.

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.
OPERANDS If no operands are specified, this command displays the persistent LSAN Zone matrix information. The
following operands are optional:
--add -lsan FID FID | -fcr wwn wwn
Adds the pair of edge fabrics or FCR members that can access each other to the
LSAN matrix cache. Edge fabrics are specified by their Fabric IDs. FCRs are
specified by their world wide names (WWNs). If the FCR is online, the domain ID
of the switch can be used in place of the WWN. If you specify --add with zero (0)
value for FID or 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 for wwn, the command returns the cache
to default mode.
--remove -lsan FID FID | -fcr wwn wwn
Removes the specified pair of FIDs or FCRs from the cache. When you remove a
fabric or FCR pair from the LSAN matrix, the edge fabrics assume the default
behavior.
--apply -lsan | -fcr | -all
Applies the information from the cache to persistent memory. This operation
succeeds only if there is no effect on the existing import/export devices.
Otherwise, this command generates an error message. See the Diagnostics
section for more information.
--cancel -lsan | -fcr Cancels changes made to the cache that were not applied. This command
effectively reverts to the persistently stored information.
--display -lsan | -fcr | -all
Displays the information saved in the cache.
--fabricview -lsan | -fcr
Displays all static and default/dynamic fabric bindings in the backbone.
--verify -lsan | -fcr Verifies if the LSAN Zone information previously entered and stored in the cache
can be successfully applied. The data is considered acceptable if the apply
operation does not cause any traffic disruption
--quickmode Derives the LSAN Zone matrix from the imported or exported devices.
DIAGNOSTICS Error message (1)
LSAN Matrix in the cache conflicts with existing import/export devices and may disrupt traffic. Please
refer to the man page for the corrective action.
Corrective actions:
•Any new router added to the backbone fabric automatically triggers a matrix merge. If a router does
not support the matrix merge feature, the router cannot join the backbone fabric. Make sure that all
legacy FCR switches in the backbone support the matrix merge feature, otherwise the feature is not
supported.
•Use fcrlsanmatrix --fabricview -lsan | -fcr to confirm that all the switches in the backbone have the
same LSAN and FCR Binding matrix. If not, there are two solutions. The first solution is to modify
one FCR or both to make them the same and then activate the FCRs. The second solution is to zero
out the database of one FCR to signal that this FCR accepts the database from the other FCR once
the change is activated.

To zero out the database, execute the following commands:
-fcrlsanmatrix --add -lsan 0 0
-fcrlsanmatrix --add -fcr 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00
-fcrlsanmatrix --apply -all
•In a dual backbone configuration, execute fcrlsanmatrix --fabricview on the FCR switches to
confirm that the shared edge fabric FIDs have the same access in both backbones.
•Execute fcrlsanmatrix --display -lsan | -fcr and fcrproxydevshow -a. Check that the LSAN
Binding matrix in the cache is not in conflict with the existing import/export devices that are displayed
on the FCR switch. If there is a conflict, do one of the following:
-Update the LSAN/FCR Binding matrix in the cache to allow access for the FIDs that have
imported devices.
-Remove the conflicting import/export devices by updating the LSAN zone in the edge fabrics.
-Disable the conflicting devices.
Error message (2)
There may be other FCR switches in the backbone that do not support the LSAN Binding feature or do
not have the same fcrlsanmatrix settings.
Please refer to the man page for the corrective action.
Corrective actions:
•Verify that all FCR switches in the backbone support the LSAN Binding features.
•Execute fcrlsanmatrix --fabricview to confirm that all the switches in the backbone have the same
LSAN Binding matrix. If not, clear the LSAN Binding feature on all the switches and reapply the
same LSAN Binding matrix on all the FCR switches in the backbone.
•In a dual backbone configuration, use fcrlsanmatrix --fabricview on the FCR switches to confirm
that the shared edge fabric FIDs have the same access in both backbones.
Refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference manual for further diagnostic information.

fcrPhyDevShow 2
fcrPhyDevShow
Displays the FC Router physical device information.
SYNOPSIS fcrphydevshow [-a][-f FID][-w wwn][-c][-d] [-h]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the physical (real) devices that are configured to be exported to other
fabrics. A device is considered to be configured to be exported to another fabric if it is a member of an
LSAN zone. The device is displayed only if it is discovered in the EX_Port-attached fabric and backbone
fabric's name server (for instance, the device is online).
Physical device information is available only for physical devices that exist in fabrics attached to
EX_Ports of FC Routers on the same backbone fabric as the current FC Router.
The default output displays only physical device information relevant to the current FC Router. Relevant
physical devices include physical devices that are configured to be exported from fabrics attached to the
current FC Router's EX_Ports.
The physical devices are listed by fabric.
The -f and -w operands allow searching for physical devices based on fabric ID or port world wide name.
"No device found" is displayed if there is no physical device information available at the current FC
Router.
Each line of the output displays:
Device Exists in Fabric
The fabric in which the physical device exists.
WWN The world wide name of the device port.
Physical PID The port ID of the physical device. This port ID is only relevant on the fabric
specified by the "Device Exists in Fabric" column.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-a Displays all physical devices for all FC Routers in the same backbone fabric
whether or not they are relevant to the current FC Router.
-a -f FID Displays the physical devices in the specified fabric for all FC Routers in the same
backbone fabric whether or not they are relevant to the current FC Router.
-w wwn Displays the physical devices with the specified port WWN.
-c Clears login-related counters.
-d Displays the following login-related counters. Counters are cleared upon reboot or
failover.
login try The number of times the device attempted to log in.

fcrProxyConfig 2
fcrProxyConfig
Displays or configures proxy devices presented by an FC Router.
SYNOPSIS fcrproxyconfig
[-s importedFID devWWN slot]
[-r importedFID devWWN]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display or set the persistent configuration of proxy devices presented by the local
FC Router.
When used without operand, this command displays the persistent proxy device configuration;
otherwise, it sets the specified attributes to its new value.
The proxy device must be inactive prior to setting or clearing persistent attributes. Disabling EX_Ports
(using the portDisable command) attached to the relevant edge fabric, removing the device from the
appropriate LSAN zones, or disabling the physical device are valid methods of ensuring a proxy device is
inactive.
Persistent proxy device configuration attributes apply to the local FC Router. Multiple FC Routers
attached to the same edge fabric coordinate to present the same proxy devices. As a result, persistent
proxy device configurations must be consistent across all FC Routers attached to the same edge fabric
or unpredictable results may occur. If the proxy device configuration is not altered, no action is required.
If the configuration is altered, then care must be taken to ensure consistency across all FC Routers
attached to the same edge fabric.
When used without operands, this command displays the following information:
importedFID The imported fabric ID of the proxy device.
devWWN The port world wide name of the device.
Slot The slot used for the device WWN. The device WWN-to-slot association is
persistently stored. The slot format is XXYYH, where XX specifies the translate
domain area_ID (valid values include F0H through FFH) and YY specifies the Port
ID value or the low 8-bits of the proxy device address (valid values include 01H
through 7FH). The address of the proxy device is derived from the PID format (for
example, native, core, or extended edge) and the proxy device slot.

If no proxy device WWN is stored in any slot for all edge fabrics, the following message is displayed: "All
slots empty."
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-s importedFID devWWN slot
Adds the specified devWWN (format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) to the specified slot
(format XXYYH, where XX is the translate domain area_ID [F0H through FFH]
and YY is the port_ID [01H through 7FH]) for the edge fabric specified (1 through
128). The following messages may be displayed:
•"WWN does not exist in any proxy device slot." The WWN does not exist in
any slot for the specified edge fabric.
•"Too many proxy slots configured. Remove some unused proxy device
WWNs from their slots using the -r operand and try again." All slots are used
for the specified edge fabric.
•"The specified slot already contains a WWN, overwrite? [y]" The specified slot
already contains an entry. You are then prompted for confirmation.
-r importedFID devWWN
Removes the specified devWWN (format: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX) from its
slot for the edge fabric specified by importedFID (1 through 128). If the WWN
does not exist in any slot for the specified edge fabric, the following message is
displayed: "WWN does not exist in any proxy device slot."

fcrProxyDevShow 2
fcrProxyDevShow
Displays FC Router proxy device information.
SYNOPSIS fcrproxydevshow [-a][-f fabricid][-w wwn]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the proxy devices presented by FC Router EX_Ports and information about
the proxy devices. A proxy device is a virtual device presented in to a fabric by an FC Router. A proxy
device represents a real device on another fabric. When a proxy device is created in a fabric, the real
Fibre Channel device is considered to be imported in to this fabric. The presence of a proxy device is
required for inter-fabric device communication. The proxy device appears to the fabric as a real Fibre
Channel device. It has a name server entry and is assigned a valid port ID.
Proxy device information is available only for proxy devices that are presented by FC Routers on the
same backbone fabric as this FC Router.
The default output displays only proxy device information relevant to this FC Router. Relevant proxy
devices include proxy devices created by this FC Router (devices imported by this FC Router).
The proxy devices are listed by fabric. Search parameters -f and -w allow searching for proxy devices
based on fabric ID or port WWN.
"No proxy device found" is displayed if there is no proxy device information available on this FC Router.
This command displays the following information:
Proxy Created in Fabric
The fabric in which the proxy device has been created.
WWN The WWN of the device port.
Proxy PID The port ID of the proxy device. The port ID is only relevant on the fabric specified
by the "Proxy Created in Fabric" column.
Device Exists in Fabric
The fabric in which the physical device represented by this proxy device exists.
Physical PID The port ID of the physical device. The port ID is relevant only on the fabric
specified by the "Device Exists in Fabric" column.
State State includes:
Imported Proxy device has been imported into the fabric.
Initializing The proxy device is being initialized and will soon be imported into the fabric.
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

fcrResourceShow 2
fcrResourceShow
Displays FC Router physical resource usage.
SYNOPSIS fcrresourceshow
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the FC Router-available resources. The maximum number allowed versus
the currently used is displayed for various resources. The command output includes:
LSAN Zones The maximum versus the currently used LSAN zones.
LSAN Devices The maximum versus the currently used LSAN device database entries. Each
proxy or physical device constitutes an entry.
Proxy Device Slots The maximum versus the currently used proxy device slots. A proxy device is
presented to an edge fabric as being connected to a translate domain slot. A slot
is the port number and AL_PA combination. The slot-to-device WWN association
is persistently stored.
Phantom Node WWNs
The maximum versus the currently allocated phantom switch node WWNs. The
phantom switch requires node WWNs for fabric-shortest-path-first (FSPF) and
manageability purposes. Phantom node names are allocated from the pool
sequentially and are not reused until the pool is exhausted and rolls over. The last
allocated phantom node WWN is persistently stored. If the switch is disabled, the
phantom node WWNs are not returned to the pool until the system reboots,
because the phantom switch could still be accessible through other switches.
Across a switch reboot, the allocation starts from the next usable WWN from the
pool and not from the beginning.
Phantom Port WWNs
The maximum versus the currently used phantom domain port WWNs. Phantom
domain ports require port WWNs for manageability purposes. Phantom domain
ports include ports connecting front and translate domains (virtual ISLs), translate
domain ports for proxy devices, and EX_Ports. Phantom port names are allocated
from the pool sequentially and are not resumed until the pool is exhausted and
rolls over. The last allocated phantom port WWN is persistently stored. If the
switch is disabled, phantom port WWNs are not returned to the pool until the
system reboots, because the phantom switch might still be accessible through
other switches. Across the switch reboot, the allocation starts from the next usable
WWN base from the pool and not from the beginning.
Port Limits Displays resources for each physical port (EX_Port), which include the following:
Max Proxy Devices
The maximum versus the currently used proxy device.
Max NR_Ports The maximum versus the currently used NR_Port entries. Destination NR_Port
entries are stored at every physical port for routing decision purposes.
NOTES Only configured EX/VEX_Ports are displayed

fcrRouterPortCost 2
fcrRouterPortCost
Displays or sets an FC Router port cost.
SYNOPSIS fcrrouterportcost [[slot/]port] [cost]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set or display the cost of the FC Router ports. You can set the cost of the link to one
of two fixed values: 1000 or 10000. The option 0 sets the cost of the link to the default value based on
link type (EX/VEX). The router module chooses the router port path based on the minimum cost per
fabric ID (FID) connection. If multiple paths exist with the same minimum cost, the load is shared over
these paths.
Every inter-fabric link (IFL) has a default cost. For an EX_Port IFL, the default cost is 1000. For a
VEX_Port, the default cost is 10000. If the cost is set to 0, the link cost defaults to 1000 for an EX_Port
and to 10000 for a VEX_Port.
when used without operands, this command displays the current link costs for all ports on the switch.
NOTES Before setting the cost, ensure that admin is enabled for the EX_Port/VEX_Port with portCfgEXPort or
portCfgVEXPort. The cost can be set only on a disabled port.
The bandwidth of an inter-fabric link (IFL) is unrelated to its default cost. In other words, 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps,
4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps EX_Port IFLs have the same cost value of 1000 as their FC Router port.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port whose cost is to be
displayed or changed, followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port whose cost is to be displayed or changed. This
value is relative to the slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid
ports. If a port is not specified, this command displays the costs of all ports.
cost Specifies the new cost of the link connected to the specified port. This operand is
optional; if omitted, this command displays the cost of the specified port. The cost
of the link can be changed only when the specified port is disabled. Valid values
for cost are 0, 1000 or 10000.

fcrRouteShow 2
fcrRouteShow
Displays FC Router route information.
SYNOPSIS fcrrouteshow
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display routes through the FC Router backbone fabric to accessible destination
fabrics. An FC Router backbone fabric is the fabric that contains the E_Ports of this platform and routes
inter-fabric traffic between imported fabrics, creating a meta-SAN.
There are FC Router ports that reside on the backbone fabric. These ports are known as NR_Ports.
NR_Ports send and receive inter-fabric traffic. For the AP7420, there is a one-to-one relationship
between an NR_Port on a backbone fabric and an EX_Port. NR_Port technology enables EX_Ports to
exchange traffic across an intermediate fabric. NR_Ports are addressable entities on the backbone fabric
and have port IDs relevant to the backbone fabric.
Because cascaded backbone/intermediate fabrics are currently not supported, an NR_Port provides a
path to a single fabric with a single FC Router protocol cost. Multiple NR_Ports can provide paths to the
same destination fabric.
"No routes found" is displayed if there is no route information available at this FC Router. There is no
route information available if no EX_Ports are configured at this FC Router.
The output includes:
Destination Fabric ID The destination fabric.
NR_Port PID The port ID of the NR_Port. The port ID is relevant only on the backbone fabric.
This NR_Port has a route to the destination fabric identified by the "Destination
Fabric ID" column.
FCRP Cost The FC Router protocol cost (for routing decisions) for this NR_Port. The FCRP
cost is the same (1000) for all NR_Ports.
WWN of the Principal Switch in the Dest. Fabric
The world wide name of the principal switch in the destination fabric.
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.

fcrXlateConfig
2
fcrXlateConfig
Configures a translate (xlate) domain's domain ID and state of persistence for both the EX_Port-attached
fabric and the backbone fabric.
SYNOPSIS fcrxlateconfig
fcrxlateconfig importedFID exportedFID preferredDomainID
fcrxlateconfig --remove | -r importedFID exportedFID
fcrxlateconfig --enable persistxd
fcrxlateconfig --disable persistxd
fcrxlateconfig --show stalexd importedFID
fcrxlateconfig --delete stalexd importedFID staleXlateDomainID
fcrxlateconfig --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display a translate (xlate) domain ID or change the preferred domain ID and its
state of persistence.
A translate domain is a phantom domain created by an FC Router. FC Routers emulate proxy devices
representing real devices in remote fabrics. These proxy devices are emulated to be connected to
translate domains. Translate domains are presented to a fabric as residing topologically behind front
phantom domains (domains created by an EX_Port). In the case of backbone fabrics, translate domains
are topologically behind an E_Port. In every EX_Port-attached edge fabric and backbone fabric, there
can be a translate domain for every FC Router-accessible remote fabric.
During a fabric build, the translate domain requests a domain ID from the principal switch in the
EX_Port-attached edge fabric. The domain ID requested is the preferred domain ID. You can set the
preferred domain ID when the translate domain is not active and is persistently saved. The principal
switch attempts to provide the translate domain with the requested domain ID, but it may not provide it if
there are domain ID conflicts with other domains in the fabric. If the requested domain ID (such as the
preferred domain ID) is unavailable, the domain ID assignment is completely at the discretion of the
principal switch. The assignment domain ID is persistently stored and is used as the preferred domain ID
in the future.
By default, FCR creates the translate domain for a remote fabric if a valid persistent translate domain ID
is configured in the local fabric, even if no devices are imported or exported across the edge fabrics.
Disabling the persistxd parameter prevents the xlate domain from being created. Enabling the
persistxd parameter from a disabled state re-enables the FCR default behavior.
If the remote edge fabric becomes unreachable, the translate domains created in other edge fabrics for
this remote edge fabric become stale. Use the --show stalexd option to identify translate domains that
have become stale, and delete them in a nondisruptive manner with the --delete stalexd option.
When executed without operands, fcrxlateconfig displays for each translate domain the imported FID,
the exported FID, the domain ID and the xlate WWN.

fcrXlateConfig 2
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.
Information displayed is not related to the entire backbone. The FC Router displays only connections to
an edge fabric for which there are translate domain IDs. Any changes you intend to make using this
command should be issued on the switches to which the edge fabrics are directly attached. In a Virtual
Fabric environment, this is the base switch.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
fcrxlateconfig Sets the preferred domain ID (1-239) to preferredDomainID for the translate
phantom domain and saves the configuration persistently. The translate domain
must be inactive to set the preferred domain ID. The following operands are
required:
importedFID Specifies the fabric ID (1 through 128) of the fabric that contains the translate
domain.
exportedFID Specifies the fabric ID (1 through 128) of the remote fabric represented by this
translate domain.
preferredDomainID
Specifies the preferred domain ID (1 through 239) of the translate phantom
domain.
--remove | -r Removes the preferred domain ID of the translate phantom domain. The translate
domain must be inactive to remove the preferred domain ID. The following
operands are required:
importedFID Specifies the fabric ID (1 through 128) of the fabric that contains the translate
domain.
exportedFID Specifies the fabric ID (1 through 128) of the remote fabric represented by this
translate domain.
preferredDomainID
Specifies the preferred domain ID (1 through 239) of the translate phantom.
--enable persistxd Enables translate domain persistence. When persistxd is enabled, the translate
domain is created based on the persistent translate domain ID configuration. If a
valid persistent translate domain ID is configured for a given importedFID and
exportedFID pair, a translate domain for the exportedFID is created, even if no
devices need to be imported or exported across the edge fabrics represented by
importedFID and exportedFID. By default, persistxd is enabled.
--disable persistxd Disables translate domain persistence. When persistxd is disabled, the translate
domain is not created, even if a valid persistent translate domain ID is configured
for the importedFID and exportedFID pair, so long as no devices are imported or
exported across the edge fabrics represented by importedFID and exportedFID.
Once devices need to be imported or exported across the edge fabrics, the
translate domain is created.

fipsCfg 2
fipsCfg
Configures FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) mode.
SYNOPSIS fipscfg --enable [fips | selftests | bootprom | dh | sha256]
[-nowarn]
fipscfg --disable [selftests | bootprom | dh | sha256]
[-nowarn]
fipscfg --zeroize [-nowarn]
fipscfg --show | --showall
fipscfg --force fips
fipscfg --verify fips
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure FIPS mode on the switch. In this mode, only FIPS-compliant algorithms
are allowed. As part of FIPS 140-2 level-2 compliance, passwords, shared secrets and the private keys
used in SSL/TLS, system login, etc., need to be zeroized. Power-up self tests are executed when the
switch is powered on to check for the consistency of the algorithms implemented on the switch.
This command prompts for confirmation before FIPS configuration changes take effect. Specifying no
cancels the operation. The -nowarn option overrides the prompting.
NOTES Certain services and functions, such as FTP, HTTP, remote procedure calls (RPC), root account, boot
prom access, etc., must be blocked before the system can enter FIPS mode.
LDAP should not be configured while FIPS is enabled.
The system must be rebooted for FIPS mode changes to take effect.
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information on configuring your system for FIPS 140-2
level-2 compliance.
FIPS mode cannot be modified through configDownload.
FIPS is not supported on all platforms. For FIPS-compliant hardware, refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide.
In a Virtual Fabric environment, FIPS is treated as chassis-wide configuration and applies to all logical
switches in the chassis. Chassis permissions are required to configure FIPS.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--help Prints command usage.
--disable selftests [-nowarn]
Disables selftests mode.
--enable [fips | selftests] [-nowarn]
Enables FIPS or selftests mode. Selftests must be enabled before FIPS mode is
enabled.

--force fips This option enables FIPS mode even if prerequisites are not met, except under
the following two conditions:
•In a dual-CP system if HA is not in sync between the two CPs.
•If selftests is in a disabled state.
--verify fips Scans the prerequisites for enabling FIPS and print the failure/success cases.
--disable | --enable bootprom [-nowarn]
Disables or enables the Boot Programmable Read-Only Memory (Boot PROM) on
the switch. Boot PROM access is blocked in FIPS mode. Disabling Boot PROM
requires root permission. Enabling Boot PROM does not require root permission.
--disable | --enable dh [-nowarn]
Removes or configures all the Diffie hellman specific SSH configurations on both
the SSH server and client configuration, and restarts the SSH server. This
command is supported only in FIPS mode
--disable | --enable sha256 [-nowarn]
Configures the hash as SHA1 (for disable command) or SHA256 for signature
generation and verification in both the SSH server and client configuration, and
restarts the SSH server. This command is supported only in FIPS mode

firmwareCommit
2
firmwareCommit
Commits switch firmware.
SYNOPSIS firmwarecommit
DESCRIPTION Use this command to commit a firmware download to a CP. This command copies an updated firmware
image to the secondary partition and commits both partitions of the CP to an updated version of the
firmware. This must be done after each firmware download and after the switch has been rebooted and a
sanity check is performed to make sure the new image is fine.
For switches that have nonvolatile memory set into two equal partitions, the primary partition is the where
the system boots from; the secondary partition is where a copy of the firmware is stored, in case the
primary partition is damaged.
To maintain the integrity of the firmware image in the nonvolatile memory, the firmwareDownload
command updates the secondary partition only. When firmwareDownload completes successfully and
the CP is rebooted, the system switches the primary partition (with the old firmware) to the secondary,
and the secondary partition (with the new firmware) to the primary.
The default behavior of the firmwareDownload command is to automatically run the firmwareCommit
command after the reboot. If you decide to disable the autocommit option when running
firmwareDownload, you must execute one of the following two commands after the CP is rebooted:
•firmwareCommit copies the primary partition (with new firmware) to the secondary and commits the
new firmware to both partitions of the CP.
•firmwareRestore copies the secondary partition (with the old firmware) to the primary and backs out
of the new firmware download. The firmwareRestore command can be run only if autocommit was
disabled during the firmware download. Autocommit can be disabled only when you run
firmwareDownload in single mode.
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.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to download switch firmware from an FTP or SSH server or local NFS directory to
nonvolatile storage. Switch firmware can also be downloaded from an external USB device on platforms
that support USB.
The new firmware is downloaded as a bundle of packages. Package names are defined in a *.plist file
along with other firmware information (time stamp, platform code, version, etc.). These packages are
made available periodically to add features or to remedy defects. Contact customer support to obtain
information about available firmware versions.
On enterprise-class platforms, this command, by default, downloads the firmware image to both control
processors (CPs) in rollover mode to prevent disruption to application services. This operation depends
on High Availability (HA) support. If HAis not available, use the -s option to upgrade the CPs one at a
time.
390 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
firmwareDownload
2
All systems supported by this firmware have two partitions of nonvolatile storage (primary and
secondary) to store two firmware images. This command always downloads the new image to the
secondary partition and then swaps partitions so the secondary partition becomes the primary.
By default, firmwareDownload reboots the system and activates the new image. Finally, the command
performs a firmwareCommit automatically to copy the new image to the other partition. In systems with
blade processors (BPs), after the new CP firmware is downloaded to the system and activated, the BP
firmware is downloaded to the BP processors if there is a mismatch between the BP and CP firmware.
By default, firmwareDownload performs a full install, autoreboot, and autocommit. These modes are
selectable only in single CP (-s) mode, in which case autoreboot is OFF by default.
For each standalone switch in your fabric, complete all firmware download changes before issuing the
firmwareDownload command on the next switch to ensure a nondisruptive download.
If firmwareDownload is interrupted due to an unexpected reboot as a result of a software error or power
failure, the command automatically recovers the corrupted secondary partition. Wait for the recovery to
complete before starting another firmware download.
NOTES Firmware download and subsequent POST failure may occur on some platforms, if the firmware commit
operation coincides with the execution of POST. The recommended work around is to disable POST
(diagDisablePost) before you initiate a firmware download and re-enable POST (diagEnablePost) after
the firmware commit operation has completed.
Firmware download procedures may vary depending on which Fabric OS version you are migrating from.
See the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for restrictions on changing Fabric OS versions.
On certain occasions, you may see messages in the console output of firmwareDownload. These are
internal messages generated by the Linux utilities. You can safely ignore these messages. For relevant
Brocade-generated firmware download messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference(SULB
module).
To correlate Brocade blade names with blade IDs, use the slotShow command.
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.
OPERANDS The following operands are optional. When invoked without operands, the command goes into interactive
mode.
-U Downloads the firmware from an attached USB device. This option is valid only on
platforms that support a USB port. Refer to your specific Hardware Reference
Guide for details. The USB device must be enabled prior to firmware download
with the usbStorage command. Firmware must be stored under the default
firmware directory in the USB file system. On a dual-CP chassis, the USB device
must be attached to the active CP. When downloading firmware from a USB
device, the -p option is ignored.
-s Enables single-CP mode. This mode supports selectively enabling or disabling a
full install, autoreboot, and autocommit on bladed and nonbladed systems. On
enterprise-class platforms, this mode supports upgrading a single CP. When
downloading the main Fabric OS firmware, this option disables autoreboot, unless
overridden by the -b option.
-b Enables autoreboot mode. When single CP mode is enabled and this operand is
not specified, reboot must be run manually to activate the downloaded image. If
autoreboot mode is enabled, the switch reboots automatically after the firmware
has been downloaded.
Fabric OS Command Reference 391
53-1003108-01
firmwareDownload 2
-n Disables autocommit mode. When autocommit mode is disabled, the
firmwareCommit command must be executed manually to propagate the
downloaded image to both partitions of the storage device.
host Specify a valid FTP or SSH server name or IP address. IPV4 and IPv6 addresses
are supported. The firmware is downloaded from the specified host. If a host is not
specified, the firmware is considered accessible on a local directory. To mention
an FTP server by name, a DNS server must first be set up with the dnsConfig
command. If DNS is enabled and a server name is specified, firmwareDownload
automatically determines whether IPv4 or IPv6 should be used.
user Specify a user name for FTP or SSH server access. This operand can be omitted,
if the firmware is accessible on a local directory, a USB device, or by anonymous
FTP server access. A user name other than "anonymous" is required for SSH
server access.
pfile Specify a fully qualified path for the firmware pfile. Absolute path names may be
specified using forward slashes (/).
passwd Specify a password. This operand can be omitted, if the firmware is accessible
through a local directory or an attached USB device, or if no password is required
by the FTP server. This operand is required when accessing an SSH server. In
Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later, you can omit the password if the switch is configured as
follows:
•The switch must be configured with public key authentication. Refer to the
sshUtil help page for more information.
•You select a secure protocol (SCP or SFTP).
•The private key is installed on the switch, and the public key is exported to the
remote host. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for configuration
procedures.
-p scp | ftp | sftp Specify the file transfer protocol. Valid values are ftp (file transfer protocol), sftp
(secure file transfer protocol), and scp (secure copy protocol). Values are not
case-sensitive. If -p is not specified, firmwareCommit determines the protocol
automatically by checking the config.security parameter.
-a fos | sas | application
Specify the type of firmware to be downloaded. Accepted values are fos, sas, or
any valid application name. Values are not case-sensitive. This operand is no
longer supported as of Fabric OS v7.0.0.
-t slot[,slot]... Specify the target slots for the firmware download. Valid values are a list of slot
numbers separated by commas.
-c Disables version compatibility checking. By default, firmwareDownload checks if
the firmware being downloaded is compatible with other running firmware images
in the system. If the firmware version is not compatible, firmwareDownload fails.
If this option is specified, version compatibility checking is disabled.
392 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
firmwareDownload

-e Removes all of the installed SA images in the system during SAS firmware
download. By default, downloading a SAS image does not remove the installed
SA images. If this option is specified, the installed SA images are removed. This
option is only valid with the -a sas option. This operand is no longer supported as
of Fabric OS v7.0.0.
-o Bypasses the checking of Coordinated HotCode Load (HCL). On single CP
systems in InterOp fabrics, the HCL protocol is used to ensure data traffic is
notdisrupted during firmware upgrades. This option allows firmwareDownload to
continue even if HCL is not supported in the fabric or the protocol fails. Using this
option may cause traffic disruption for some switches in the fabric.This operand is
no longer supported as of Fabric OS v7.0.0.
DIAGNOSTICS The command checks the network connection and other system parameters before initiating
firmwareDownload. It may fail if at least one of the following conditions is encountered:
•The host is not reachable from the switch.
•The user does not have permission on the host.
•The password is not specified correctly.
•Indicated firmware does not exist on the host, or is not in the right format, or is corrupted.
•The FTP or SSH service is not running on the host.
•The platform is not supported by the firmware indicated.
•The USB device may not be plugged in correctly. On standalone switches, the device must be
plugged into the switch USB port. On enterprise-class platforms, the USB device must be plugged
into the Active CP
•The USB device is not enabled. Use the usbStorage command on the switch to enable the USB
device. On enterprise-class platforms, the command must be run on the Active CP to enable the
USB device.
For additional system messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference.
EXAMPLES To download the firmware to both CPs on a dual-CP chassis with an attached USB device (You would
execute the same command on a single-CP switch with USB support. Output may vary depending on
platform.):

DESCRIPTION Use this command to perform the following functions:
•Create a flow
•Activate or deactivate features for a flow
•Clear the data collected for a particular feature of a flow
•Change the control parameters for a feature or a flow
•Display the flow statistics
•Delete a flow
Each of these functions is documented in a separate section that includes function, synopsis, description,
operands, and examples.
A flow is a set of related Fibre Channel (FC) frames or packets that share similar traits, such as an
ingress port, egress port, or frame options that can uniquely differentiate one set of related frames or
packets from a different set of frames. A flow is defined by a combination of ingress port, egress port,
source device, and destination device parameters. Flow Vision supports Flow Monitor, Flow Generator,
and Flow Mirror features to monitor, simulate, and capture the network traffic respectively. You can create
up to 512 flows on Brocade director and 128 flow on switch-based system. For more information on Flow
Vision, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
NOTES This command requires either a Fabric Vision license or a Fabric Watch and an Advanced Performance
Monitoring licenses.
The Port Mirror or Advanced Performance Monitor with Flow Vision are mutually exclusive.
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

flow 2
FUNCTION Creating a flow
SYNOPSIS flow --create flow_name -feature feature_list
port_options frame_options [config_options]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to create a flow and by default activate the flow for the specified features. This
command validates the flow definition before creating a flow. If the flow definition is not supported by any
specified feature or if the flow definition is a duplicate of an existing active flow, the operation will
terminate with an appropriate error message. For more information on duplicate flows, refer to the Fabric
OS Administrator's Guide.
The following rules apply for creating a flow:
•You must specify at least one port options (-ingrport or -egrport) but not both.
•You must specify the source device (-srcdev), the destination device (-dstdev), or both. The source
device and the destination device can be learned using a wildcard ("*").
•The ingress port and egress port must reside in the local switch.
•The source device and destination device can reside either in the local or remote switch.
•You can create 512 flows on a Brocade director and 128 flows on switch-based system. Note that
each flow discovered when using "*" as a source device or destination device will count as one of
these flows. These system-discovered flows will impact the number of user-defined flows allowed to
be active.
•The configuration options -noactivate, -noconfig, and -bidir are optional.
•You can create up to 64 monitor flows and four generator flows per port.
•You can activate one mirror flow per chassis.
OPERANDS The --create command has the following operands:
flow_name Specifies the name of the flow. Each flow name must be a unique string
composed of a maximum of 20 alphanumeric or underscore characters. The flow
name is case-insensitive and is always stored as lowercase.
-feature feature_list Specifies a comma-separated list of features to activate for the flow. Specify "all"
to activate all features for a flow. Valid values for feature_list include the following:
monitor Activates the Flow Monitor feature for a flow. The Flow Monitor feature monitors
and provides statistics for the specified flow.
The following configuration considerations apply for the Flow Monitor feature:
•The ingress port and egress port can be an SIM Port, F_Port, E_Port, or
EX_Port (Gen 5 port) on the local switch. The ingress port must be a Gen 5
port and egress port can be a Gen 4 port or Gen 5 port. The SIM Port must be
a Gen 5 port.
•VE_Port, VEX_Port, FCoE ports, and GigE are not supported.
•The source device and destination device can be a host or target switch, or a
wildcard ("*"). Using the wildcard ("*") enables Flow Vision to learn (discover)
all flows on an F_Port and displays statistics for each learnt flow. The learning
mode is supported only on Gen 5 F_Ports and trunked F_Ports.

•You can use WWN or Fibre Channel ID (FCID) for the -srcdev and -dstdev
operands when creating Flow Monitor on EX_Ports. If the Flow Monitor
feature is configured on the ingress port using FCID addressing mode, you
must specify the real SID of the source device and the proxy ID of the
destination device. If the Flow Monitor feature is configured on the egress
port using FCID addressing mode, you must specify the proxy ID of the
source device and real DID of the destination device.
•Inter Fabric Link (IFL) flows can be monitored only on EX_Ports in a Fibre
Channel router (FCR).
•You can activate the Flow Monitor feature for a maximum of 64 flows per port.
•Access Gateway (AG) mode is supported
generator Activates the Flow Generator feature for a flow. The Flow Generator is a traffic
flow diagnostics feature that generates traffic at line rate in the fabric to validate
connectivity, hardware components, and network performance. You must
configure the ingress or egress ports and the source and destination devices to be
SIM ports before activating a flow using the Flow Generator feature.
You can modify the frame size and payload pattern using the --control options
after creating the flow.
The following configuration considerations apply for the Flow Monitor feature:
•The Flow Generator feature is not supported on a base switch or ICL port.
•AG mode is not supported.
•You can activate the Flow Generator feature on four flows per port.
•The -frametype, -lun, and -bidir options are not supported with the Flow
Generator feature.
mirror Activates the Flow Mirror feature for a flow. The Flow Mirror captures network
traffic in a flow and sends it to the switch CPU for traffic analysis. This feature
mirrors only the flows that are in active state. The logging mechanism of the
frames can be modified by using the --control -enable_wrap | -disable_wrap
options.
For both switch-based system and a chassis-based system, a maximum of 256
frames per second are mirrored. A maximum of 1280 frames are stored for
switch-based systems and 5120 frames are stored for chassis-based systems.
The following configuration considerations apply for the Flow Mirror feature:
•The ingress port or the egress port must be an F_Port, which is 8G or less, on
the local switch.
•The Flow Mirror feature is supported only on Gen 5 ports.
•EX_Ports, XISL ports, DISL ports, E_Ports, trunked E_Ports, and trunked
F_Ports are not supported.
•AG mode is not supported.
•The Flow Mirror feature can be active on only one flow per chassis.
port_options Specifies the options to configure the ingress or egress ports.
-ingrport port Specifies the ingress port. The port can be in either [slot/]port or D,I (Domain,
Index) format depending on the port mode configured using the -portIdMode
operand.

53-1003108-01
flow 2
-egrport port Specifies the egress port. The port can be in either [slot/]port or D,I format
depending on the port mode configured using the -portIdMode operand.
The -ingrport and -egrport options are mutually exclusive; that is, you can
specify only one of the options. The learning mode ("*") is not supported.
frame_options Specifies the options that represent the content of the FC frame or attributes of the
frame.
-srcdev device_idSpecifies the 3-byte source ID of the originator device. The device_id can be in
PID or PWWN format depending on the device ID mode configured using the
-deviceIdMode operand. The PID format is 0xDDAAPP, where DD is the Domain
ID, AA is the Area ID and PP is the AL_PA ID. The PWWN format is
"XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX". Specify "*" to enumerate all originator devices.
-dstdev device_idSpecifies the 3-byte destination ID of the destination device. The device_id can be
in PID or PWWN format depending on the device ID mode configured using the
-deviceIdMode operand. The PID format is 0xDDAAPP, where DD is the Domain
ID, AA is the Area ID and PP is the AL_PA ID. The PWWN format is
"XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX". Specify "*" to enumerate all destination devices.
-lun LUN_id Specifies the LUN identification in decimal or hexadecimal (2-byte value) format.
The valid range for LUN_id is from 0 through 65535 (0x0000 to 0xFFFF). The
LUN parameter includes the addressing method and fields associated with the
respective addressing method. If the most significant byte (MSB) is not specified
in the flow definition, 0x00 is used. This operand is not supported by the Flow
Generator feature.
-frametype type Specifies the predefined frame type. Valid values for type include the following:
SCSI, SCSIRead, SCSIWrite, SCSIRW, SCSI2Reserve, SCSI3Reserve,
scsicmdsts, ABTS, BAACC, SCSI2Release, SCSI3Release, SCSITur,
SCSI2ReserveRelease, SCSI3ReserveRelease, SCSIGoodStatus,
SCSICheckStatus, SCSIResvConflict, SCSIInquiry, SCSIXferrdy, and BARJT.
This operand is not supported by the Flow Generator feature.
config_options Specifies the flow configuration options.
-bidir Configures the features to act on both incoming and outgoing directions on
bidirectional traffic. For example, the Flow Mirror feature mirrors the frames on
both directions: traffic originating from the source device and traffic that is
destined to the source device. This operand is not supported by the Flow
Generator feature.
-noactivate Allows a flow to be created, but suppresses activation of a flow.
-noconfig Overrides the default behavior, which automatically saves the flow in the
persistent configuration when you create a flow. The flow will be lost when the
system is rebooted.

fmmonitor --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure, install, and display frame monitors across port ranges on a switch. This
command supports predefined and user-defined names for frame types defined by their offset, bit mask,
and frame values. For each frame type you can configure a threshold and specify one or more alert
mechanisms, such as RAS log, SNMP trap and email.
Frame monitors count the number of frames transmitted through a port that match specific values in the
first 64 bytes of the frame. Because the entire Fibre Channel frame header and many upper protocol (for
example, SCSI) headers fall within the first 64 bytes of a frame, frame monitors can detect different types
of traffic transmitted through a port. Each frame monitor keeps a timestamp of its last refresh. It also
keeps a generation count, which is incremented each time the monitor is cleared.
Frame monitors generate alerts whenever the frame count for a certain frame type crosses the threshold
configured for that frame type. You can configure high thresholds for every frame type, specify actions to
be taken when the threshold is exceeded, and configure how often the data are sampled. When you
create a new frame type without specifying the events, a generic filter monitor configuration for
generating events is applied.
The fmMonitor command supports basic Fabric Watch configurations for frame monitors. Use thConfig
with the FILTER class for more advanced configurations.
When you create, add, or delete a monitor, the changes are saved persistently by default. Use the
-nosave option with --create, --addmonitor, and --delmonitor to override the default behavior.
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.
The number of monitors supported per port is platform-specific. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's
Guide for more information.
Fabric OS Command Reference 417
53-1003108-01
fmMonitor 2
This command requires an Advanced Performance Monitoring license. A Fabric Watch license is
optional. Without a Fabric Watch license, you cannot use the alert mechanism, but you can still configure
frame monitors and observe the counters.
Frame Monitor types and bit patterns are not case sensitive.
This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, mirror ports, GbE ports,
and FCoE ports.
OPERANDS --create Creates a user-defined frame type to be monitored. A frame type is defined by a
unique name and bit pattern.
--change Modifies an existing frame type configuration.
frame_type Specifies a name for the frame type. The name is a user-defined string of up to 10
characters. Strings exceeding the character limit are truncated. The string must be
included in double quotation marks. Spaces are not permitted. This operand is
required with all configuration and display options.
Use the --change option to modify an existing frame type that you created earlier
by changing, for example, the bit pattern, the ports where the frames should be
monitored, or the alert mechanism. You can also use the --change option to
modify one of the predefined frame types supported with this command. You can
modify the ports where the frames should be monitored or change the default
threshold and alert mechanism. You cannot change the bit pattern of a predefined
frame type. Frame Types are not case sensitive. They are capitalized here for
readability only.
Predefined frame types include the following :
ABTS Specifies a frame of type ABTS (Abort Sequence Basic Link Service
command) with a bit pattern of "4,0xFF,0x81;12,0xFF,0x0;"
BA_ACC Specifies a frame of type BA_ACC (Abort Accept) with a bit pattern of
"4,0xFF, 0x84;12,0xFF,0x00;"
IP Specifies a frame of type IP with a bit pattern of "12,0xFF,0x05;".
SCSI Specifies a frame of type SCSI with a bit pattern of "12,0xFF,0x08;".
SCSI_READ Specifies a frame of type SCSI Read with a bit pattern of
"12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06; 40,0xFF,0x08,0x28;".
SCSI_WRITE Specifies a frame of type SCSI Write with a bit pattern of
"12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06; 40,0xFF,0x08,0x0A,0x2A;".
SCSI_RW Specifies a frame of type SCSI Write with a bit pattern of
"12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06; 40,0xFF,0x08,0x28,0x0A,0x2A;".
SCSI2_RESERVE
Specifies a frame of type SCSI-2 Reserve with a bit pattern of
"12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF, 0x06;40,0xFF,0x16,0x56;".
418 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
fmMonitor
2
SCSI3_RESERVE
Specifies a frame of type SCSI-3 Reserve with a bit pattern of
"12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06; 40,0xFF,0x5F;41,0xFF,0x01;".
-pat bit_pattern Specifies a unique combination of values in the first 64 bytes of a frame. The
syntax for the bit patterns is as follows: "offset,bitmask, value;[offset,
bitmask,value;] ...;" for example, "12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06;40,0xFF,0x08,
0x28;". This example monitors for SCSI read command traffic transmitted from a
port by filtering on offset 12 with a value of 0x08 (SCSI-FCP), on offset 4 with
value 0x06 (unsolicited command), and on offset 40 with values of 0x08 or 0x28
(read command). Each pattern must end with a semicolon (;) and the combined
pattern must be enclosed in double quotation marks. This operand is required with
the --create option. It is optional with the --change option.
The pattern components are as follows:
Offset Specifies the offset within the frame. Offset 0 is the first byte of the
start-of-frame (SOF) delimiter, and offset 4 is the first byte of the frame
header. The offset must be in decimal format. Valid values for offset are 0,
and 4 to 63. Offset 0 is a special case that can be used to monitor the first
four bytes SOFx frames. The end-of--frame (EOF) delimiter cannot be
monitored. A maximum of six offsets can be specified for each filter, and each
offset can match up to four values. The count is incremented by one, if a
frame has a matching value in all the offsets specified by the filter.
bitmask Specifies the mask value to be applied to frame contents.
value Specifies the values that need to be captured from the frame contents.
In SOFx frames the offset is specified as 0x0; The value is specified as one of
the following. For example, the value of 0x6 matches frames of type SOFi3:
0SOFf
1SOFc1
2SOFi1
3SOFn1
4SOFi2
5SOFn2
6SOFi3
7SOFn3

fmMonitor 2
-port port_list Specifies one or more ports on which to install the monitor for the specified frame
type. This operand is optional; if omitted, the monitor is installed on all eligible
ports. A port list can consist of the following:
•One or more single ports, preceded by a slot number followed by a slash (/)
on bladed systems. Multiple ports must be separated by a comma, for
example, 8 or 5/8 or 3,5,8.
•One or more port ranges where the beginning and end port are separated by
a dash, for example, 8-13 or 5/8-13, or 3/4-9. A port range cannot span
multiple slots.
-highth value Sets the high threshold value for the specified frame monitor. This operand is
optional. High threshold values and defaults are platform-specific. Refer to the
Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide for more information.
-timebase time_base
Specifies the time interval between two samples to be compared. Valid intervals
include the following:
day Samples are compared once a day.
hour Samples are compared once every hour.
minute Samples are compared once every minute.
-action value Specifies the action triggered if the frame count for the specified frame type
exceeds the configured high threshold. Valid actions include snmp, raslog, email
or none. This operand is optional; if omitted, defaults are used (snmp, raslog).
Note that fmMonitor only supports specification of high thresholds and the
actions taken when the frame count exceeds the configured high threshold. Use
the thConfig command with the filter class operand to configure and display other
Fabric Watch thresholds, and the actions to be taken when the counters fall below
or in-between configured Fabric Watch thresholds.
-nosave Overrides the default behavior, which automatically saves the frame monitor and
port configuration persistently when you create, modify, or delete a monitor. When
you specify -nosave, the port configuration is not saved and will be erased upon
reboot. However, the frame monitor configuration (type, bit pattern, thresholds
etc.) will still be saved persistently. This operand is valid only with the --create,
--addmonitor, and --delmonitor options. The CFG column in the show command
display indicates "not saved" when -nosave is specified; otherwise it indicates
"saved".
--save frame_type Saves the set of ports on which the specified frame type is monitored to the
persistent configuration. If a frame type is not specified, this command saves the
port configurations of all existing frame types. This operation removes the
configuration for ports not monitored.
--addmonitor frame_type -port port_list
Installs an existing frame monitor on the specified ports.
--delmonitor frame_type -port port_list
Removes an existing frame monitor from the specified ports.

--delete frame_type Deletes an existing frame type. This command removes the entire configuration,
including configured threshold and associated actions. It also removes any frame
monitors of the specified type from all ports. This operand is not valid with
predefined frame types.
--clear frame_type -port port_list
Clears the ports on which the specified frame type is monitored from the
persistent configuration.
--show Displays the specified frame type configuration. When used without operand, the
--show command displays the configured frame types along with their bit
patterns. The following operands are optional:
frame_type Displays the following information for the specified frame type: Port number,
Frame type, frame count, configured high threshold, configured alerts, time base
and configuration status (saved or N/A). The count field displays one of the
following:
•A decimal number indicates the number of frames of the specified type.
•N/A indicates that a frame monitor configuration exists, but it is not assigned
to any specific port.
•A dash ("-") indicates that a frame monitor is not installed on the port, but
there is a configuration for frame monitor on these ports.
This operand is optional; if omitted, this command lists all configured frame types
on the switch along with their bit patterns. The following operands are exclusive.
-port port_list Specifies the ports for which to display the frame type configurations. Refer to the
description above for valid values.
all Displays information for all ports and frame types.
-timeinterval interval
Displays the number of frames per second captured by the monitor during the
specified time interval. Values are in seconds. The time interval must be specified
in multiples of 5, for example, 5, 10, 15, or 20 seconds.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To create a custom frame type using default thresholds and report actions: The following custom frame
monitor checks all incoming frames at offset 17, applies a mask of 0x0FF to the byte, and looks for a
matching value of 0x07. It also monitors the incoming frames at offset 7, applies a mask of 0x0FF to the
byte, and looks for matching values of 0x4F or 0x01. The counter is incremented when the monitor
detects a frame where byte 17 is 0x07, and byte 7 is 0x4F or 0x01. The thresholds, alerting mechanism ,
action and threshold level for this custom frame type will be imported from a generic filter monitor
configuration.:
switch:admin> fmmonitor --create MyFrameMonitor \
-pat "17,0x0FF,0x07;7,0x0FF,0x4F,0x01"

fosConfig 2
fosConfig
Displays or modifies Fabric OS features.
SYNOPSIS fosconfig --enable feature
fosconfig --disable feature
fosconfig --show
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable a feature, or to display the current operating status of features on
a switch. This command can be run while the switch is online.
The following features are supported (refer to the Notes for limitations):
•FC Routing service (see fcrConfigure)
•iSCSI service (not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later).
•iSNS client service (not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later).
•Virtual Fabrics (see lfCfg and lsCfg )
•Ethernet switching service
NOTES The features described may not be supported on all platforms. If you attempt to enable a feature that is
not supported on your platform, an error message stating "Command not supported on this platform" is
displayed.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--enable feature Enables a feature on the switch. Valid values for feature include the following:
fcr Enables the FC Routing service on the switch. The FC Routing service is disabled
by default. Use fosConfig --show to determine if FCR is enabled or disabled,
When enabling FCR, you may encounter one of the following system messages:
"FC Routing service is in the process of being disabled, please try again after a
few minutes." This means that a command to disable the FC Routing service is
still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again.
"FC Routing service is already enabled." This means that the FC Routing service
is already enabled.
iSCSI Not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later.
iSNSC Not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later.
vf Enables Virtual Fabrics. By default, Virtual Fabrics are disabled. Before enabling
the Virtual Fabrics, ensure that there are no Administrative Domains (ADs) in
effect. Administrative Domains must be disabled before enabling Virtual Fabrics.
This command prompts for confirmation, because the chassis reboots after this
command is executed.
424 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
fosConfig
2
ethsw Enables the Ethernet switch service on the switch. The Ethernet switch service is
disabled by default. Enabling the Ethernet switch service does not disrupt the FC
traffic.
--disable feature Disables a feature on the switch. Valid values for feature include the following:
fcr Disables the FC Routing service on the switch. All enabled EX_Ports and
VEX_Ports on the switch must be offline for this command to succeed.
To use this command to disable the FC Routing service only instead of disabling
the switch, issue this command, then change the BB fabric ID using
fcrConfigure.
When disabling the FCR service, you may encounter the following system
messages:
"Please disable all EX/VEX_Ports first before running this command." This means
that there were EX_Ports or VEX_Ports online when this command was issued.
Take these ports offline and try the command again.
"FC Routing service is already disabled" -This means that the FC Routing service
is already disabled.
iSCSI Not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later.
iSNSC Not supported in Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later.
vf Disables Virtual Fabrics on the switch. This command prompts for confirmation,
because the chassis reboots after this command is executed.
ethsw Disables the Ethernet switch service. Ethernet switching is disabled by default.
This operation reboots the switch and is therefore disruptive.
--show Displays the current operating status of features on the switch.
EXAMPLES To display the operating status of the services on a Brocade 6510:
switch:admin> fosconfig --show
FC Routing service: disabled
iSCSI service: Service not supported on this Platform
iSNS client service: Service not supported on this Platform
Virtual Fabric: enabled
Ethernet Switch Service: Service not supported on this Platform
To disable the FC Routing service:
switch:admin> fosconfig --disable fcr

fosExec
Executes a command in a specified logical switch context.
SYNOPSIS fosexec --fid FID -cmd "cmd [args]"
fosexec --fid all [-force] -cmd "cmd [args]"
DESCRIPTION Use this command to execute any Fabric OS command on a specified logical switch context or on all
logical switches. The target logical switch is identified by its fabric ID (FID). When used with the --fid all
option, the specified command is executed in all logical switches.
The FIDs must be part of the FID permission list associated with the user account. If you execute
fosexec --fid all and you do not have permission to one or more of the logical switches (FIDs), the
command prompts for confirmation to continue with the execution of the command in the FIDs for which
you do have permission. You can override the prompt for confirmation with the -force option. Refer to
userConfig help for more information on logical switch access permissions.
Executing chassis-level commands through fosexec --fid all results in redundant output.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--fid FID Specifies the Fabric ID of the logical switch for which the command is executed.
--fid all Executes the specified command in all logical switch contexts configured on the
physical switch.
-force Executes the specified command on all logical switches in your permission list
without prompting for confirmation.
-cmd "cmd [args]" Specifies the command to be executed including command options if applicable.
The entire command string must be enclosed in double quotation marks.

frameLog 2
frameLog
Displays information about discarded frames.
SYNOPSIS framelog --disable
framelog --enable
framelog --clear
framelog --show [-txport [slot/]port]
[-rxport [slot/]port]
[-sid source_PID][-did destination_PID]
[-sfid fabric_ID] [-dfid fabric_ID>]
[-mode summary | dump] [-n num_items]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to disable or re-enable the frame log, and to display detailed information about the
discarded frames logged by the frame log. The frame log stores information about frames discarded due
to certain reasons. Frame log sees information about only 20 discarded frames per second per chip on
the chassis. The only discard reason currently supported is timeout.
When frame drops occur on a switch, the frame log can help you identify to which flows the dropped
frames belong and zero in on the affected applications by finding out the end-points of the dropped
frame.
Use the --show option to display detailed information about the discarded frames that match the filter
criteria provided by this command. The --show option supports two viewing modes: summary and dump
mode. In summary mode, the command aggregates similar frames (those that have the same log
timestamp, TX port, RX port, SID, DID, SFID and DFID) without displaying the raw frame contents. In
dump mode, the command displays the raw frame contents, but the frames are not aggregated in the
manner of the summary mode. In either mode, you can specify additional filters to customize the number
and properties of the frames for closer examination.
When viewed in summary mode, the frame log displays the following information:
Log timestamp The date and time when the frames described in this line of output were
discarded. This value is accurate to within one second, that is, the displayed
frames were not necessarily dropped at precisely the same time.
TX port Egress port where the frames were bound to exit the chassis. A port displayed as
-1 (or -1/-1 on slot-based systems) indicates an internal port.
RX port Ingress port where the frames entered the chassis. A port displayed as -1 (or -1/-1
on slot-based systems indicates an internal port.
SID Source port ID in hexadecimal PID format.
DID Destination port ID in hexadecimal PID format.
SFID Source Fabric ID
DFID Destination Fabric ID
430 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
frameLog
2
Type Reason for the frame discard. Frames can be discarded for a variety of reasons.
The only discard reason currently handled by the frame log is timeout.
Count The number of discarded frames logged in the frame log that have the log
timestamp, TX port, RX port, SID, DID, SFID and DFID values listed on this line of
output. Note that this count may be less than the actual number of such frames
discarded, because the frame log cannot log the details of all discarded frames.
When viewed in dump mode, the frame log displays the following information:
Log timestamp The date and time when the frames described in this line of output were
discarded.
TX port Egress port where the frames were bound to exit the chassis. A port displayed as
-1 (or -1/-1 on slot-based systems) indicates an internal port.
RX port Ingress port where the frames were bound to enter the chassis. A port displayed
as -1 (or -1/-1 on slot-based systems indicates an internal port.
Type Reason for the frame discard. Frames can be discarded for a variety of reasons.
The only discard reason currently handled by the frame log is timeout.
Frame contents The first 64 bytes of the frame contents in hexadecimal format.
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.
The Frame Log operation is chassis-wide.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--disable Disables logging of discarded frames, which is enabled by default. This command
clears the history of discarded frames and gathering of new information ceases.
When frame logging is disabled, only the --help and --enable operations are
permitted.
--enable Enables logging of discarded frames after the feature was disabled.
--clear Clears the stored history of discarded frames. This operation is permitted only
when the feature is enabled.
Fabric OS Command Reference 431
53-1003108-01
frameLog 2
--show Prints a listing of details about stored frames that match the specified filter criteria.
This operation is permitted only when the feature is enabled. You can specify one
or more of the following options to filter the output. When used without operands,
the --show command displays the unfiltered output. This option supports
specifying that the TX port or RX port of displayed frames should be a backend
port.
-txport [slot/]port Displays only the frames that were bound to exit by the specified egress port. The
-txport option accepts argument "-1" (for fixed-port switches) or "-1/-1" (for
modular switches). These stand for "any backend port". Using this notation, you
can select specifically those discarded frames that have a backend port in the TX
port field. Individual backend ports cannot be specified, only the quality of being a
backend port can be specified.
-rxport [slot/]port Displays only the frames that entered the chassis on the specified port. The
-rxport option accepts argument "-1" (for fixed-port switches) or "-1/-1" (for
modular switches). These stand for "any backend port". Using this notation, you
can select specifically those discarded frames that have a backend port in the RX
port field. Individual backend ports cannot be specified, only the quality of being a
backend port can be specified.
-sid source_PID Displays only the frames with the specified 24-bit source address in the FC
header. The port ID (PID) must be written in hexadecimal and must be prefixed by
0x.
-did destination_PID
Displays only the frames with the specified 24-bit destination address in the FC
header. The port ID (PID) must be written in hexadecimal and must be prefixed by
0x.
-sfid fabric_ID Displays only the frames with the specified fabric ID as the source fabric ID.
-sdfid fabric_ID Displays only the frames with the specified fabric ID as the destination fabric ID.
-mode summary | dump
Specifies the command output mode. In dump mode, the command prints the 64
bytes of frame contents. In summary mode, the frame contents are not displayed.
Summary mode is the default.
-n num_items Displays the specified number of items. In summary mode, an item is a record of
frames with the same values of log timestamp, TX port, RX port, SID, DID, SFID
and DFID. Note that more frames may be represented in the lines of output than
specified in the num_items value, because one line can aggregate multiple frames
in summary mode. In dump mode, each item represents a single frame. The
default value of num_items is 20. The maximum value in summary mode is 1200,
and in dump mode it is 12,000.
EXAMPLES To display eight lines of an unfiltered frame log view in summary mode:
switch:user> framelog --show -mode summary -n 8

fwMailCfg 2
fwMailCfg
Displays and configures Fabric Watch email alerts.
SYNOPSIS fwmailcfg
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display or modify the configuration and status of the Fabric Watch email alert on
the switch.
Switch elements monitored by Fabric Watch are divided into classes, and e-mail alerts are based on the
classes. Each class can configure up to five e-mail addresses as the alert message's receiver. Multiple
e-mail addresses must be separated by a comma. The e-mail addresses must conform to standard
syntax string@domain.suffix. Default domains are not automatically appended. Invalid e-mail addresses
are rejected. "NONE" is the default address and a valid input parameter.
In Access Gateway mode, only the following classes are supported.
•Environment class
• SFP class
• Port class
• F/FL Port (Optical) class
• F/FL Port (Copper) class (embedded platforms only)
• Resource class
For an e-mail alert to function correctly, add the CP0 and CP1 IP addresses and host names to DNS and
also set the domain name and name server. The ipAddrShow and dnsConfig commands can be used
to set and verify this information.
NOTES This command requires a Fabric Watch license.
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

fwSetToCustom 2
fwSetToCustom
Sets Fabric Watch thresholds and alarm levels to custom values.
SYNOPSIS fwsettocustom
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set threshold and alarm levels to custom values for all Fabric Watch classes and
areas.
Fabric Watch uses two types of settings: factory default settings and user-defined custom settings.
•Factory default settings are automatically enabled. These settings vary depending on hardware
platform, and cannot be modified.
•For some Fabric Watch parameters, you can create custom configurations to suit your unique
environment.
The fwSetToCustom command allows you to switch from default to custom settings. The command
assumes that a set of user-defined thresholds have been configured prior to executing the
fwSetToCustom command. If no user-defined settings exist, this command reapplies the default values.
Use the advanced configuration option provided with the portThConfig, thConfig, and sysMonitor
commands to view and modify custom and default values for specified classes and areas in Fabric
Watch. For specific configuration procedures, refer to the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.
NOTES This command requires a Fabric Watch license.

haDump
Displays High Availability status information.
SYNOPSIS hadump
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display information about the status of the High Availability (HA) feature on a switch
or a chassis. This command displays the following information:
•Time Stamp
•Local CP state (slot number and CP ID)
•Remote CP state (slot number and CP ID)
•Type of recovery (warm or cold)
•High Availability (enabled or disabled)
•Heartbeat (up or down)
•Health of standby CP
•HA synchronization status
•IP and Fibre Channel addresses configured for the switch or chassis.
•Additional internal HA state information, subject to change.
The health of the standby CP is defined as follows:
Healthy The standby CP is running and the background health diagnostic has not detected
any errors.
Failed The standby CP is running, but the background health diagnostic has discovered
a problem with the blade. Check the logs to determine an appropriate course of
action. Failover is disabled until the standby CP is repaired. Information about the
failing device in the standby CP is displayed.
Unknown The standby CP health state is unknown because the standby CP does not exist,
heartbeat is down, or Health Monitor detects a configuration file error.
The High Availability synchronization status is defined as follows:
HA State synchronized
The system is currently fully synchronized. If a failover becomes necessary, it is
nondisruptive.
HA State not in sync The system is unable to synchronize the two control processors (CPs) because
the standby CP is faulty, an haSyncStop command was issued, or a system error
occurred. If a failover becomes necessary at this time, active CP reboots and the
failover is disruptive.

haFailover 2
haFailover
Forces the failover mechanism so that the standby control processor (CP) becomes the active CP.
SYNOPSIS hafailover
DESCRIPTION Use this command to force the failover mechanism to occur so that the standby CP becomes the active
CP. In case the active and standby CPs are not synchronized or the system is not in redundant mode, the
command aborts.
NOTES When High Availability (HA) synchronization is enabled and the CPs are in sync, the port traffic light does
not flash during the failover, even while traffic is continuing to flow.
This command is supported only on dual-CP systems.
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.
OPERANDS None
EXAMPLES To force the failover of the active CP to the standby CP in the switch:
switch:admin> hafailover
Local CP (Slot 7, CP1): Active, Warm Recovered
Remote CP (Slot 6, CP0): Standby, Healthy
HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized
Warning: This command is being run on a redundant control processor(CP)

haShow
Displays control processor (CP) status.
SYNOPSIS hashow
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the control processor status. The display includes the following information:
•Local CP state (slot number and CP ID), warm or cold, recovering or recovered.
•Remote CP state (slot number and CP ID).
•High Availability (enabled or disabled).
•Heartbeat (up or down).
•Health of standby CP
•HA synchronization status
The health of the standby CP is defined as follows:
Healthy The standby CP is running and the background health diagnostic has not detected
any errors.
Failed The standby CP is running, but the background health diagnostic has discovered
a problem with the blade. Check the logs to determine the appropriate action.
Failover is disabled until the standby CP is repaired. Information about the failing
device in the standby CP is displayed.
Unknown The standby CP health state is unknown because of one of the following reasons:
the standby CP does not exist, Heartbeat is down, or the Health Monitor has
detected a configuration file error.
The High Availability synchronization status is defined as follows:
HA State synchronized
The system is currently fully synchronized. If a failover becomes necessary, it is
nondisruptive.
HA State not in sync The system is unable to synchronize the two CPs. This may be caused by one or
more of the following conditions:
•The haFailover command was issued. In this case the "HA State not in sync"
state is transitory.
•The standby CP is faulty.
• The haSyncStop command was issued.
•A system error occurred.
If a failover becomes necessary while the CPs are not in sync, the standby CP
reboots, and the failover is disruptive.
NOTES This command may not be supported on nonbladed systems.
Slot numbers for CP1 and CP0 vary depending on the hardware platform. On the Brocade DCX and DCX
8510-8, CP0 is in slot 6 and CP1 is in slot 7. On the Brocade DCX-4S, and DCX 8510-4, CP0 is in slot 4
and CP1 is in slot 5.
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

ifModeSet
2
ifModeSet
Sets the link operating mode for a network interface.
SYNOPSIS ifmodeset ["interface"]
ifmodeset interface -an [on | off] -speed [speed] -cap [full | half]
ifmodeset --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set the link operating mode for a network interface.
An operating mode is confirmed with a y or yes at the prompt. If the operating mode selected differs from
the current mode, the change is saved and the command exits.
Changing the link mode is not supported for all network interfaces or for all Ethernet network interfaces.
On the CP of a Brocade DCX or DCX-S4, this command supports eth0 and eth3 as interface
parameters. On all other platforms, only eth0 is supported.
When selecting autonegotiation, you can choose the specific link operating modes that are advertised to
the link partner. At least one common link operating mode must be advertised by both sides of the link.
When forcing the link operating mode, both sides of the link must be forced to the same mode. The link
does not work reliably if one side is set to autonegotiate and the other side is set to forced mode.
Exercise care when using this command. Forcing the link to an operating mode not supported by the
network equipment to which it is attached might result in an inability to communicate with the system
through its Ethernet interface. It is recommended that this command be used only from the serial console
port. When used through an interface other than the serial console port, the command displays a warning
message and prompts for verification before continuing. This warning is not displayed and you are not
prompted when the command is used through the serial console port.
For dual-CP systems, the ifModeSet command affects only the CP you are currently logged in to. To set
the link operating mode on the active CP, you must issue this command on the active CP; to set the link
operating mode on the standby CP, you must issue this command on the standby CP. During failover, the
link operating mode is retained separately for each CP, because the physical links might be set to
operate in different modes.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
"interface"Specify the name of the interface, optionally enclosed in double quotation marks.
When issued on a Brocade DCX or a DCX-S4 CP, valid interfaces are eth0 and
eth3. On all other platforms, only eth0 is supported.
-an Configures auto negotiation.
on | off Sets auto negotiation on or off.
-speed speed Configures the speed. You can configure 1000, 100, or 10 as the speed. Note that
1000 Mbps speed can be configured only when auto negotiation is on.
-capability Configures whether the capability of operation is full duplex or half duplex.

ifModeShow
Displays the link operating mode and MAC address for a network interface.
SYNOPSIS ifmodeshow interface
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the link operating mode and MAC address for a network interface.
On the CP of a Brocade DCX or DCX-S4, this command supports eth0 and eth3 as interface
parameters. On all other platforms, only eth0 is supported.
The CP on a Brocade DCX or DCX-S4 has two external physical Ethernet management ports, eth1 and
eth3. Both interfaces are bonded together to form a single logical interface, bond0.
The management port IP addresses are assigned to the logical interface, bond0. Link layer Ethernet
operations are applied to the physical interfaces, eth0 and eth3.
Ethernet bonding provides link layer redundancy using the active-standby failover model. The two
Ethernet ports must be part of the same subnet. By default, all traffic is transmitted over the active
Ethernet port, eth0. The second Ethernet port, eth3, acts as a standby interface and no traffic is
transmitted over it. When the active Ethernet port is disconnected, the alternate Ethernet port becomes
active. When the system reboots, the Ethernet port eth0 is always made active if it is connected.
When executed with the bond0 operand, ifModeShow displays the active Ethernet port
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operand:
interface Specifies the name of the interface, optionally enclosed in double quotation
marks. Valid interfaces include the following:
eth0 | eth3 Displays the link operating mode of the specified interface. The value eth3 is valid
only on the CP of a Brocade DCX or DCX-4S.
bond0 Displays the active Ethernet port. This operand is valid only on the CP of a DCX
or a DCX-S4.
EXAMPLES To display the link operating mode for the eth0 Ethernet interface:
switch:admin> ifmodeshow eth0
Link mode: negotiated 100baseTx-HD, link ok
MAC Address: 00:60:69:D0:24:40

iodReset
2
iodReset
Disables in-order delivery (IOD) on a switch.
SYNOPSIS iodreset
DESCRIPTION Use this command to disable in-order delivery enforcement on the local switch. IOD is disabled by
default, and can only be disabled after it has been enabled with the iodSet command. This command
disables the legacy IOD enforcement only.
Disabling IOD allows faster rerouting after a fabric topology change, but it may cause out-of-order
delivery of frames during fabric topology changes.
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.
OPERANDS None

iodSet 2
iodSet
Enables in-order delivery (IOD).
SYNOPSIS iodset
iodset --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enforce in-order delivery of frames during a fabric topology change.
In a stable fabric, frames are always delivered in order, even when the traffic between switches is shared
among multiple paths. However, when topology changes occur in the fabric (for instance, a link goes
down), traffic is rerouted around the failure and some frames might be delivered out of order. This
command ensures that frames are not delivered out-of-order, even during fabric topology changes. It
enforces a sufficient delay between the event that causes an existing path to be removed and the
establishment of a new path, so that frames are delivered in order. However, this also means that frames
are dropped during the delay, causing I/O failures.
When used without operands, iodSet enables in-order-delivery of frames on a switch (legacy IOD
behavior). Frame loss is unavoidable when a port goes down.
IOD is disabled by default. Use iodShow to display current settings. Use iodReSet to restore the default
setting.
NOTES You can no longer use this command to manage Lossless DLS. Use dlsSet instead. The following
command options are deprecated in Fabric OS v6.4.0 and later:
•iodset --enable -lossLessDls
•iodset --disable -lossLessDls
•iodset --show

DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the IP addresses on a switch, a control processor (CP), a blade
processor (BP), or a standalone application processor (AP). On platforms that support Logical Fabrics,
this command configures the IPv4 Fibre Channel addresses for the logical fabric IPFC network interface.
The IPFC (IP over Fibre Channel) protocol allows switches to send IP traffic over Fibre Channel rather
than through Ethernet connections.
This command supports an interactive legacy mode and a command line interface. Use the command
line interface to configure IPv6 addresses, to enable or disable stateless IPv6 autoconfiguration, to
assign a Fibre Channel IPv4 address and prefix to a logical switch IPFC network interface, and to
configure a service port on the CP blade of a Brocade DCX. When run interactively in legacy mode, this
command sets the Ethernet IPv4 address, subnet mask, and Gateway on a switch or a chassis.
Command usage depends on the type of IP address and on the platform on which the command is run.
Some of the platform- and IP address-specific features of the command are outlined below. For complete
details, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
Configuring IP Addresses using the command line interface
492 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
ipAddrSet
2
•The command accepts the -ipv6 command line syntax with the --add or --delete option on all
platforms that support IPv6 addresses. The --add option configures a single static IPv6 address and
prefix for the specified managed entity (chassis, CP, or AP). The --delete option deletes a static IPv6
address and prefix for the specified managed entity. On modular platforms, the command can be
executed only on the active CP.
-When using the command line syntax to add or delete IPv6 addresses, the managed entity is
identified only on modular platforms. To set the CP IPv6 address, use the -cpoption; to set the
IP address for the entire chassis, use the -chassis option.
-When using the command line syntax to add or delete IPv6 addresses on standalone platforms,
the implied entity is the single managed entity supported by the platform and must be left
unspecified.
-Additionally, the -eth0, -eth1, and -gate command line options are available with the --add or
--delete option on platforms with blade processors to set the BP Ethernet or Gateway
addresses. On a chassis with a blade processor the values for the blade in can be set from the
command line using the -slot option. The -slot option is not accepted in standalone application
processors with a hidden blade, such as the AP7600.
•Use the -auto and -noauto options to enable or disable stateless IPv6 autoconfiguration.
•Use the -ls option with appropriate arguments to set or delete the IPv4 Fibre Channel address and
prefix for the IPFC interface of a logical switch. In a Virtual Fabric environment, each logical fabric is
represented by a separate IPFC network interface. Each of these network interfaces can be
assigned a unique IPv4 FC address and prefix. The logical switches that make up a logical fabric are
identified by the fabric ID (FID) that is assigned to each of the logical switch instances.
When setting the IPFC interface of a switch that is not in Virtual Fabric mode, use the -ls option with
FID 128. FID 128 identifies the switch when Virtual Fabrics are disabled.
Setting IP addresses interactively (IPv4 Ethernet address only):
•To set the CP Ethernet IPv4 address, use the -cp option; to set the Ethernet IP address for the entire
chassis, use the -chassis option. When setting the chassis IP address, the command prompts for
the Ethernet IP address and Ethernet subnet mask. When setting the CP Ethernet IP address, the
command prompts for the host name, Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask, and Gateway IP
address. Valid switch and CP numbers depend on the platform on which the command is run. The
command must be executed on the active CP.
•On most standalone platforms (with the exception of the AP7600), ipAddrSet runs interactively if
invoked without operands. The command prompts for the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet
mask, and Gateway IP address. In addition, the command prompts for a specification of whether the
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) should be used to acquire the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet
subnet mask and Gateway IP address. Valid entries are "On" to enable DHCP and "Off" to disable it.
When DHCP is enabled, any user-configured Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask or
Gateway IP address is ignored.
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.
OPERANDS When used in command line mode, the following operands are supported:
-Ipv6 Specifies IP address type as static IPv6 including prefix as needed.
--add x:x:x:x:x:x:x/n
Sets the specified IPv6 address.
--delete [x:x:x:x:x:x:x/n]
Deletes the specified IPv6 address. If no address is specified, any existing IPv6
addresses and prefixes are deleted from the specified or implied entity.
Fabric OS Command Reference 493
53-1003108-01
ipAddrSet 2
-cp cp_number Specifies the CP on a chassis. Valid values are 0 or 1.
-chassis Specifies the IPv6 address and prefix of a chassis.
On platforms with blade processors, the following additional command line
options are supported with the --add or --delete options:
-eth0 | -eth1 Specifies the local IPv4 address of the blade processor. A prefix is required.
-gate Specifies the IPv4 address of the blade processor (BP) Gateway (no prefix).
-slot number On a chassis with a blade processor (BP), specifies the slot number. On
standalone platforms with a hidden BP, such as the AP76500, this parameter is
not accepted.
-ipv6 [-auto | -noauto]
Enables or disables stateless IPv6 autoconfiguration on a switch or chassis.
When autoconfiguration is enabled, the host automatically performs configuration
of IPv6 addresses and periodic nondisruptive reconfiguration. By default,
autoconfiguration is disabled.
-ls FID Specifies the logical fabric ID for which to configure an IPFC network interface.
The FID is a decimal number. A switch that is not in Virtual Fabric mode uses the
-ls parameter with FID 128 (the effective, single Logical Fabric number on such
switches) to set the IPv4 FC address. Note that setting the IP address for the
logical switch is only for the IPFC interface, not for the Ethernet interface.
--add Assigns a specified IPv4 FC address and prefix to the logical switch instance
represented by the specified FID. This command replaces any existing FC
IPv4 address.
IPv4_address/prefix
Specifies the IPv4 address and prefix for the IPFC network interface. The IP
Address is represented by a dotted decimal number, followed by a slash and
a prefix. This operand is required with the --add option.
--delete Deletes the IPv4 FC address and prefix from a logical switch.
-ls IFID Specifies the fabric ID that identifies the logical switch for which to delete the
FC IPv4 address and prefix. This operand is required when deleting an FC
IPv4 address from a logical switch. On a switch that is not in Virtual Fabric
mode, use the -ls parameter with FID 128 (the effective, single Logical Fabric
number on such switches) to delete the IPv4 FC address.
When used interactively to configure IPv4 addresses on a modular platform, ipAddrSet prompts for the
following parameters:
-cp cp_number Specifies the managed entity as a CP. Valid values include the following:
0Sets the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask, gateway IP address and
host name of CP0.
494 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
ipAddrSet

1Sets the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask, gateway IP address and
host name of CP1.
-chassis Specifies the managed entity as the chassis.
-ipv4 Specifies IP address type as static IPv4.
-add Sets the specified IPv4 address.
-host hostname Sets the hostname.
-ethip ipaddress Sets the ethernet IP address.
-ethmask mask Sets the ethernet mask.
-gwyip gateway_ip Sets the gateway IP address.
-dhcp[ON | OFF]Enables or disables DHCP.
-dhcpv6 Enables DHCPv6.
-nodhcpv6 Disables DHCPv6.
--clear Clears all IP (IPv4 and IPv6) addresses on a management interface.
--help Displays command usage.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage IP filter policies. The ipFilter command and command options are
noninteractive, except when prompting for a confirmation.
The IP filter policy sets up a packet filtering firewall to provide access control on the management IP
interface. The IPv4 and IPv6 policies are either in the defined configuration or in the active configuration.
Excluding the default policies, there can be a maximum of six policies in the defined configuration and
one policy per IPv4 and IPv6 type in the active configuration.
The active policy must be the default policy or one of the policies in the defined configuration. Only the
active policies are enforced. All of the ipFilter options except --show and --transabort, create a
transaction owned by the management session initiating the commands.
An open transaction prevents other transactions from being created on different management sessions.
The --create, --clone, --delete, --addrule, and --delrule operands modify policies in memory buffer,
while operands, --save and --activate commit policies to the persistent configuration. The operands,
--save and --activate, implicitly end the transaction if all policy changes are committed. The operand
--transabort explicitly ends an open transaction and aborts policy changes in memory buffer. Closing the
management session that owns the transaction also aborts policy changes and closes the transaction.
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.
In a Virtual Fabric environment, IP Filter policies are treated as chassis-wide configurations and apply to
all logical switches in the chassis. Chassis permissions are required to manage IP Filter policies.
Fabric OS Command Reference 501
53-1003108-01
ipFilter 2
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
policyname Specifies an IP filter policy name. The policy name is a unique string composed of
a maximum of 20 alphanumeric or underscore characters. The default_ipv4 and
default_ipv6 names are reserved for default IP filter policies. The policy name is
case-insensitive and is always stored as lower case. The policy type identifies the
policy as an IPv4 or IPv6 filter. You can create a maximum of eight IP filter
policies.
--create policyname -type ipv4 | ipv6
Creates an IP filter policy with the specified name and type. The policy created is
stored in a temporary buffer and is lost if the policy is not saved to the persistent
configuration.
--clone policyname -from src_policyname
Creates a replica of an existing IP filter policy. The cloned policy is stored in a
temporary buffer and has the same rules as the original policy.
--show [-a] [policyname]
Displays the IP filter policy content for the specified policy name or all IP filter
policies if policyname is not specified. For each IP filter policy, the policy name,
type, persistent state, and policy rules are displayed. The policy rules are listed by
the rule number in ascending order. The -a option displays the traffic type and the
configured destination IP.
Command output displays without pagination. Use command | more to display the
output with page breaks. If a temporary buffer exists for an IP filter policy, the
--show operand displays the content in the temporary buffer, with the persistent
state set to modified defined or modified active.
--save [policyname]Saves one or all IP filter policies persistently as the defined configuration. This
operand is optional. If a policy name is specified, only the specified IP filter policy
in the temporary buffer is saved; otherwise, all IP filter policies in the temporary
buffer is saved. Only the CLI session that owns the updated temporary buffer can
run this command. Modification to an active policy cannot be saved without being
applied. Therefore, the --save option is blocked for the active policies; instead use
the --activate option.
--activate policyname Activates the specified IP filter policy. IP filter policies are not enforced until they
are activated. Only one IP filter policy per IPv4 and IPv6 type can be active. If
there is a temporary buffer for the policy, the policy is saved to the defined
configuration and activated at the same time. If there is no temporary buffer for the
policy, the policy existing in the defined configuration becomes active. The policy
to be activated replaces the existing active policy of the same type. Activating the
default IP filter policies returns the IP management interface to its default state. An
IP filter policy without any rule cannot be activated. This operand prompts for
confirmation before proceeding.
--delete policyname Deletes the specified IP filter policy. Deleting an IP filter policy removes it from the
temporary buffer. To permanently delete the policy from the persistent database,
issue the ipfilter --save command. An active IP filter policy cannot be deleted.
--addrule policyname Adds a new rule to the specified IP filter policy. The change made to the specified
IP filter policy is not saved to the persistent configuration until saved or activated.

The following arguments are supported with the --addrule option:
-sip source_IP Specifies the source IP address. For filters of type IPv4, the address must be a
32-bit address in dot notation, or a CIDR-style IPv4 prefix. For filters of type IPv6,
the address must be a 12- bit IPv6 address in any format specified by RFC3513,
or a CIDR-style IPv6 prefix. The source IP option is not supported for FORWARD
traffic
-dp destination_port
Specifies the destination port number, a range of port numbers, or a service
name. Note that blocking or permitting of ports 1024 and above is not allowed.
These ports are used by various applications and services on the switch.
-proto protocol Specifies the protocol type, for example, tcp or udp.
-act permit | deny Specifies the permit or deny action associated with this rule. Blocking or permitting
port 1024 and above is not allowed. Ports numbered 1024 and higher are used by
applications for services such as FTP and blocking these ports may cause these
applications to behave in unexpected ways. Blocking or permitting the RPC ports
111, 897, and 898 is not allowed.
rule rule_number Adds a new rule at the specified rule index number. The rule number must be
between 1 and the current maximum rule number plus one.
-type INPUT | FWD
Specifies the type of traffic that is allowed for the specified IP address.
Forwarding rules manage the bidirectional traffic between the external Ethernet
interface (eth0/bond0) and the inband management interface (inbd+). INPUT
traffic is the default type of traffic for IP filter rules.
-dip destination_IP
Specifies the destination IP address. For filters of type IPV4, the address must be
a 32-bit address in dot notation, or a CIDR-style IPv4 prefix. For filters of type
IPv6, the address must be in a 128-bit IPv6 address in any format specified by
RFC3513, or a CIDR-style IPv6 prefix. The destination IP option is not be
supported for INPUT traffic type.
--delrule policyname -rule rule_number
Deletes a rule from the specified IP filter policy. Deleting a rule in the specified IP
filter policy causes the rules following the deleted rule to shift up in rule order. The
change to the specified IP filter policy is not saved to the persistent configuration
until it is saved or activated.
--transabort A transaction is associated with a CLI or manageability session, which is opened
implicitly when you execute the --create, --addrule and --delrule subcommands.
The --transabort command explicitly ends the transaction owned by the current
CLI or manageability session. If a transaction is not ended, other CLI or
manageability sessions are blocked on the subcommands that would open a new
transaction.
--clrcounters Clears the IP filter counters. This command requires root permissions.
--showcounters Displays the IP filter counters. This command requires root permissions.

ipSecConfig
Configures Internet Protocol security (IPSec) policies for Ethernet management interfaces.
SYNOPSIS ipsecconfig --enable [default] --disable
ipsecconfig --add | --modify type [subtype] [arguments]
ipsecconfig --delete [type] arguments
ipsecconfig --flush manual-sa
ipsecconfig --show type [subtype] arguments
ipsecconfig --help [command_type subtype]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) feature for traffic flows on switch
Ethernet management interfaces, or to display the current configuration.
Internet Protocol security (IPSec) is a framework of open standards that provides private, secure
communication over Internet Protocol (IP) networks through the use of cryptographic security services.
IPSec uses different protocols to ensure the authentication, integrity, and confidentiality of the
communication.
•Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) provides confidentiality, data integrity and data source
authentication of IP packets, and protection against replay attacks.
•Authentication Header (AH) provides data integrity, data source authentication, and protection
against replay attacks, but unlike ESP, AH does not provide confidentiality.
IPSec can protect either the entire IP datagram or only the upper-layer protocols. The appropriate modes
are called tunnel mode and transport mode.
•In tunnel mode the IP datagram is fully encapsulated by a new IP datagram using the IPSec
protocol.
•In transport mode only the payload of the IP datagram is handled by the IPSec protocol; it inserts the
IPSec header between the IP header and the upper-layer protocol header.
The IPSec key management supports Internet Key Exchange (IKE) or Manual key/SA entry.
•In IKE the IPSec protocol negotiates shared security parameters and keys. Security Associations
(SAs) used in IKE use automatically generated keys for authentication negotiation between peers.
•Manual key/SA entry requires the keys to be generated and managed manually, and it is therefore
suited for small static environments. For the selected authentication or encryption algorithms, the
correct keys must be generated. The key length is determined by the algorithm selected. Refer to
the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for more information.
The following IPSec configuration tasks can be performed with this command:
•Enable or disable the IPSec policies.
•Configure IP address for both IPv4 and IPv6 format.
•Configure three types of policies and their respective components:
-IPSec policy including selector, transform, SA-proposal, and SA.
-IKE policy (automatic key management).
-Manual SA (manual SA management).
•Modify existing IPSec and IKE policies.
•Delete existing policies and SAs from the configuration database.
Fabric OS Command Reference 507
53-1003108-01
ipSecConfig 2
•Flush existing SAs from the kernel SA database (SADB).
•Display policy parameters.
Representation of IP addresses
When configuring IPSec policies, IP addresses and ports must be specified in the following format:
IP address IPv4 addresses are expressed in dotted decimal notation consisting of numeric
characters (0-9) and periods (.), for example, 203.178.141.194.
IPv6 address consist of hexadecimal digits (09afAF), colons (:) and a percent sign
(%) if necessary, for example, 2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085
network prefix A network prefix is represented by a number followed by a slash (/), for example,
1/0.
NOTES IPSec configuration changes take effect upon execution and are persistent across reboot.
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.
This command does not provide IPSec protection for traffic flows on external management interfaces of
intelligent blades in a chassis, nor does it support protection of traffic flows on FCIP interfaces.
This command does not support manipulating preshared keys corresponding to the identity of the IKE
peer or group of peers. Use secCertUtil to import, delete, or display the preshared keys in the local
switch database.
The MD5 hash algorithm is blocked when FIPS mode is enabled.
Refer to the Examples section for specific use cases and associated command sequences. Refer to the
Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for configuration procedures.
This command accepts abbreviated operands. The abbreviated string must contain the minimum number
of characters necessary to uniquely identify the operand within the set of available operands.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--enable Enables IPSec on the switch. Existing IPSec configurations are enabled by this
command. IPSec is disabled by default. It must be enabled before you can
configure the policies and parameters. The following operand is optional:
default Clears the existing policies (automatic key management and manual keyed
entries) and resets the configuration databases to default values.
--disable Disables IPSec on the switch. All active TCP sessions are terminated when you
disable iPsec.
--add | --modify Adds or modifies an IPSec or IKE policy in an existing enabled configuration. Not
all parameters can be modified. Parameters that cannot be modified are indicated
below. When modifying a policy the names and identifiers need to refer to valid
existing entities. The syntax is as follows:
--add | --modify type [subtype] [arguments]
508 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
ipSecConfig

type Specifies the policy to be created. Supported policies include the following:
policy ips Creates or modifies an IPSec policy. This policy determines the security services
afforded to a packet and the treatment of a packet in the network. An IPSec policy
allows classifying IP packets into different traffic flows and specifies the actions or
transformations performed on IP packets on each of the traffic flows. The main
components of an IPSec policy are: IP packet filter/selector (IP address, protocol,
and port information) and transform set.
subtype A subtype is required when configuring an IPSec policy. The subtype
specifies the components to be configured. The following are required
subtypes for the IPSec policy:
selector Creates a selector that is applied to the IP data traffic. A selector consists of a
set of parameters that identify the IP traffic that needs IPSec protection. To
configure the selector, the following parameters must be specified:
-tag name Specifies a name for the selector. This is a user-generated name. The name
must be between 1 and 32 characters in length, and may include
alphanumeric characters, dashes (-), and underscores (_).
-direction in | out
Specifies traffic flow direction as inbound or outbound.
-local IP_address[prefixlength]
Specifies the source IPv4 or IPv6 address.
-remote IP_address[/prefixlength]
Specifies the peer IPv4 or IPv6 address
-transform name
Specifies the transform to be included in the selector. You must create the
transform before you can use in the selector. Use ipsecConfig --show policy
ips transform to display existing transforms.
-protocol protocol_name
Specifies the upper layer protocols to be selected for IPSec protection. Valid
protocols include tcp, udp, icmp or any. When any is specified all existing
protocols are selected for protection. This operand is optional.
transform Creates the IPSec transform set. The transform set is a combination of IPSec
protocols and cryptographic algorithms that are applied on the packet after it
is matched to a selector. The transform set specifies the IPSec protocol, the
IPSec mode, and the action to be performed on the IP packet. It also
specifies the key management policy that is needed for the IPSec connection
and the encryption and authentication algorithms to be used in security
associations when IKE is used as key management protocol. The following
operands are required:
-tag name Specifies a name for the transform. This is a user-generated name. The
name must be between 1 and 32 characters in length, and may include
alphanumeric characters, dashes (-), and underscores (_).
Fabric OS Command Reference 509
53-1003108-01
ipSecConfig 2
-mode tunnel | transport
Specifies the IPSec transform mode. In tunnel mode, the IP datagram is fully
encapsulated by a new IP datagram using the IPSec protocol. In transport
mode, only the payload of the IP datagram is handled by the IPSec protocol
inserting the IPSec header between the IP header and the upper-layer
protocol header.
-sa-proposal name
Specifies the SA proposal to be included in the transform. You must create
the SA proposal first before you can include it in the transform. Use
ipsecConfig --show policy ips sa-proposal -a for a listing of existing SA
proposals.
-action discard | bypass | protect
Specifies the protective action the transform should take regarding the traffic
flows.
-ike name Specifies the IKE policy to be included in the transform. This operand is
optional. Use ipsecConfig --show policy ike -a for a listing of existing IKE
policies.
-local IP_address[/prefixlength]
Specifies the source IPv4 or IPv6 address. This operand is optional. If a local
source IP address is defined, a remote peer IP address must also be defined.
-remote IP_address[/prefixlength]
Specifies the peer IPv4 or IPv6 address. This operand is optional. If a remote
peer IP address is defined, a local source IP address must also be defined.
sa-proposal Defines the security associations (SA) proposal, including name, SAs to be
included and lifetime of the proposal. The following operands are supported:
-tag name Specifies a name for the SA proposal. This is a user-generated name. The
name must be between 1 and 32 characters in length, and may include
alphanumeric characters, dashes (-), and underscores (_).
-sa name[,name]
Specifies the SAs to include in the SA proposal. The bundle consists of one
or two SA names, separated by commas. For SA bundles, [AH, ESP] is the
supported combination. The SAs must be created prior to being included in
the SA proposal. This operand is required.
-lttime number
Specifies the SA proposal's lifetime in seconds. This operand is optional. If a
lifetime is not specified, the SA does not expire. If lifetime is specified both in
seconds and in bytes, the SA expires when the first expiration criterion is met.
-ltbyte number
Specifies the SA proposal's lifetime in bytes. The SA expiries after the
specified number of bytes have been transmitted. This operand is optional.
sa Defines the Security Association. An SA specifies the IPSec protocol (AH or
ESP), the algorithms used for encryption and authentication, and the
expiration definitions used in security associations of the traffic. IKE uses
these values in negotiations to create IPSec SAs.
You cannot modify an SA once it is created. Use ipsecConfig --flush
manual-sa to remove all SA entries from the kernel SA database (SADB)
and start over.

-tag name Specifies a name for the SA. This is a user-generated name. The name must
be between 1 and 32 characters in length, and may include alphanumeric
characters, dashes (-), and underscores (_). This operand is required.
-protocol ah | esp
Specifies the IPSec protocol. Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
provides confidentiality, data integrity and data source authentication of IP
packets, and protection against replay attacks. Authentication Header (AH)
provides data integrity, data source authentication, and protection against
replay attacks but, unlike ESP, does not provide confidentiality. This operand
is required.
-auth algorithm
Specifies the authentication algorithm. This operand is required. Valid
algorithms include the following:
hmac_md5 MD5 authentication algorithm
hmac_sha1 SHA1 authentication algorithm
-enc algorithm
Specifies the encryption algorithm. This operand is required. Valid algorithms
include the following:
3des_cbc 3DES encryption algorithm
blowfish_cbc
Blowfish encryption algorithm
null_enc Null encryption algorithm
aes256_cb AES-256 algorithm
-spi number Specifies the security parameter index (SPI) for the SA. This is a user-defined
index. Valid SPI numbers consist of numeric characters (0-9). This operand is
optional.
policy ike Creates or modifies an IKE policy configuration. No subtype is required with this
command. The command defines the following IKE policy parameters: IKE
version, IP address of the remote entity, IP address of the local entity, encryption
algorithm, hash algorithm, PRF algorithm, DH group, authentication method, path
and filename of the preshared key. The syntax is as follows: ipsecConfig --add |
--modify ike arguments.

islShow
Displays interswitch link (ISL) information.
SYNOPSIS islshow
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the current connections and status of the interswitch link (ISL) for each port
on a switch. The command output includes the following information:
•Node world wide name (WWN)
•Domain ID
•Switch name
•ISL connection speed, if applicable
•Bandwidth
•Trunking enabled, if applicable
•QOS - QoS enabled, if applicable
•ENCRYPT - Encryption enabled, if applicable
•COMPRESS - Compression enabled, if applicable
•CR_RECOV - Credit recovery enabled, if applicable
•FEC -Forward Error Correction enabled, if applicable
•D_PORT - D_Port enabled, if applicable
When issued on a switch that is part of a logical fabric configuration, the islShow command displays
logical interswitch links (LISLs) along with regular ISLs. However, speed (sp) displays N/A for logical
ports. The bandwidth (bw) displayed is the sum of the bandwidth of all extended ISLs (XISLs) that form
the LISL. A shared ISL (XISL) connects the base switches and is shared by different logical fabrics. It
allows devices to communicate with each other within the logical fabric.
Connection speed is not applicable to LE_Ports or VE_Ports. For these port types, speed displays as
"sp:-------".
Beginning with Fabric OS 7.1.0, this command will display the neighbor WWN information even when the
ISL is segmented during exchange link parameter (ELP) or post ELP segmentation phase. In a fabric that
has switches running Fabric OS 7.1.0 and pre-7.0.1 firmware, the neighbor information of the segmented
links is displayed only on switches running Fabric OS 7.1.0 firmware. In a rare situation when ELP is not
exchanged between two switches, the neighbor WWN information will be displayed only on the
responder side that received ELP.
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

Lists parameter syntax information.
SYNOPSIS item_list = element | element white item_list
element = item | item - item
item = num | slot [white]/ [white] num
slot = num
num = hex | int
int = int digit | digit
hex = 0x hex digit | hex hex digit

DESCRIPTION All kernel diagnostics have at least one item list parameter to specify which ports to test. The normal
default value for this parameter is to select everything.
This is not a command; rather, it is a common parameter to many commands.
If you want to restrict the items to be tested to a smaller set, the parameter value is an item list with the
following characteristics:
•It is a comma-separated list of items.
•Each item in the list can be a single element or a range of elements separated by a dash character
or a combination of both. For example,"0,3,4-6,1","0,1,3,4,5,6", and"0 3 4 - 6 1" each select items 0,
1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
•Spaces and tab stops are skipped.
•Each item might be proceeded by an optional slot number followed by a slash ("/").
Besides the syntax rules, there are also some grammatical restrictions on the slot numbers:
•Once specified, a slot selection applies to all items to the right of the slot selections until the next slot
selection or the end of the item list. For example,"1/0 - 15" and"1/0 - 1/15" are equivalent.
•If no slot number is specified, user port lists are specified by area number. For instance,"0, 16, 32"
and"1/0, 2/0, 3/0" specify the same ports on a 16-port/blade system. On that same system,"1/0, 16,
32" is not a valid list: even though it is legal syntax, the ports do not exist.
•If no slot number is specified, all lists except user port lists use the default slot 0.
•No list type except for user port lists may specify multiple conflicting slot numbers. For instance,"1/0,
2/0, 3/0" is a valid user port list but is not valid for any other type of list.
In the case of conflicting settings within a single item list, an error is generated, as described earlier. In
the case of multiple item list parameters, the last one on the command line overrides previous settings.
The exact type of list varies, depending on the test and the parameter; however, the most common are
blade ports and user ports. A list of blade ports is most commonly used by ASIC-level tests such as
turboRamTest and represents which ports on the current blade (specified with --slot number) are
tested. A list of user ports is used by higher-level tests to specify which user-accessible external ports

within the current switch (selected during Telnet login) are tested. When specified in an item list, user
ports might be specified by either the area portion of the ports Fibre Channel address or with slot/port
notation. For nonblade systems, the port number on the silkscreen is the area number, so the two
notations are identical.
For item list parameters, the parameter type is PT_LIST and the list type is one of the following:
Type Grouping Description

BPORTS Blade Blade ports, internal and external ports.
UPORTS Switch User ports, ports with external connections.
QUADS Blade Quadrants, group of (normally 4) ports.

ldapCfg
Maps LDAP AD server roles to default switch roles.
SYNOPSIS ldapcfg --maprole ldaprole switchrole
ldapcfg --unmaprole ldaprole
ldapcfg --show
ldapcfg --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to map a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Active Directory (AD) server
role to one of the default roles available on a switch. This command also provides an option to remove an
existing mapping.
This command creates an alias for a customer-defined group which allows a user belonging to that group
to login to the switch with the permissions associated with the mapped switch role.
This command supports one-to-one role mapping only. For example, you might map the "SAN
administrator" role on the AD server to the "admin" role on the switch, or the "SAN maintenance" role to
the switch "operator" role. But the command fails if you attempt to map an already mapped AD server
role.
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.
OPERANDS This command takes as input an action and its associated arguments. When no operand is specified, the
command prints the usage.
This command has the following operands:
--maprole Maps an LDAP role to a specified switch role. The following operands are
required:
ldaprole Specifies the LDAP role to be mapped to a switch role. The role must be a valid
AD server role.
switchrole Specifies the switch role to which the LDAP role is mapped. Valid switch roles
include the following:
•admin
•user
•switchadmin
•zoneadmin
•fabricadmin
•basicswitchadmin
•operator
•securityadmin

ldapCfg 2
--unmaprole Removes the mapping between an LDAP role and a switch role. Use the --show
option for a listing of existing mappings. The following operand is required:
ldaprole Specifies the LDAP AD sever role to be removed from the mapping.
--show Displays a table of existing mappings between LDAP roles and their
corresponding switch role.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To display current LDAP and switch role map:
switch:admin> ldapcfg --show
LDAP Role | Switch Role
------------------------------------------------
ldapadmin | admin
ldapuser | user
SANfabadmin | fabricadmin
SANzoneadmin | zoneadmin
SANoperator | operator
LDAPSANsecadm | securityadmin
SANuser | user
SAN01secadmin | securityadmin
LD_02zoneadmin | zoneadmin
------------------------------------------------
To map an LDAP AD server role to the switch role of "operator":
switch:admin> ldapcfg --maprole SANoperator operator
LDAP role SANoperator has been successfully mapped.
switch:admin> ldapcfg --unmaprole SANoperator
LDAP role SANoperator has been successfully unmapped.

lfCfg
Configures and displays logical fabrics.
SYNOPSIS lfcfg [--show | --showall] -cfg
lfcfg [--show | --showall] -lisl [-v]
lfcfg [--show -xisl [slot/]port | --showall -xisl
lfcfg --lislenable
lfcfg --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display logical fabric configuration information, to determine the status of logical
interswitch links (LISLs), to enable LISLs between logical switches, and to display information about the
XISLs and LISLs associated with each XISL.
A logical switch is a partition created on a physical switch that shares the physical resources of the base
fabric while functioning as an independent entity in a "virtual" logical fabric. The logical fabric sits on top
of a base physical fabric and ties otherwise disconnected logical switches together to share the same
connectivity and physical resources. At the same time, the logical fabric provides protocol and
management isolation, and each logical fabric is independently scalable.
The display options provided with this command show the logical fabric configuration for a given logical
switch context or for a chassis context. Each logical switch displays only the user ports that are
configured to be part of that switch instance. The switch context is defined by the fabric ID. The default
context is the base logical switch that you are placed in upon login. The default logical switch context is
defined by the fabric ID 128. To change the context, use the setContext command.
When issued with the -cfg option, this command displays the following information:
Chassis Numeric identifier for the chassis.
Chassis WWN Chassis world wide name.
Base switch Domain The domain ID of the base switch.
For each logical switch, the following information is displayed:
Logical Switch Numeric identifier for the logical switch within the chassis.
Base switch Yes or No. This field indicates whether or not this logical switch is the base switch.
Fabric Id The logical switch fabric ID (FID).
State The state of the logical switch: Online or Offline.
Switch WWN The logical switch world wide name.
When issued with the -lisl option, the command displays the following information:
FID Fabric ID of the logical switch.
Fabric OS Command Reference 531
53-1003108-01
lfCfg 2
Port Number of the logical LISL port.
remote-domain Domain ID of the base switch in the remote chassis.
Name Switch name.
State Port state: Online or Offline.
Associated physical ports
Physical ports associated with the LISL ports.
When lfCfg is issued within a logical switch context, only the configuration regarding that switch and the
fabrics reachable from that switch is displayed. When the command is issued in a chassis context the
information for all chassis in the base fabric reachable from the current chassis is displayed. Executing
chassis-level commands requires chassis permissions. Refer to the userConfig command for
information on setting chassis user permissions.
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.
This command 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.
You cannot use the portEnable command on logical ports. Use lfcfg with the --lislenable option to
re-enable disabled LISL ports on a logical switch.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--show -cfg Displays information for the fabric ID set by the context in all chassis reachable
from the base fabric.
--showall -cfg Displays information for all fabrics in all chassis reachable from the chassis
context in which the command is executed. This option requires chassis
permissions.
--show -lisl Displays status information about the LISLs in the logical switch set by the
context.
--showall -lisl Displays status information of all LISLs in the chassis. This option requires
chassis permissions.
-v Displays, in addition to the LISLs, the physical ports on the base switch that are
associated with the LISL ports. This operand is optional with the -lisl option.
--show -xisl [slot/]portDisplays the XISL and the LISLs associated with it for the specified XISL port. For
each LISL port, the output displays the FID, LISL State (online/offline) and the
local and remote logical switch WWNs. This command must be executed from the
base switch.
--showall -lisl Displays the XISL connections between two base switches for all XISL ports. This
command must be executed from the base switch.

licenseAdd
Adds a license key to a switch.
SYNOPSIS licenseadd license
DESCRIPTION Use this command to add a license key to a switch.
Some features of the switch and the fabric to which it is connected are optional, licensed products.
Without a valid license installed for such products, their services are not available.
A license key is a string of any length consisting of upper- and lowercase letters and numbers. License
keys are case-sensitive. The license must be entered exactly as issued. The system may accept an
incorrectly entered license, but the licensed products will not function. After entering the license, use the
licenseShow command to validate the product associated with the license. If no licensed products are
shown, the license is invalid.
After you enter a license, the licensed product is generally available immediately without requiring further
action. The following exceptions apply:
•Some licenses may require you to refresh the ports before to activate the license. Depending on
your system, use the portDisable/portEnable, switchDisable/switchEnable or
chassisDisable/chassisEnable commands to refresh the ports.
•Some licenses may require that you reboot the switch to activate the license. The licenseAdd
command will prompt you to reboot the switch.

SYNOPSIS licenseidshow
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the license ID of the system.
Some features of the switch and the fabric are optional, licensed products. Without a license installed for
such products, the services provided by these features are not available.
This command displays the system license ID used for generating and validating licenses on the system.
The license ID format consists of eight pairs of hexadecimal values, separated by colons. Each
hexadecimal value is between 00 (0) and FF (255).
NOTES While the format of this identifier might be similar or even identical to other identifiers in the system, no
inferences should be made about the relationships between them as they are subject to change
independently of one another.
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

licensePort
Manages Dynamic Ports On Demand (DPOD) licenses.
SYNOPSIS licenseport --release port
licenseport --reserve port
licenseport --show
licenseport --method dynamic | static
DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage and display Dynamic Ports on Demand (DPOD) license assignments.
Dynamic Ports On Demand (DPOD) is an optional feature available on all embedded platforms. DPOD
takes the expansion capability of static Ports On Demand (POD) and adds the flexibility of activating any
available port as long as a valid license is available. In Static mode, POD allows only specific fixed ports
to be activated or licensed. With DPOD, any physical port can be made active as long as the total
number of licenses is not exceeded.
The Dynamic POD feature assigns ports to the POD license in the order in which they come online until
they equal the number of online licensed ports. This command provides the mechanism to make
adjustments to the dynamic assignments by reserving assignments for specific ports in the event that
there are more online ports than the purchased POD licenses can support.
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.
On unsupported platforms, this command returns a "not supported" message.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
port Specifies the number of the port to which to assign or from which to remove a
POD license. A port must be specified when releasing or reserving a port.
--release Releases a license assignment from the specified port when the switch is using
the Dynamic POD method. The port must be offline for this command to succeed.
--reserve Reserves a license assignment for the specified port when the switch is using the
Dynamic POD method. The port must be offline for this command to succeed.
--show Displays the POD license assignments.
--method Selects the POD method as one of the following:
dynamic Selects the dynamic POD method.
static Selects the static POD method.

Configures and displays slot-based licensed features.
SYNOPSIS licenseslotcfg --add feature slot
licenseslotcfg --remove feature slot
licenseslotcfg --show
licenseslotcfg --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure and manage licenses for the Brocade FX8-24 extension blade on the slot
where the blade is installed.
Slot-based licenses allow you to select the slots the license will enable up to the purchased capacity and
thereby increase existing capacity without disrupting the slots for which licensed features are already
enabled.
There is a separate slot-based license key for each licensed feature supported on the blade. For
example, the Brocade FX8-24 supports slot-based license keys for each of the following features:
•10 GbE license - Enables the two 10GbE ports on the Brocade FX8-24.
•Advanced Extension license - Enables FCIP Trunking and Adaptive Rate Limiting.
•Advanced FICON Acceleration license - Accelerates FICON tape read and write and IBM Global
Mirror data replication operations over distance.
A license key with the specified capacity must be installed with the licenseAdd command before you can
enable the feature on a specified slot with the licenseSlotCfg command. Refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide for more information.
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.
OPERANDS feature Specifies the licensed feature to be added at the specified slot. The feature is
specified as a tag from the following set of licenses:
FTR_AE Advanced Extension license
FTR_AFA Advanced FICON Acceleration license
FTR_10G 10 Gigabit Ethernet license
slot Specifies the slot number for the Brocade FX8-24 extension blade. This number
corresponds to the physical blade slot number on the chassis (1-4, 9-12 on the
Brocade DCX; 1-2, 7-8 on the Brocade DCX-4S).
--add Adds a slot-based license to the specified slot.
--remove Removes a slot-based license from the specified slot. This operation frees up the
license to be assigned to another slot. You must disable the applications that use
the license on this slot before you can deactivate the license.

Fabric OS Command Reference 547
53-1003108-01
linkCost 2
linkCost
Sets or displays the Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) cost of a link.
SYNOPSIS linkcost [[slot/]port [cost]]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set or display the cost of an interswitch link (ISL). The cost of a link is a
dimensionless positive number. The Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) protocol compares the cost of
various paths between a source switch and a destination switch by adding the costs of all the ISLs along
each path. FSPF chooses the path with minimum cost. If multiple paths exist with the same minimum
cost, FSPF distributes the load among these paths. The default link cost value is 500.
When executed without operands, the command displays the current cost of each port on the switch,
including non-ISLs. An E_PORT suffix is appended to the interface number of active ISLs. If a static cost
is assigned to a port, a STATIC suffix is appended to the link cost. In this case, only the current link cost
displays. Use interfaceShow to display both the default and current link costs.
NOTES This command sets a non-default, "static" cost for any port except EX/VEX ports. Use
fcrRouterPortCost to configure EX/VEX ports.
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.
This command cannot be executed on a logical ISL (LISL).
OPERANDS This command has the following operands
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number for which to set or display the
cost, followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the port number for which to set or display the cost, relative to its slot for
bladed systems. Use switchShow to list of valid ports.
cost Specifies the static cost of the link connected to the specified port. Recommended
cost values are 0 through 32765. Setting static link cost values above 32765 will
cause access problems. When you set a link cost value between 32766 and
65534, some parts of the fabric may become inaccessible. When you set the
maximum link cost value of 65535, the port will become unusable. In either case,
the command displays an appropriate warning message, and you are prompted to
continue or to cancel and reissue the command with a lower link cost value. A
value of 0 removes the static cost and the port reverts to its default link cost. If
cost is not specified, the command displays the current cost of the specified port.
EXAMPLES To display the link costs for all ports on a switch:

DESCRIPTION Use this command to create and modify groups of elements that are to be monitored using the same set
of thresholds. For example, you can create a group of ports that behave in a similar manner, such as
UNIX ports or long-distance ports.
The elements in a group must be the same type: ports, circuits, or SFP transceivers. By creating a group
of similar elements, you can manage these elements as a single entity.
The maximum number of user-defined groups is 64 per logical switch.
NOTES This command requires a Fabric Vision license.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
group_name Specifies the name of the group to be configured. The name for the group must be
unique; it is case-sensitive and can contain up to 32 characters.
member_list Specifies the elements in the group. The member list must be enclosed in double
quotation marks and can consist of the following:
Port and SFP groups:
•A single port, for example, "8" or "2/8" on bladed systems.
•A port range where the beginning and end port are separated by a dash, for
example, "8-13" or "2/8-13" on bladed systems.
•A set of ports and port ranges separated by commas, for example,
"3,5,7-10,15" or "2/3,2/5,3/7-10,4/15" on bladed systems.
Circuit groups: •A single circuit in VE_Port/circuit format, for example, "33/5".
•A circuit range in VE_Port/circuit format, for example, "33/1-3".
•A set of circuits separated by commas, for example, "33/1-3,33/5".

lsanZoneShow
2
lsanZoneShow
Displays logical SAN zone information.
SYNOPSIS lsanzoneshow [-s] [-f fabricid] [-w wwn] [-z zonename]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the inter-fabric zones or LSAN zones. These zones are normal WWN
zones created in FC Router EX_Port-connected fabrics and backbone fabrics. The LSAN zones are
identified by the text string "lsan_" in the zone name. Note that the string is case insensitive so "LSAN_"
also is valid. The FC Router uses these zones to establish the inter-fabric device import and export
policy. The LSAN zones are established by zoning administration in each EX_Port-attached fabric and
backbone fabric. Inter-fabric device sharing is allowed between two devices if the LSAN zones defined in
their respective fabrics both allow the two devices to communicate; for example, the intersection of LSAN
zones in two fabrics define the device sharing policy.
The LSAN zones are listed by fabric. Zone membership information (information about the devices in the
zone) is provided for each LSAN zone. The default output displays only WWNs of the zone members.
Search parameters -f, -w, and -z allow searching for LSAN zones based on fabric ID, WWN of an LSAN
zone member, or LSAN zone name.
"No LSAN zone found" is displayed if there is no LSAN zone information available at this FC Router.
Each LSAN zone entry displays the following:
Fabric ID The ID of the fabric in which the LSAN zone was created.
Zone Name The zone name.
Zone Members The zone members or devices. The default output displays the WWN of the zone
members.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-s state Displays state information for the device. Valid states include the following:
Configured Device is configured to be in an LSAN, but the device is neither imported nor
exists in this fabric.
Initializing Device is in an intermediate state. It is not yet imported into the fabric.
EXIST Device exists in this fabric (the fabric of the zone entry).
Imported Device has been imported (proxy created) into this fabric.
-f fabricid Displays LSAN zones in the specified fabric.

lsanZoneShow 2
-w wwn Displays LSAN zones containing the specified port WWN. The WWN format is
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
-z zonename Displays LSAN zones with the specified zone name. The database for zones is
displayed per switch, which can differ from the database stored on the other FCR
switches.
EXAMPLES To display the LSAN zones:
switch:admin> lsanzoneshow

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 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.
Fabric OS Command Reference 557
53-1003108-01
lsCfg 2
-b | -base Creates a base logical switch on the chassis. A base logical switch communicates
among different logical switches. Legacy switches can be connected to the base
logical switch through EX_Ports, and interswitch links (ISLs) between base logical
switches enable communication among different logical switches. This operand is
optional.
-f | -force Executes the command without confirmation. This operand is optional.
--delete Deletes a logical switch with the specified fabric ID. The specified logical switch
must exist and no ports should be configured on this partition. You must remove
all ports from the logical switch before deleting the logical switch instance. Use the
lscfg --config command to remove the ports.
FID Specifies the Fabric ID of the logical switch. This operand is required.
-f | -force Executes the command without confirmation. This operand is optional.
--config Configures the specified logical switch. This command assigns ports to the logical
switch specified by a given FID. The ports are removed from the partition on which
they are currently configured. This command prompts for confirmation, indicating
that the specified ports will be disabled. The following operands are supported:
FID Specifies the fabric ID of the logical switch. This operand is required.
-slot slot1[-slot2]Specifies the slot number or a range of slot numbers separated by a dash, for
example -slot 3-5. This operand is required.
-port port1[-port2]Specifies the ports to be assigned to the logical switch. Provide a valid port, or a
range of ports separated by a dash, for example -port 3-8. This operand is
optional; if omitted, all ports on the specified slots are assigned.
-q | -qsfp Moves all ports in a quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) group to be
assigned to the logical switch. This operand is optional.
-f | -force Executes the command without confirmation. This operand is optional.
--restore_to_default FID
Moves all vacant ports in the logical switch specified by FID to the default switch.
Use this command when lsCfg --show displays no ports, but the switch continues
to generate errors indicating that there are ports on the switch.
--restore_slot_to_default slot
Moves all ports on a specified slot to the default switch.
--change Changes the fabric ID of a logical switch, creates a base logical switch out of an
existing logical switch, or removes base switch properties. The -newfid and -base
operands are exclusive and may not be combined. The following operands are
supported:
FID Specifies the Fabric ID of the logical switch. This operand is required.

-n | -newfid FID Changes the fabric ID of an existing logical switch. This command effectively
removes the logical switch from a given logical fabric and makes it part of another
logical fabric.
-b | -base Turns an existing logical switch into a base switch. When this command is issued
on a switch that is already a base switch, this command removes the base switch
properties. This command disables the current logical switch. After making the
change, you must re-enable the switch.
-f | -force Executes the command without confirmation. This operand is optional.
--show Displays the partition configuration on a switch or chassis. Without any operands,
the command displays all logical switches and the FC ports assigned to them. For
each switch, the FID, switch role, and domain ID are displayed: base switch (bs)
or default switch (ds). The following operands are optional with the --show option.
-ge Displays partition configuration information for GbE ports. This operand is valid
only on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 platforms.
-provision Displays the partition configuration for all slots, regardless of the slot's status. This
operand is valid only on a chassis and can be used with or without the -ge option.
--help Displays the command usage.

lsDbShow
Displays the Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) link state database.
SYNOPSIS lsdbshow [domain]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display an FSPF link state database record for switches in the fabric or for a
specified domain.
There are two types of database entries:
•The link state database entry, which is permanently allocated.
•The link state record (LSR), which is allocated when a switch is connected to the fabric.
The LSR describes the links between connected domains in a fabric. For a link to be reported in the LSR,
the neighbor for that link must be in NB_ST_FULL state.
This command displays the content of both types of database entries, if both are present, as shown
below:
Domain Domain ID described by this LSR. A (self) keyword after the domain ID indicates
that LSR describes the local switch.
lsrP Pointer to LSR.
earlyAccLSRs Number of LSRs accepted, even though they were not sufficiently spaced apart.
ignoredLSRs Number of LSRs not accepted because they were not sufficiently spaced apart.
lastIgnored Last time an LSR was ignored.
installTime Time this LSR was installed in the database, in seconds since boot.
lseFlags Internal variable.
uOutIfsP Internal variable.
uAllOutIfsP Internal variable.
uPathCost Internal variable.
uOldHopCount Internal variable.
uHopsFromRoot Internal variable.
uPathCount The number of currently available paths to the remote domain.
mOutIfsP Internal variable.
parent Internal variable.

mPathCost Internal variable.
mHopsFromRoot Internal variable.
Link State Record pointer
Pointer to LSR. The same as lsrP.
lsAge Age, in seconds, of this LSR. An LSR is removed from the database when its age
exceeds 3,600 seconds.
reserved Reserved for future use.
type Type of the LSR. Always 1.
options Always 0.
lsId ID of this LSR. It is identical to the domain ID.
advertiser Domain ID of the switch that originated this LSR.
incarn Incarnation number of this LSR.
length Total length, in bytes, of this LSR. Includes header and link state information for all
links.
chksum Checksum of total LSR, with exception of lsAge field.
linkCnt Number of links in this LSR. Each link represents a neighbor in NB_ST_FULL
state.
flags Always 0.
LinkId ID of this link. It is the domain ID of the switch on the other side of the link.
out port Port number on the local switch.
rem port Port number of the port on the other side of the link.
cost Cost of this link. The default cost for a 1 Gbps link is 1,000.
bw The rounded bandwidth of the output link, in Gbps.
type Always 1.

mapsConfig 2
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--enablemaps Enables MAPS and disables Fabric Watch monitoring. The following operand is
required:
-policy policy_name
Specifies the policy that will be enabled after MAPS starts monitoring. The policy
can be a converted Fabric Watch policy, a predefined MAPS policy, or a
user-defined policy. Valid values for the policy_name variable are as follows:
dflt_conservative_policy
Contains rules with more lenient thresholds that allow a buffer and do not
immediately trigger actions. Use this policy in environments where the
elements are resilient and can accommodate errors.
dflt_aggressive_policy
Contains rules with very strict thresholds. Use this policy if you need a pristine
fabric (for example, FICON fabrics).
dflt_moderate_policy
Contains rules with thresholds values between the aggressive and
conservative policies.
fw_active_policyContains all of the monitoring rules based on the active thresholds in Fabric
Watch at the time of the migration.
fw_default_policy
Contains all of the monitoring rules based on the default thresholds
configured in Fabric Watch.
fw_custom_policy
Contains all of the monitoring rules based on the custom thresholds
configured in Fabric Watch.
user_policy A user-defined policy.
--fwconvert Converts Fabric Watch thresholds into the following policy files that can be utilized
by MAPS:
•fw_default_policy
•fw_custom_policy
•fw_active_policy
--config pause Stops monitoring specific elements. The active policy is still in effect.
--config continue Resumes monitoring specific elements on which monitoring was previously
paused.
-type member_type
Specifies the type of elements on which to pause monitoring. Valid types include
the following:
port The elements are FC ports.
circuit The elements are FCIP circuits.
sfp The elements are SFP transceivers.
568 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
mapsConfig
2
-members member_list
Specifies the specific elements on which to pause or continue monitoring. The
member list must be enclosed in double quotation marks and can consist of the
following:
Port and SFP groups:
• A single port, for example, "8" or "2/8" on bladed systems.
• A port range where the beginning and end port are separated by a dash,
for example, "8-13" or "2/8-13" on bladed systems.
• A set of ports and port ranges separated by commas, for example,
"3,5,7-10,15" or "2/3,2/5,3/7-10,4/15" on bladed systems.
Circuit groups: • A single circuit in VE_Port/circuit format, for example, "33/5".
• A circuit range in VE_Port/circuit format, for example, "33/1-3".
• A set of circuits separated by commas, for example, "33/1-3,33/5".
--actions actions_list Specifies a comma-separated list of all of the actions that are allowed globally on
the switch. Any actions listed for a specific rule must also be listed here to take
effect. Valid actions include the following:
raslog Generates a RASLog message.
fence Fences the port, if port fencing is enabled. Port fencing takes the ports offline if the
user-defined thresholds are exceeded. This action is valid only on conditions that
are evaluated on ports.
snmp Generates an SNMP trap.
email Sends information about a switch event to a specified e-mail address.
sw_critical Sets the state of the affected switch to critical. This action is valid only if the
monitoring system (specified by the monitor operand in the mapsRule
command) is one of the switch policy status monitoring systems.
sw_marginal Sets the state of the affected switch to marginal. This action is valid only if the
monitoring system (specified by the monitor operand in the mapsRule
command) is one of the switch policy status monitoring systems.
sfp_marginal Sets the state of the affected SFP transceiver to marginal. This action is valid only
if the monitoring system (specified by the monitor operand in the mapsRule
command) is one of the switch policy status monitoring systems.
none No actions are allowed on the switch. Specifying this option allows you to turn off
all notifications.
--emailcfg Specifies the configuration for e-mail notifications, if email is a triggered action.
You can configure a relay host IP address using the relayConfig command.
Fabric OS Command Reference 569
53-1003108-01
mapsConfig 2
-address email_address
Specifies the e-mail address to which the notifications are sent. You can configure
up to 5 e-mail addresses as the alert message's receiver. Multiple e-mail
addresses must be separated by a comma and each e-mail address can be up to
a maximum length of 128 bytes. The e-mail address must conform to standard
syntax: string@domain.suffix. Invalid e-mail addresses are rejected.
--import Imports a flow from Flow Vision into MAPS.
flow_name Specifies the name of a flow to be imported. The flow name must be defined in
Flow Vision. This operand is required.
-force Imports a flow with the same name as the previously imported flow. This operand
is optional. When a flow that was imported into MAPS is deleted in Flow Vision, all
members of the group corresponding to that flow are automatically deleted from
MAPS. If the same flow is created again, it will not automatically be reimported
into MAPS, and importing this flow using the --import option fails unless you use
the -force option.
--deimport Removes a flow from MAPS. The following operand is required:
flow_name Specifies the name of the flow to be removed from MAPS.
--purge Deletes all user-defined MAPS configurations on the switch (groups, rules, and
policies). This command does not delete the predefined groups and policies.
Enables dflt_conservative_policy after successful purge.
--show Displays the MAPS global configuration settings.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To enable MAPS monitoring and set dflt_moderate_policy as the active policy:
switch:admin> mapsconfig --enablemaps -policy
dflt_moderate_policy
To stop monitoring on three ports:
switch:admin> mapsconfig --config pause -type port
-members "3/1,3/2,3/3"
To resume monitoring on two ports:
switch:admin> mapsconfig --config continue -type port
-members "3/1,3/3"
To specify that generating a RASLog and sending an e-mail message are the only allowed notification
actions on this switch:

mapsdb --clear [all | history | summary]
mapsdb --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to view the summary of the events or rules triggered and the objects on which the
rules were triggered over a specified period of time, and to clear the dashboard data. When used with the
--show option, this command displays the following information:
Switch Health ReportDisplays the overall status of the switch. If the overall status is not healthy, the
contributing factors and the fenced ports are listed.
Summary Information
Displays the status of the monitoring categories needed to determine the current
health of the switch. The health state of each category is contributed to by a group
of monitoring systems or error counters, and the rules configured in the active
policy. The summary view displays the following information for each category:
information collected since midnight of the current day and the historical
information collected over the last 7 days.
The health state can be one of the following:
No Error No error has occurred.
In operating range
The errors are within the thresholds configured in the active policy.
Out of operating range
The errors are above the configured thresholds and this triggers the rules
configured in the active policy. This indicates that some attributes of the switch are
operating out of the configured range.
Conditions contributing to health
Displays the conditions that contributed to the current switch status. The following
information is displayed: number of rules triggered in a category, repeat count,
triggered rules, execution time, the elements for which rules were triggered, and
the triggered value.
History Data Displays the following historical data for a specific time window: the monitoring
system, the current value that triggered the rule, and the elements for which rules
were triggered.
If no operands are specified, this command displays the usage.

msConfigure
2
msConfigure
Configures the Management Server (MS) access control list (ACL).
SYNOPSIS msconfigure
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the MS Access Control List (ACL). The MS allows a Storage Area
Network (SAN) management application to retrieve and administer the fabric and Interconnect Elements,
such as switches. This application is located at the Fibre Channel well-known address, 0xFFFFFA.
If the MS ACL is empty (default), The MS is available to all systems connected to the fabric. By
populating the MS ACL with one or more world wide names (WWNs), you can restrict access to MS to
the specified WWNs.
This command is interactive and provides the following choices:
0Done
1Display the access list
2Add member based on its port/node WWN
3Delete member based on its port/node WWN
When changing the MS ACL by adding or deleting WWNs, you are prompted to save the new
configuration to nonvolatile storage. The saved MS ACL becomes effective upon reboot.
The MS ACL is implemented on a per-switch basis and should be configured on the switch to which the
management application is directly connected.
NOTES When an FCS policy is enabled, the MS ACL is not used. In such a case, access to MS is controlled by
security by way of the MS_POLICY configuration.
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

SYNOPSIS nodefind WWN | PID | ALIAS
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the NS information for all devices in the fabric that have either a port world
wide name (WWN) or a node WWN matching the given WWN; or have a device PID matching the given
PID; or have a defined configuration alias to which the device belongs matching the given alias.
If there is no device matching the given WWN, PID, or alias, the message "No device found" is displayed.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
WWN | PID | ALIAS Specify the WWN, device PID, or alias that can be used to match the real device's
data. The WWN must have eight colon-separated fields, each consisting of one or
two hexadecimal numbers between 0 and ff, with no spaces. The PID must begin
with 0x or 0X; otherwise, it is interpreted as an alias.

Displays local Name Server (NS) information, with aliases.
SYNOPSIS nsaliasshow [-r][-t] | -domain domain_id | --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display local name server information with the added feature of displaying the
defined configuration aliases to which the device belongs. If there are no defined configuration aliases for
that device, no alias is displayed. If there is no information in this switch, the following message is
displayed: "There is no entry in the Local Name Server." Use the -domain domainid option to display the
remote device details for a specific domain in the fabric.
The information displayed for each device is the same that is displayed by the nsShow command with
the exception of the additional display of the alias to which the device belongs. Refer to the nsShow help
page for a description of these displays. Use nsCamShow to display information from all switches.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following optional operands:

(SCR) information. This value indicates what type of RSCN a device registers to
receive. Values include the following:
SCR=0 Reserved.
SCR=1 Fabric detected registration. Register to receive all RSCN requests issued by the
fabric controller for events detected by the fabric.
SCR=2 NX_Port detected registration. Register to receive all RSCN requests issued for
events detected by the affected NX_Port.
SCR=3 Register to receive all RSCN requests issued. The RSCN request returns all
effected N_Port_ID pages.
-t Displays the device type. The device type is defined in terms of two attributes. The
first attribute indicates the origination of the device as one of the following:
•Physical -The device is connected to the NX_Port, using FLOGI to log in to
the switch.
•Virtual -The device is contrived by the switch.
•NPV -The device is connected to the NX_Port, using FDISC to log in to the
switch.
•iSCSI Device is connected to the iSCSI port.
The second attribute indicates the role of the device. Valid role attributes include
the following:
•Unknown (initiator/target) - Device role is not detected
•Initiator - An iSCSI initiator.
•Target - An iSCSI target.
•Initiator+Target - Both an iSCSI initiator and an iSCSI target.

nsCamShow
Displays information about remote devices in the Name Server (NS) cache.
SYNOPSIS nscamshow [-t]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the local NS cache information about the devices discovered in the fabric
by the NS cache manager.
If the NS cache manager does not discover new switches or new devices in the fabric, the command
displays the message "No Entry is found!"
For each discovered remote switch, this command displays the following information:
Switch entry for NDisplays the remote domain ID for the switch.
state Displays one of the following values:
known The local domain is aware of all the devices from this remote domain.
unknown The local domain is unaware of devices from this remote domain.
ERROR The information for this remote domain is unreliable.
rev Fabric OS firmware version of the remote switch. For switches running firmware
other than Fabric OS, a string of question marks ("????") is displayed.
owner Displays the owner of the NSCAM database entry. The value displayed is a
domain ID (domain address). For example, 0xfffc02 indicates domain 2 and is the
domain on which the command has been executed. This is the local domain and
the information is stored locally by this switch.
cap_available Each switch in the fabric exchanges information regarding its capabilities (for
example, firmware level, feature support, etc.). When the cap_available value is
1, it indicates that the local domain has received the capabilities of the remote
domain that is being displayed. When the value is 0 capability information has not
been received.
The remaining information displayed for each device is the same that is displayed by the nsShow
command. Refer to the nsShow help page for a description of these displays.
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.
OPERANDS The following operand is optional:
-t Displays the device type. The device type is defined in terms of two attributes. The
first attribute indicates the origination of the device as one of the following:
Physical The device is connected to the NX_Port, using FLOGI to log in to the switch.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to display local NS information about devices connected to a switch. If no information
is available for the switch, the command displays the following message: "There is no entry in the Local
Name Server."
Use nsAllShow to display NS information for all switches in the fabric.
Each line of output displays the following information:
Type Displays U for unknown, N for N_Port, NL for NL_Port.
PID Displays the 24-bit Fibre Channel address of the device.
COS Displays the Class of Service levels supported by the device. This can be class 1,
class 2, or class 3. The command displays only the numeric values, 1, 2, and/or 3.
A device can support multiple CoS levels.
PortName Displays the device port world wide name (WWN).
NodeName Displays the device node WWN.
TTL Displays the time-to-live, in seconds, for cached entries or NA (not applicable) if
the entry is local.
SCR Displays the state change registration of the device. This field displays only with
the -r option.
Device type Displays the device type if -t is specified.

Partial Displays "Yes" if the device entry is incomplete; otherwise displays "No". Devices
that are incomplete are displayed by the nsShow and nsCamShow commands,
and have routing established, but are not considered during device discovery (for
example, during FC-GS Name Server Queries).
LSAN Displays "Yes" if the device is currently part of an active LSAN zone; otherwise
displays "No".
The following information is displayed only if the device has registered the information (for example, the
switch automatically registers SCSI inquiry data for FCP target devices):
•FC4s supported
•IP address
•Port and node symbolic names
•Fabric Port Name. This is the WWN of the port on the switch to which the device is physically
connected.
•Port address or port IP address
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following optional operands:
-r Replaces the time-to-live (TTL) attribute output with state change registration
(SCR) information. This value indicates what type of RSCN a device registers to
receive. Values include the following:
SCR=0x00000000
Reserved.
SCR=0x00000001
Fabric detected registration. Register to receive all RSCN requests issued by the
fabric controller for events detected by the fabric.
SCR=0x00000002
NX_Port detected registration. Register to receive all RSCN requests issued for
events detected by the affected NX_Port.
SCR=0x00000003
Register to receive all RSCN requests issued. The RSCN request returns all
effected N_Port_ID pages.
The following SCR values use the 4th byte of the SCR value and can coexist with
the SCR values of 0x00000000, 0x00000001, 0x00000002, and 0x00000003.
SCR=0x01000000
Principal switch RSCN registration. Register to receive proprietary RSCN
(principal switch change).
SCR=0x02000000
AG_QOS RSCN registration.
-t Displays the device type. The device type is defined in terms of two attributes. The
first attribute indicates the origination of the device as one of the following:
Physical The device is connected to the NX_Port, using FLOGI to log in to the switch.
Fabric OS Command Reference 621
53-1003108-01
nsShow 2
Virtual The device is contrived by the switch.
NPV The device is connected to the NX_Port, using FDISC to log in to the switch.
iSCSI The device is connected to the iSCSI port.
The second attribute indicates the role of the device. Valid role attributes include
the following:
Unknown (initiator/target)
Device role is not detected
Initiator An iSCSI initiator.
Target An iSCSI target.
Initiator+Target Both an iSCSI initiator and an iSCSI target.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the zone names that a specified device or device-pair are part of. The
devices can be zoned as part of regular zones, Traffic Isolation (TI) zones, or Frame Redirect (RD)
zones.
•If you specify a single Port ID (PID) or world wide name (WWN), the command displays the names
of the regular zones, RD zones, or TI zones that the devices belong to.
•If you specify a PID pair or WWN pair, the command displays the names of the common zones
(regular, RD or TI zones) that the device pairs share.
•For devices zoned as part of an RD zone, the command displays the following information:
-If you specify the PID or WWN pair for a given host and virtual target (VT) pair, the command
displays the RD zone name.
-If you specify the PID or WWN pair for a given virtual host (VI) and target pair, the command
displays the RD zone name.
-If you specify the PID or WWN for a given VI or VT, the command displays the RD zone name.
-If you specify the PID or WWN pair for a given host and target pair, the command displays the
regular zone name and the RD zone name.
-If you specify the PID or WWN for a given host or target, the command displays the regular
zone name and the RD zone name.
The host, target, VI and VT are specified while creating zones using the zone command. The RD
zone names will start with the prefix 'red_0917'. You can use the cfgshow or the zone
--showcommand to view the zone configuration information.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-pid pid Displays the zone names that the PID belongs to.
-wwn wwn Displays the zone names that the WWN belongs to.
-pid "pid1,pid2"Displays the zone names of the common zones where both PIDs are zoned
together.
-wwn "wwn1,wwn2"Displays the zone names of the common zones where both WWNs are zoned
together.

passwd 2
passwd
Changes the password for a specified user.
SYNOPSIS passwd
[user_account]
[-old old_password]
[-new new_password]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to change a user account password.
Passwords can be changed locally on any switch. For the password database to be distributed to other
switches in the fabric, the switches must be configured to accept the password database with the fddCfg
command. The password database is distributed manually with the distribute command.
If RADIUS authentication is enabled, password change is blocked forusers changing their own
password. Administrators with the privilege to change passwords for other accounts may do so
regardless of whether RADIUS authentication is enabled; all such password changes operate on the
local password database.
The passwd command cannot be run on the Standby CP. When an admin account or a SecurityAdmin
account changes the password for other accounts, it does not prompt for the current password, unless
the target account is a factory or root account.
Any chosen password must satisfy the following password strength rules:
•Password contains the minimum required number of lowercase characters.
•Password contains the minimum required number of uppercase characters.
•Password contains the minimum required number of numeric characters
•Password contains the minimum required number of punctuation characters.
•Password must be between minlength and 40 characters long. The minlength parameter is set with
the passwdCfg command.
•Password may not contain the colon (:) character.
•Password must satisfy repeated and sequential character constraints.
The password history policy is enforced across all user accounts when the user is setting his own
password. The password history policy is not enforced when an administrator sets a password for
another user, but the user's password history is preserved and the password set by the administrator is
recorded in the user's password history.
The passwd command behaves as follows:
•If you are changing your own password, you are prompted to enter the old password and, if your
entry is valid, you are prompted to enter the new password. Alternately, you may specify the old and
new password on the command line.
•If a you are changing another user's password with greater privileges than your current login level,
you are prompted to enter that user level's old password and, if your entry is valid, you are prompted
for a new password.
•If you are changing another user's password, the target account's AD member list must be a subset
of your account's AD member list.
•If you are logged in as the root user when changing another user's password, you are not prompted
to enter the old password. If you are a factory account, an admin, or SecurityAdmin account, you are
not prompted to enter the current password unless the target account is root.
•Changing the password of any user level causes the login session of that account (if logged in) to
terminate.
When invoked without an operand, this command changes the password for the current user account.

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.
OPERANDS The following operand is optional:
user_account Specifies the user account for which the password is to be changed. The user
account must be an existing account, either default or user-created. Only users
with accounts of type "root", "factory", "SecurityAdmin", or "admin" can execute
this operand and have permission to change passwords for accounts other than
their own.
-old old_password Specifies the old password. This operand is optional; if omitted, the command
interactively prompts for the old password.
-new new_password Specifies the new password. This operand is optional; if omitted and only the old
password is specified on the command line, the command interactively prompts
for the new password.

passwdCfg
Manages the password policies.
SYNOPSIS passwdcfg --set options value
passwdcfg --setuser username options value
passwdcfg --disableadminlockout
passwdcfg --enableadminlockout
passwdcfg --setdefault
passwdcfg --showall
passwdcfg --showuser username
passwdcfg --deleteuser username

passwdcfg --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage password policies.
Use --set to configure the following password policies:
•Password strength policy
•Password history policy
•Password expiration policy
•Account lockout policy
Password Strength Policy
The password strength policy enforces a set of rules that new passwords must satisfy. Configurable rules
include lowercase and uppercase characters, numbers, punctuation occurrences and minimum length
values. It is enforced only when a new password is defined. The password strength policy is enforced
cross all user accounts. When a password fails more than one of the strength attributes, an error is
reported for only one of the attributes at a time.
Password History Policy
The password history policy prevents reuse of a recently used password. The password history policy is
enforced across all user accounts when users are setting their own password. It is not enforced when an
administrator sets a password for another user, but the user's password history is preserved and the
password set by the administrator is recorded in the user's password history.
Password Expiration Policy
The password expiration policy forces expiration of a password after a specified period of time. When a
user's password expires, the user must change the password to complete the authentication process. A
warning that password expiration is approaching is displayed when the user logs in. The number of days
prior to password expiration during which warnings commence is a configurable parameter. Password
expiration does not disable or lock out the account. The password expiration policy is enforced across all
user accounts except the root and factory accounts.
Account Lockout Policy
Fabric OS Command Reference 633
53-1003108-01
passwdCfg 2
The account lockout policy disables a user account when the user exceeds a configurable number of
failed login attempts. The mechanism can be configured to keep the account locked until explicit
administrative action is taken to unlock the account or locked accounts can be automatically unlocked
after a specified period. An administrator can unlock a locked account at any time. Note that the account
locked state is distinct from the account disabled state. The account lockout policy is enforced across all
user accounts except the root, factory, and SecurityAdmin role accounts. A separate configuration option,
available to the SecurityAdmin and Admin role accounts, may be used to enable and disable applications
of the account lockout policy to Admin role accounts.
A failed login attempt counter is maintained for each user on each switch instance. The counters for all
user accounts are reset to zero when the account lockout policy is enabled. The counter for an individual
account is reset to zero when the account is unlocked after the lock-out duration period expires.
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.
OPERANDS This command takes as input an operand and its associated arguments. When invoked without
operands, the command prints the usage.
--showall Displays the password configuration parameters.
--showuser usernameDisplays the password configuration parameters for a specific user.
--setdefault Resets all password policies to their default values.
--set Configures a specified password policy.
-lowercase value Specifies the minimum number of lowercase alphabetic characters that must
occur in the password. The default value is 0. The maximum value must be less
than or equal to the -minlength value.
-uppercase valueSpecifies the minimum number of uppercase alphabetic characters that must
occur in the password. The default value is 0. The maximum value must be less
than or equal to the -minlength value.
-digits value Specifies the minimum number of numeric digits that must occur in the password.
The default value is 0. The maximum value must be less than or equal to the
-minlength value.
-punctuation value
Specifies the minimum number of punctuation characters that must occur in the
password. All displayable, non-alphanumeric punctuation characters, except the
colon (:), are allowed. The default value is 0. The maximum value must be less
than or equal to the -minlength value.
-minlength value Specifies the minimum length of the password. The minimum can be set
anywhere between 8 and 40 characters. The default value is 8. The total of
-lowercase, -uppercase, -digits, -punctuation must be less than or equal to
-minlength value.
-history value Specifies the number of past password values that are disallowed when setting a
new password. A value of 0 to 24 can be specified. The default value is 0.
634 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
passwdCfg
2
-minpasswordage value
Specifies the minimum number of days that must elapse before a password can
be changed. -minpasswordage can be set at 0 to 999. The default value is 0.
Setting this parameter to a nonzero value discourages a user from rapidly
changing a password in order to defeat the password history setting to reuse a
recently used password. The minpasswordage policy is not enforced when an
administrator changes the password for another user.
-maxpasswordage value
Specifies the maximum number of days that can elapse before a password must
be changed. This is the password expiration period. -maxpasswordage can be
set at 0 to 999. Setting this parameter to 0 disables password expiration. The
default value is 0. When -maxpasswordage is set to a nonzero value,
-minpasswordage must be set to a value less than or equal to
-maxpasswordage.
-warning value Specifies the number of days prior to password expiration that a warning of
password expiration is displayed. The valid range for -warning is 0 to 999. The
default value to 0.
-lockoutthreshold value
Specifies the number of times a user can specify an incorrect password during
login before the account is locked. The number of failed login attempts is counted
from the last successful login. Values for -lockoutthreshold range from 0 to 999.
Setting this parameter to 0 disables the lockout mechanism. The default value is
0.
-lockoutduration value
Specifies the time, in minutes, after which a previously locked account
automatically unlocks. lockoutduration values range from 0 to 99999. The
default value is 30. Setting this parameter to 0 disables lockout duration, requiring
an administrative action to unlock the account. The lockout duration begins with
the first login attempt after the lockout threshold has been reached. Subsequent
failed login attempts do not extend the lockout period.
-repeat value Specifies the length of repeated character sequences that will be disallowed. For
example, if the "repeat" value is set to 3, a password "passAAAword" is disallowed
because it contains the repeated sequence "AAA". A password of "passAAword"
would be allowed because no repeated character sequence exceeds two
characters. The range of allowed values is 1 to 40.
-sequence value Specifies the length of sequential character sequences that will be disallowed. In a
character sequence, the ASCII value of each contiguous character differs by one.
The ASCII value for the characters in the sequence must all be increasing or
decreasing. For example, if the "sequence" value is set to 3, a password
"passABCword" is disallowed because it contains the sequence "ABC". A
password of "passABword" would be allowed because no repeated character
sequence exceeds two characters. The range of allowed values is 1 to 40. The
default value is 1.
-reverse [1|0] Activates (1) or deactivates (0) the validation check to determine whether the
password is an exact reverse string of the username.
--setuser username Configures the password policy for a specific user.

passwdCfg 2
-minpasswordage value
Specifies the minimum number of days that must elapse before a password can
be changed. -minpasswordage can be set at 0 to 999. The default value is 0.
Setting this parameter to a nonzero value discourages a user from rapidly
changing a password in order to defeat the password history setting to reuse a
recently used password. The minpasswordage policy is not enforced when an
administrator changes the password for another user.
-maxpasswordage value
Specifies the maximum number of days that can elapse before a password must
be changed. This is the password expiration period. -maxpasswordage can be
set at 0 to 999. Setting this parameter to 0 disables password expiration. The
default value is 0. When -maxpasswordage is set to a nonzero value,
-minpasswordage must be set to a value less than or equal to
-maxpasswordage.
-warning value Specifies the number of days prior to password expiration that a warning of
password expiration is displayed. The valid range for -warning is 0 to 999. The
default value to 0.
--enableadminlockout
Enables the admin lockout policy and sets the config parameter
"passwdcfg.adminlockout" to 1. If the parameter "passwdcfg.lockoutthreshold" is
set to greater than 0 and Admin Lockout policy is enabled, then, if the number of
failed login attempts from the last successful login equals the
"passwdcfg.lockoutthreshold", the account gets locked for the
"passwdcfg.lockoutduration" duration. The particular account is unlocked
manually using userconfig --change account_name -u or it is automatically
unlocked after "passwdcfg.lockoutduration" duration.
--disableadminlockout
Disables the admin lockout policy if already enabled and sets the config
parameter "passwdcfg.adminlockout" to 0. By default, admin lockout policy is
disabled.
--deleteuser username
Removes the password expiration polices for a particular user account.
--deleteuser -all Removes the password expiration policies of all users.

pathInfo

pathInfo
Displays routing information and statistics along a path covering multiple switches.
SYNOPSIS pathinfo
pathinfo -f FID dest_switch_domain [source_port] [dest_port]
[-sid source_pid] [-did dest_pid] [-r] [-t]
pathinfo dest_switch_domain [source_port] [dest_port]
[-sid source_pid] [-did dest_pid] [-r] [-t]
pathinfo --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display routing information from a source port on the local switch to a destination
port on another switch. The command output describes the exact data path between these ports,
including all intermediate switches.
When using pathInfo across fabrics connected through an FC Router, the command represents
backbone information as a single hop. The command captures details about the FC Router to which
ingress and egress EX_Ports are connected, but it hides the details about the path the frame traverses
between the ingress EX_Ports to the egress EX_Ports in the backbone.
To use pathInfo across remote fabrics, you must specify both the fabric ID (FID) and the domain ID of
the remote switch. You cannot use the command to obtain source port information across remote FCR
fabrics. When obtaining path info across remote fabrics, the destination switch must be identified by its
Domain ID. Identifying the switch by name or WWN is not accepted.
The command does not retry if there is a timeout or failure. It may fail if a switch along the path is busy or
does not support this feature.
If the advanced performance tuning (APT) policy in effect on the intermediate switches is not a
port-based policy, subsequent data streams may not take the same path as displayed in the pathInfo
output. Refer to aptPolicy for more information on advanced performance tuning policies.
If you specify an inactive port or a path through a switch that does not have active routing tables to the
destination, this command describes the path that would be taken if the ports were active. If you specify a
destination port that is not active, this command uses the embedded port as the destination.
The ingress and egress points above 256 are specified as port index. Use switchShow for a listing of
valid port index numbers.
To display the TI-enabled path across FCR, you must specify both source ID (SID) and destination ID
(DID). The DID must be the proxy device ID and you can view the proxy device IDs using the nsAllShow
command.
In addition, pathInfo can provide statistics on every traversed interswitch link (ISL) that is part of the
path. This feature is available only in the interactive command mode.
The routing and statistics information are provided by every switch along the path, based on the current
routing table information and statistics calculated continuously in real-time. Each switch represents one
hop of the total path.
In a Virtual Fabric environment, pathInfo displays port numbers beyond physical port numbers while
displaying information for a hop that corresponds to a path in the base fabric. The cost for this hop is the
cost of the corresponding path in the base fabric plus a small offset. Refer to the Examples section for an
illustration.
Other command options allow the collection of information on the reverse path, or on a user-selected
path (source route).
Fabric OS Command Reference 639
53-1003108-01
pathInfo 2
For each hop, this command displays the following fields:
Hop The hop number. The local switch is hop 0.
In Port The port on which the switch receives frames. For hop 0, this is source_port.
identified by the port index.
Domain ID The domain ID of the switch.
Name The name of the switch.
Out Port The output port that the frames take to reach the next hop. For the last hop, this is
destination_port identified by the port index.
BW The bandwidth of the output interswitch link (ISL), in Gbps. This parameter does
not apply to the embedded port. If the bandwidth is zero, it is displayed as 1 Gbps.
For logical interswitch links (LISL) ports, the bandwidth displays as 8 Gbps, the
maximum bandwidth on hardware platforms on which LISLs can be formed. In
cases where the LISL bandwidth is zero, pathInfo displays a bandwidth of 4
Gbps.
Cost The cost of the output link used by the fabric shortest path first (FSPF) routing
protocol. This parameter applies only if the output link is recognized by FSPF.
You can request more detailed statistics for each hop in addition to the routing information. These
statistics are presented for the input and output ports for both receive and transmit modes. You can
select basic or extended statistics or both when running pathInfo in interactive mode. Statistics are not
reported for the embedded port. Some throughput values are reported in multiple time intervals, to
describe both current path utilization and the average throughput over a larger period of time.
To collect these statistics, this command uses a special pathInfo frame that is sent hop-by-hop from the
source switch to the destination switch. To prevent such a frame to loop forever if an error occurs, a
maximum number of hops for the frame to traverse is enforced. The hop count includes all hops in the
direct path from source to destination, and also all the hops in the reverse path, if the tracing of the
reverse path is requested. The default value for the maximum hop count is 25.
Basic statistics Basic statistics report parameters that may indicate ISL congestion along the
path. They include the following:
B/s Bytes per second received or transmitted. This value is reported for multiple time
periods displayed in parentheses.
Txcrdz The length of time, in milliseconds, that the port was unable to transmit frames
because the transmit BB credit was zero. The purpose of this statistic is to detect
congestion or a device affected by latency. This parameter is sampled at 1
millisecond intervals, and the counter is incremented if the condition is true. Each
sample represents 1 ms of time with zero Tx BB Credit. An increment of this
counter means that the frames could not be sent to the attached device for 1 ms,
indicating degraded performance. This value reports for multiple time periods,
displayed in parentheses. Note that other commands, such as portStatsShow,
may express this value in units other than milliseconds.
640 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
pathInfo
2
Extended statistics Extended statistics report variables of general interest. They include the following:
F/s The number of frames received or transmitted per second. This value is reported
for multiple time periods, displayed in parentheses.
Words The total number of 4-byte Fibre Channel words.
Frames The total number of frames.
Errors The total number of errors that may have caused a frame not to be received
correctly. This includes cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors, bad end-of-frame
(EOF) errors, frame truncated errors, frame-too-short errors, and encoding errors
inside a frame.
Reverse path The path from port A on switch X to port B on switch Y may be different from the
path from port B to port depending on the links traversed between a given
sequence of switches, or the reverse path may involve different switches. The -r
option displays routing and statistics information for the reverse path in addition to
those for the direct path.
Source route The source route option allows you to specify a sequence of switches or ports,
which the pathInfo frame has to traverse to reach the destination. Therefore, the
path specified may be different from the one used by actual traffic.
The source route is expressed as a sequence of switches, a sequence of output
ports, or a combination of both. The next hop in the source route is described by
either the output port to be used to reach the next hop, or the domain ID of the
next hop.
The source route can specify a full route from source to destination or a partial
route. In a partial route the remaining hops are chosen as the path from the input
port on the first hop not listed in the source route to the destination. The maximum
hop count is enforced in both cases.
If the source route does not specify all the switches along a section of the path,
you can specify a strict or a loose path. A strict source route requires that only the
specified switches are reported in the path description. If two switches are
specified back-to-back in the source route descriptor but are not directly
connected, the switches in-between are ignored. In a loose source route, the
switches in-between are reported. The concepts of strict and loose route apply
only to the portions of the path described by domains, not to the part described by
output ports.

pathInfo 2
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
dest_switch_domain Specifies the destination switch. To obtain path info in a Layer 2 fabric, the
destination switch can be identified by its Domain ID, by the switch WWN, or by
the switch name. To obtain path info across remote fabrics connected through an
FC Router, the destination switch must be identified by its Domain ID. Identifying
the switch by name or WWN is not accepted. This operand is optional; if omitted,
the command prompts for input interactively.
source_port Specifies the port whose path to the destination domain is traced, specified as the
port index. The embedded port (-1) is the default. The embedded port can be
selected manually by entering the value of MAX_PORT. MAX_PORT stands for
the maximum number of ports supported by the local switch.
dest_port Specifies the port on the destination switch for the path being traced. This operand
returns the state of this port. The embedded port (-1) is used by default, or if you
specify a destination port that is not active. The destination is specified as the port
index.
"-r" Displays the reverse path in addition to the forward path. This operand is optional.
-t Displays the command output in traceroute format. When this operand is used,
only routing information is displayed. The output includes the time it takes, in
microseconds, to reach each hop. Basic and extended statistics are not available
in the traceroute format.
-sid source_pid Specifies the source ID of the originator device in "0xDDAAPP" format, where DD
is domain ID, AA is area ID and PP is AL_PA ID.
-did dest_pid Specifies the destination ID of the proxy device in "0xDDAAPP" format, where DD
is domain ID, AA is area ID and PP is AL_PA ID. You can view the proxy device
IDs using the nsAllShow command.
--help Displays the command usage.
When executed without operands, pathInfo runs interactively. Specifying a destination switch is required;
the values for the source and destination ports can be -1 to indicate the embedded port. You must specify
the source and destination PID to display the correct TI-enabled path information across the FCR.
Reverse-path tracing is optional. In addition, this command prompts for the following parameters:

perfAddEEMonitor
Adds an end-to-end monitor to a port.
SYNOPSIS perfaddeemonitor [slot/]port SourceID DestID [-force]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to add an end-to-end performance monitor to a port. The performance monitor counts
the number of words received, number of words transmitted, and number of CRC errors detected using
either of the following conditions:
•For frames received at the port, the frame SID is the same as SourceID and frame DID is the same
as DestID; both RX_COUNT and CRC_COUNT are updated accordingly.
•For frames transmitted from the port, the frame DID is the same as SourceID and frame SID is the
same as DestID; both TX_COUNT and CRC_COUNT are updated accordingly.
To monitor traffic from host A to device B, add a monitor on port 2, specifying 0x050200 as the SID and
0x010100 as the DID. The RX count equals the number of words from host A to device B, whereas the
TX count equals the number of words from device B to host A. The CRC count equals the total number of
CRC errors for both directions. Adding a monitor on port 1, specifying 0x010100 as SID and 0X050200
as the DID has a similar effect, except the RX and TX counts are interchanged.
To monitor traffic between one Initiator host and one target storage device connected to an Encryption
Switch, you must add two monitors because of the manner in which the real initiators or targets transfer
data to VIs and VTs. The first monitor would be added between the initiator SID and the virtual initiator
DID, and the second monitor would be set up between virtual target SID and the target DID. Refer to the
Examples section for details.
Identical monitors cannot be added to the same port. Two monitors are considered identical if they have
the same SID and DID values after applying the end-to-end mask.
Execution of this command displays a monitor number, which can be used to manipulate performance
monitors.
Because of a hardware limitation on Brocade devices, the following types of monitors cannot coexist on
the same ASIC chip:
•If an end-to-end monitor is installed on a port in a given ASIC, you cannot install an ingress or
egress Top Talker monitor on another port on the same ASIC.
•If an ingress Top Talker monitor is installed on a port in a given ASIC, you cannot install an egress
Top Talker monitor or an end-to-end monitor on another port of the same ASIC.
•If an egress Top Talker monitor is installed on a port in a given ASIC, you cannot install an ingress
Top Talker monitor or an end-to-end monitor on another port of the same ASIC.
You can use the -force option to override these limitations and install incompatible monitors on ports of
the same ASIC. However, if you choose to do so, be aware that the statistics will not be accurate.
NOTES This command requires an Advanced Performance Monitoring license.
This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, M (Mirror) ports, and GbE
ports.
On 8Gb (Condor 2-based) platforms, End-to-End monitors are supported only on F_Ports. On 16Gb
(Condor 3-based) platforms, End-to-End monitor are supported on both F_Ports and E_Ports. When
installing an end-to-end monitor on an E_Port, be sure to install the SID and DID in the ingress direction.
End-to-end monitors are non-persistent and will be removed when you reboot the system or disable the
port. To make the monitors persistent, issue the perfCfgSave command before you perform operations
that causes the port to go offline. Issue the perfCfgRestore command after the port comes back up.

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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port on which the
monitor is to be added, followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port on which the monitor is to be added, relative to its
slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports.
SourceID Specifies the 3-byte SID (Source ID) of the originator device. It should be in
"0xDDAAPP" format, where DD is domain ID, AA is area ID and PP is AL_PA ID.
For example, 0x050200 has a domain ID of 5, an area ID of 2, and an AL_PA ID of
0. SourceID and DestID both cannot be 0x000000.
DestID Specifies the 3-byte DID (destination ID) of the destination device. It should be in
"0xDDAAPP" format, where DD is domain ID, AA is area ID and PP is AL_PA ID.
For example, 0x050200 has a domain ID of 5, an area ID of 2, and an AL_PA ID of
0. SourceID and DestID both cannot be 0x000000.
-force Overrides a hardware limitation that does not allow incompatible monitors to
coexist on the same ASIC chip.
EXAMPLES To add an end-to-end monitor to blade 1 port 2:
switch:admin> perfaddeemonitor 1/2 0x050200 0x1182ef
End-to-End monitor number 0 added.
To add an end-to-end monitor to an Encryption switch ( In this scenario, one target disk storage device
connects to the Encryption switch, and an initiator device connects to a DCX backbone. The DCX is
directly connected to the Encryption Switch. Two EE monitors are added on port 1 of the Encryption
Switch, which is an F_Port that attaches to the target device):

perfResourceShow
Displays performance monitor resources for a logical switch.
SYNOPSIS perfresourceshow --portttRes [[slot/]port]
perfResourceShow --eeRes [[slot/]port]
perfResourceShow --fabmodeRes
perfResourceShow --installed [[slot/]port]
perfResourceShow --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to determine the physical resources available to support the installation of
performance monitors on a logical switch port.
In a Virtual Fabric environment, performance monitors installed on a logical switch share the physical
resources of the switches that make up the base fabric. To make efficient usage of existing system
resources, such as link table size for all supported monitors, the resources reserved for a given logical
switch are allocated when the first monitor is installed on a port belonging to that logical switch. The
resources are de-allocated when the last monitor installed on a given partition is removed.
This command displays the resource availability for the current logical switch context. The display
includes the maximum of supported monitors, the number of monitors currently installed, and the
remaining available resources.
In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, this command displays the resources for 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.
OPERANDS This command has the following optional operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port for which to display
the resources, followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port for which to display the resources, relative to its
slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports.
--portttRes Displays the number of Top Talkers that can be installed on a specified port. If no
port is specified, this command displays the resources for all ports on the current
logical switch.
--eeRes Displays the number of EE monitors that can be supported on the specified port. If
no port is specified, this command displays the resources for all ports on the
current logical switch.
--fabmodeRes Displays whether fabric mode Top Talkers are running on the current logical
switch. A port is not required with this operand.
--installed Displays the monitor types installed on a specified port.

perfSetPortEEMask 2
perfSetPortEEMask
Sets the overall mask for end-to-end (EE) performance monitors.
SYNOPSIS perfsetporteemask [slot/]port
"TxSIDMsk " "TxDIDMsk " "RxSIDMsk" "RxDIDMsk"
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set the mask for an end-to-end (EE) performance monitor. This command allows
selecting the Fibre Channel frames for which to collect performance statistics. When setting the EE mask
on a port, all existing EE monitors on that port are deleted.
This command controls all three address fields (Domain ID, Area ID, and AL_PA ID) of both the source
ID and destination ID, which can be used to trigger the monitor.
The address mask is of the form "dd:aa:pp", where "dd" is the Domain ID mask, "aa" is the Area ID mask,
and "pp" is AL_PA ID mask.
Specify the following values to turn a specific field on or off:
00 Specifies that the field does not trigger EE monitors.
ff Specifies that the field does trigger EE monitors.
The default EE mask value is 0xffffff.
When a mask is set (0xff), the corresponding field triggers the monitor. If the mask is unset (0x00), the
corresponding field is ignored.
For example, "00:ff:00" uses only the Area ID to trigger the EE monitor.
There is only one EE mask per port. The mask is applied to all eight EE monitors available on a port. The
default EE mask value upon power-on is already set. When ISL monitoring is enabled, the EE mask on
E_Ports is controlled automatically and existing mask values for E_Ports are over-written.
NOTES This command requires an Advanced Performance Monitoring license.
This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, M (Mirror) ports and GbE
ports.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, this operand specifies the slot number of the port on
which the monitor is to be updated, followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port on which the EE mask is to be updated, relative
to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports.
TxSIDMsk Specify the transmitting source ID mask in dd:aa:pp format, with quotation marks,
where dd is the domain ID mask, aa is the Area ID mask, and pp is AL_PA ID
mask. For example, "00:ff:00" uses only the Area ID to trigger the EE monitor.
Specify the following values to turn a specific field on or off:
00 Specifies that the field does not trigger EE monitors.

perfTTmon
Installs the Top Talker monitor in the specified mode.
SYNOPSIS perfttmon
Port Mode:
perfttmon --add egress | ingress [slot/]port [-force]
perfttmon --show [slot/]port
[number_of_flows] [wwn| pid]
perfttmon --delete [[slot/]port | -all | -sconfig]
Fabric Mode:
perfttmon --add fabricmode
perfttmon --show dom domain id
[number_of_flows] [wwn| pid]
perfttmon --delete fabricmode
perfttmon --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to install the Top Talker monitor. The Top Talker feature provides real-time information
about the top 'n' bandwidth consuming flows from a set of a large number of flows passing through a
specific point in the network (after initial stabilization).
Top Talkers can display between 1 and 32 flows depending on hardware platform. For the Brocade 300,
5100, 5300, 6505, 6510, 6520, FC8-xx, and FC16-xx port blades, a maximum of 32 flows are displayed.
Top Talker supports the following two modes, Port Mode and Fabric Mode:
•In Port Mode, Top Talker is installed at the port level to measure the traffic flowing through the port
to different destinations. The output displays the data in a sorted order based on the data rate of
each flow.
•In Fabric Mode, Top Talker measures the top "n" bandwidth using flows on a given switch. Top
Talker installs only on E_Ports and measures the data rate of all the possible flows in the fabric. Flow
is a pair of communicating FC addresses (SID and DID). Top Talkers in Fabric Mode and EE
monitors are mutually exclusive. EE monitors must be removed from all switches before enabling
fabric mode.
Because of a hardware limitation on Brocade devices, the following types of monitors cannot coexist on
the same ASIC chip:
•If an end-to-end monitor is installed on a port in a given ASIC, you cannot install an ingress or
egress Top Talker monitor on another port on the same ASIC.
•If an ingress Top Talker monitor is installed on a port in a given ASIC, you cannot install an egress
Top Talker monitor or an end-to-end monitor on another port of the same ASIC.
•If an egress Top Talker monitor is installed on a port in a given ASIC, you cannot install an ingress
Top Talker monitor or an end-to-end monitor on another port of the same ASIC.
You can use the -force option to override these limitations and install incompatible monitors on ports of
the same ASIC. However, if you choose to do so, be aware that the statistics will not be accurate.

on F_Ports. On 16Gb (Condor 3-based) platforms, port-based Top Talkers are
supported on both F_Ports and E_Ports.
Port-level Top Talker commands:
--add Installs the Top Talker monitor on a specified F_Port or E_Port.
egress | ingress Used with the --add option to specify the direction in which the traffic is monitored
as incoming or outgoing. This operand is required.
-force Overrides a hardware limitation that does not allow incompatible monitors to
coexist on the same ASIC chip.
--show Displays the top talking flows on a specified port.
number of top talking flows
Specifies "n" top talking flows. Valid values are between 1 and 32. If a value
greater than 32 is entered, Top Talker displays counters for only 32 flows and a
warning message. This operand is optional; if omitted, the command displays the
top 8 flows.
wwn | pid Specifies the output display as either WWN or PID format. This operand is
optional. If omitted, the command displays in WWN format.
--delete Deletes existing Top Talker monitors on the specified F_Ports or E_Ports. You can
specify a single monitor by its port number, or you can specify all monitors. The
-sconfig option deletes all stale monitors.
-all Deletes all Top Talker monitors from online ports.

-sconfig On a Condor 3-based platforms, the -sconfig option deletes all stale Top Talker
monitor entries from the configuration file. A Top Talker monitor is considered stale
when it can no longer monitor due to a configuration change, but it still exists in
the persistent configuration. For example, a Top Talker becomes stale when a port
configured for Top Talker goes offline or when a port blade is removed from the
chassis
On Condor 2-based platforms, the -sconfig option deletes all Top Talker monitors,
as well as the configuration keys of all Top Talker monitors in the configuration file.
This option deletes all configured monitors, regardless of the port state (online,
etc).
When a stale Top Talker entry is still present in the configuration file, you cannot
enable FC routing services on Condor 2 platform, because Top Talkers cannot
coexist with FC Routing services. FC Routing services and Top Talker monitors
may coexist in a Condor 3 environment.
Fabric Mode Top Talker commands:
--add fabricmode Installs the Top Talker monitor on all switches in the fabric. When a new switch
joins the fabric, this command must be run again on the switch. The TT
configuration information is not propagated automatically to the new switch. In a
mixed chassis configuration containing both 8Gb and 16Gb port blades, fabric
mode is blocked when FCR is enabled. Port-level Top Talkers will be allowed on
16Gb blades but not on 8Gb blades when FCR is enabled. When you insert an
8Gb port blade into a chassis with fabric mode and FCR enabled, the blade is
faulted. Use the fosConfig command to disable FCR or disable the fabric mode
Top Talker.
--show Displays the Top Talking flows on the switch for a given domain ID.
dom dom_id Specifies the domain ID for the flow display.
number of top talking flows
Specifies "n" Top Talking flows. Valid values are between 1 and 32. If a value
greater than 32 is entered, Top Talker displays counters for only 32 flows and a
warning message. This operand is optional; if omitted, the command displays the
top 8 flows.
wwn | pid Specifies display as either WWN or PID format. This operand is optional; if
omitted, the command displays in WWN format.
--delete fabricmode Deletes the Fabric Mode Top Talker.
--help Displays the command usage.

portAddress
Assigns the lower 16 bits of the Fibre Channel Port ID.
SYNOPSIS portaddress --bind [slot/]port [16-bit_address] [--auto]
portaddress --unbind [slot/]port
portaddress --show [[slot/]port]
portaddress --findPID 24-bit_Port_ID
portaddress --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to bind the 16-bit address to the lower two bytes of a port 24-bit Fibre Channel
address, or to unbind the currently bound address for the specified port. Changes effected by this
command are persistent across reboots and power cycles.
The port must be offline to bind an address and not currently bound to another address. If the port is
currently bound to another address, use this command with the --unbind option to unbind the port.
This command returns an error if the chosen address is in use or is bound to another port. If the address
is currently assigned to another port, use this command with the --findPID option to identify the port that
is bound to that address, and then unbind the port.
The command provides a --show option that displays the currently bound address for a specified port or
for all ports. Alternately, you can use the --findPID option to display the port currently bound to a
specified port ID (PID).
NOTES This command is supported on the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, and DCX 8510-4 on all logical
switches including the Default Switch. Virtual Fabrics must be enabled. It is also supported on the
Brocade 300, 5100, 5300, 6510, 7800, and VA-40FC, regardless of Virtual Fabrics status.
This command is not supported on embedded platforms.
If a blade port is qualified to be in a user-created logical switch on a Brocade XDCX, DCX-4S, DCX
8510-4 or DCX 8510-8, this feature is supported on those ports. In the Default Switch, AP blades such as
the Brocade FCOE10-24 or FS8-18 are not supported, when dynamic area mode is enabled. This is
enforced by the software.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--bind Assigns the lower two bytes of the Fibre Channel address to the specified port.
slot Specifies the slot number on bladed systems, followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the port number, relative to its slot on bladed systems.
16-bit_address Specifies the 16-bit address to be bound to the FC address. Note that only the
upper 10 bits of the PID can be used for a unique route. Therefore, not all
addresses in the 16-bit range are available.
Fabric OS Command Reference 673
53-1003108-01
portAddress 2
--auto Enables autobinding on the specified port. If the auto feature is enabled, the entire
area field of the PID is bound to a single port. With 10-bit routing, up to 4 ports can
share the same 8-bit area field of the PID. This address assignment mode
dedicates all four unique routes to a single port. By default, auto is off. This
operand is optional; if unspecified, the default is used.
--unbind Removes both the address and any automode override configuration from the
specified port.
--show Displays the currently bound address attributes for the specified port. This
command shows the lowest two bytes of the Fibre Channel address as well as the
current setting for automode. If a port is not specified, the display shows the
Partition Address Mode value (0, 1, or 2) and all ports on the current partition. A -1
is displayed for ports that have not been assigned an area. Areas are dynamically
assigned an address as they are added to a partition. The Partition Address Mode
value is set by the configure command (Enable a 256 Area Limit).
--findPID Displays the port (slot and port offset) of the port that is currently assigned the
provided address. This command applies the 10-bit area mask to the provided
PID and returns the port that has been assigned the specified address. Therefore
not all 24 bits are required to match exactly.
24-bit_Port_ID Specifies the 24-bit Fibre Channel port address. This operand is required with the
--findPID option. This command applies the 10-bit area mask to the provided PID
and returns the port hat has been assigned the specified address. Therefore not
all 24 bits are required to match.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To bind a 16-bit address to the low two bytes of a port 24-bit Fibre Channel address:
switch:admin> portaddress --bind 5/18 0x1a00
To unbind a given address from a port:
switch:admin> portaddress --unbind 5/18 0x1a00

SYNOPSIS portalpashow [slot/]port
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the AL_PAs of devices connected to a port, and whether these devices are
public or private. If the specified port is not an active FL_Port or if no AL_PAs are present, this command
prints an error.
NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in

portBeacon
2
portBeacon
Sets port beaconing mode.
SYNOPSIS portbeacon --enable [slot/]port
portbeacon --disable [slot/]port
portbeacon --show [slot/]port
portbeacon --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable beaconing mode on a specified port.
When beaconing mode is enabled on a port, the port LED flashes amber and green for 2.5 seconds each
in an alternating pattern. The beaconing mode continues until you turn it off. Beaconing mode is useful if
you are trying to locate a specific port.
Beaconing mode takes over the port LEDs. The normal flashing LED pattern associated with an active,
faulty, or disabled port is suppressed, and only the beaconing pattern is shown. Other commands are still
executable and functional. However, if diagnostic frame-based tests such as portLoopbackTest are
executed, the diagnostic LED pattern is interleaved with the beaconing pattern. Running switch
beaconing or HBA- side (E2E) beaconing also overwrites the pattern.
The portBeacon command is one of three commands that control beaconing. Each command has a
clearly defined scope of action:
•The portBeacon command enables or disables beaconing on a specified port.
•The switchBeacon command enables or disables beaconing on all ports in the current logical
switch.
•The chassisBeacon command to enables or disables beaconing on all ports in the chassis.
The actions of the beaconing commands are independent and mutually exclusive. Existing portBeacon
settings remain unaffected if you enable or disable beaconing on the switch or on the chassis. Failure to
disable existing beaconing commands before using a different type of beaconing may cause the
commands to interfere with each other in unexpected ways.
Issue the portBeacon --show [slot/]port command to display beaconing for a specific port. The
switchShow command displays the status of the switchBeacon command only.
NOTES Beaconing of Inter Chassis Link (ICL) ports, GE ports, FCoE ports, 10G ports, and embedded internal
ports is not allowed.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port group to display,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed
systems. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports.
--enable Enables beaconing mode on the specified port.

portBufferCalc
Calculates the number of buffers required per port.
SYNOPSIS portbuffercalc [slot/]port [-distance distance]
[-speed speed] [-framesize framesize]
portBufferCalc --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to calculate how many buffers are required for a given distance, speed, and
framesize. You can use the same number of buffers and port speed, when configuring the
portCfgLongDistance command. If no options are specified, then the current port's configuration is
considered to calculate the number of buffers required.
NOTES Buffers required for the given frame size, distance and speed is calculated using the below formula:
•1 buffer is required for 1 km at 2G (2048 framesize).
•8 buffers are required for 1 km at 16G (2048 framesize).
OPERANDS This command supports the following operands:
-distance distance Specifies the desired distance with valid range of 10Km to 1500Km.
-speed speed Specifies the port speed. The valid values are:
1Specifies port speed as 1Gbps.
2Specifies port speed as 2Gbps.
4Specifies port speed as 4Gbps.
8Specifies port speed as 8Gbps.
10 Specifies port speed as 10Gbps.
16 Specifies port speed as 16Gbps.
-framesize framesize Specifies the desired framesize in bytes with a maximum value 2048.
--help Displays command usage.
EXAMPLES To calculate the buffers required per port:

portBufferShow 2
portBufferShow
Displays the buffer usage information for a port group or for all port groups in the switch.
SYNOPSIS portbuffershow [[slot/]port]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the current long distance buffer information for the ports in a port group.
The port group can be specified by giving any port number in that group. If no port is specified, then the
long distance buffer information for all of the port groups of the switch is displayed.
The following long distance information is displayed:
User Port Index number of the port.
Port Type E (E_Port), F (F_Port), G (G_Port), L (L_Port), or U (U_Port).
Lx Mode Long distance mode.
L0 Link is not in long distance mode.
LE Link is up to 10 km.
LD Distance is determined dynamically.
LS Distance is determined statically by user input.
Max/Resv Buffers The maximum or reserved number of buffers that are allocated to the port based
on the estimated distance (as defined by the desired_distance operand of the
portCfgLongDistance command). If the port is not configured in long distance
mode, certain systems might reserve buffers for the port. This field then displays
the number of buffers reserved for the port.
Avg Buffer Usage & FrameSize
The average buffer usage and average frame size for Tx and Rx.
Buffer Usage The actual number of buffers allocated to the port. In LD mode, the number is
determined by the actual distance and the user-specified desired distance (as
defined by the desired_distance operand of the portCfgLongDistance
command).
Needed Buffers The number of buffers needed to utilize the port at full bandwidth (depending on
the port configuration). If the number of Buffer Usage is less than the number of
Needed Buffers, the port is operating in the buffer limited mode.
Link Distance For L0 (not in long distance mode), the command displays the fixed distance
based on port speed, for instance: 10 km (1 Gbps), 5 km (2 Gbps), 2 km (4 Gbps),
or 1 km (8 Gbps). For static long distance mode (LE), the fixed distance of 10 km
displays. For LD mode, the distance in kilometers displays as measured by timing

the return trip of a MARK primitive that is sent and then echoed back to the switch.
LD mode supports distances up to 500 km. Distance measurement on a link
longer than 500 km might not be accurate. If the connecting port does not support
LD mode, is shows "N/A".
Remaining Buffers The remaining (unallocated and reserved) buffers in a port group.
A hyphen in one of the display fields indicates that no relevant information is available; there may be no
connection to a port, or the port is disabled, or the port is not an E_Port.
When invoked without operands, this command displays the long distance buffer information for all the
port groups of 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.
OPERANDS The following operands are optional:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port group to display,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of a port associated with the port group, relative to its slot for
bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports.

Displays port-based filter CAM utilization.
SYNOPSIS portcamshow [slot/]port
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the current filter Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) utilization of a
specified port.
The command displays the following information:
SID used Total number of CAM entries used by this port. Note that each CAM entry, either
source ID (SID) or destination ID (DID) CAM, can be shared among a certain
number of ports, depending on the ASIC.
DID used Total number of CAM entries used by this port. Note that each CAM entry (either
SID or DID CAM) can be shared among a certain number of ports, depending on
the ASIC.
SID entries All existing source ID entries within the CAM for this port. Note that each CAM
entry (either SID or DID CAM) can be shared among a certain number of ports,
depending on the ASIC.
DID entries All existing destination ID entries within the CAM for this port. Note that each CAM
entry (either SID or DID CAM) can be among a certain number of ports,
depending on the ASIC.
SID free The total number of free SID CAM entries available for use by this port.
DID free The total number of free DID CAM entries available for use by this port.
NOTES This command cannot be executed on a logical port.
Ports that support shared areas are divided into two ports: primary and secondary ports. Primary and
secondary ports share the same area. Port CAM entries displayed on the primary ports also consist of all
the secondary port SIDs and DIDs as well, when both the ports are F_Ports. This is because the primary
port acts as a proxy for the CAM entries of the secondary port, in this case using redirect filters.
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.
This command is not supported on FCoE ports.
This command cannot be executed on a logical port.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to display, followed
by a slash (/).

•portcfg mgmtif - Creates the inband management interfaces.
•portcfg mgmtroute - Creates the routes for the inband management interfaces.
•portcfg autoneg - Configure autonegotiation settings for 1 GbE ports.
To display the command usage on the switch, execute portcfg action without any further arguments.
NOTES IPv6 addresses are supported except for inband management. IP Security enabled FCIP Tunnels cannot
use IPv6 circuits.
In Fabric OS v7.0.0, the restrictions on addressing have been lifted. An IPv4 subnet can span multiple
GbE interfaces, and you can now have multiple IPv6 addresses with the same prefix configured on
different GbE interfaces on the same extension switch or blade.

portCfg 2
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the following parameters on a local FC port.
•portcfg mirrorport - Configure a mirror port on the local port.
•portcfg rscnsupr - Manage registered state change notification (RSCN) suppression on the local
port.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port[-port]Specifies a single port or a range of ports, for example, 3-22 or 1/3-8. port ranges
are supported only with the rscnsupr option.
rscnsupr Manages Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) suppression on the local
port. RSCN suppression is configurable only on FC ports. The syntax for portCfg
rscnsupr is as follows:
portcfg rscnsupr [slot/]port[-port] mode
The following modes are supported with the rscnsupr option:
--disable Disables the configuration. When disabled, device changes on the port generate
an RSCN to all other end devices that are zoned with this one. By default, RSCN
suppression is disabled on all ports.
--enable Enables the configuration. When enabled, any device changes on the port will not
generate an RSCN to any other end device.
mirrorport Configures a mirror port on the local port. The port mirroring feature reroutes data
frames between two devices to the mirror port. Port mirroring can aid in
troubleshooting common FC end-to-end communication problems. The command
prompts for confirmation that the specified port be enabled as a mirror port. Once
a port is configured as a mirror port, the port can only be used as part of a mirror
connection. Port Mirroring is not supported over FCIP links (VE tunnels).
The syntax for portCfg mirrorport is as follows:
portcfg mirrorport [slot/]port mode
Valid modes for mirrorport include the following:
--disable Disables the configuration. When disabled, a port cannot be a mirror port.
--enable Enables the configuration. When the mirror port feature is enabled to a port, a
mirror connection can use this port to mirror traffic.
EXAMPLES To enable a mirror port configuration:
switch:admin> portcfg mirrorport 2/4 --enable
Please confirm enable of Mirror Port (Y,y,N,n):[n] y
To configure a range of ports as RSCN-suppressed:
switch:admin> portcfg rscnsupr 2/4-7 --enable

FUNCTION Configure IP interfaces on the Brocade 7800 switch and FX8-24 blade
SYNOPSIS portcfg action [slot/] ge_port arguments
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the local IP interfaces and static routes on the Brocade 7800 switch and
on the Brocade FX8-24 blade. You must configure the local IP interfaces before you can create and
configure FCIP tunnels. You can also create a VLAN configuration at the IP interface on the Brocade
7800/FX8-24.
•portcfg ipif - Configure the local IP interfaces.
•portcfg iproute - Configure a static route on the IP interface.
•portcfg vlantag - Manage the IP interface VLAN configuration for FCIP.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
ge_port Specifies the number of the GbE port to be configured. The GbE ports are
numbered ge0 - ge9 on the Brocade FX8-24 blade and ge0 - ge5 on the Brocade
7800 switch. The two 10GbE ports on the Brocade FX8-24 blade are numbered
xge0 and xge1. Use the switchShow command for a list of valid ports.
ipif Defines the IP interface for both ports of a tunnel.
On the Brocade 7800 and FX8-24, up to eight IP interfaces per GbE port are
supported, but only 4 FCIP circuits can be configured on a single GbE port. Up to
10 IP interfaces and 10 FCIP circuits are supported on the 10GbE port. In Fabric
OS v7.0.0 and later, these circuits are not limited to a single 10GbE port. Rather,
they can be distributed across both 10GbE ports.
The IP network connection is configured by defining IP interfaces for origin and
destination virtual ports, and then defining one or more IP routes to connect them.
The syntax for portCfg ipif is as follows:
portcfg ipif [slot/]ge_port option args [optional_args]
Valid options and arguments for ipif include the following:
create src_ipaddr [netmask] mtu_size
Creates IP interfaces. Specify the following:
src_ipaddr Specifies source IP address in either IPv6 or IPv4 format:
src_IPv6_addr/prefix_len
Specifies the source IPv6 address of the virtual port if IPv6 is used. The
address must be an IPv6 global, unicast address, followed by a prefix. This is
used for IPv6 addresses instead of a netmask. The prefix_len operator is
required. Refer to the Fibre Channel over IP Administrator's Guide for more
information on IPv6 rules and restrictions.
src_IPv4_addr netmask
Specifies the source IPv4 address of the virtual port, if IPv4 is used. If an IPv4
address is used, the subnet mask must be specified as well (in a.b.c.d.
format.)
Fabric OS Command Reference 687
53-1003108-01
portCfg 2
mtu_size Specifies the maximum transmission unit size. The permitted range is 1260
Bytes to 1500 Bytes. This operand is required.
-x | --crossport Configures an interface for a failover crossport. A crossport is defined as the
nonlocal (secondary) XGE port to a VE_Port group that provides failover
capabilities for the tunnel configured on the local XGE port. For VE_Ports
12-21, xge1 is the local XGE port and xge0 is the crossport. For VE_Ports
22-31, xge0 is the local XGE port and xge1 is the crossport. This operand is
optional and supported only on the Brocade FX8-24 XGE ports.
delete ipaddr Deletes IP interfaces. Specify the IPv6 or IPv4 address of the virtual port.
iproute Defines static IP routes on a GbE port or on a 10GbE port. After defining the IP
interface on the remote switch, you can define destination routes for an interface.
A maximum of 32 user-configurable routes per GbE/10GbE port are supported.
You cannot use this command to configure routes for inband management; use
portCfg mgmtroute instead. In Fabric OS v7.0.0, you can use this command to
configure an iproute for a XGE port configured as a failover crossport. This feature
is supported only on the FX8-24.
The syntax for portcfg iproute is as follows:
portcfg iproute [slot/]ge_port option args [optional_args]
Valid options and arguments for iproute include the following:
create dest_ipaddr [netmask] [gateway_router] metric
Creates an IP route. Specify the following:
dest_ipaddr Specifies the destination IP address in either IPv6 or IPv4 format:
dest_IPv6_addr/prefix_len
Specifies the destination IPv6 address of the virtual port, if IPv6 is used. The
address must be an IPv6 global, unicast address, followed by a prefix. This is
used for IPv6 addresses instead of a netmask. The prefix_len operand is
required.
dest_IPv4_addr netmask
Specifies the destination IPv4 address of the virtual port, if IPv4 is used. If an
IPv4 address is used, the subnet mask must be specified as well. Use
a.b.c.d. format.
gateway_router Specifies the IP address of an IP router that can route packets to the
destination virtual port IP address. The gateway address must be on the
same IP subnet as one of the port IP addresses. This operand is optional with
IPv6 addresses. If not specified, the gateway_router learned from the
Neighbor Discovery protocol is used.
-x | --crossport Configures an IP route for a failover crossport. A crossport is defined as the
nonlocal (secondary) XGE port to a VE_Port group that provides failover
capabilities for the tunnel configured on the local XGE port. For VE_Ports
12-21, xge1 is the local XGE port and xge0 is the crossport. For VE_Ports
22-31, xge0 is the local XGE port and xge1 is the crossport. This operand is
optional and supported only on the Brocade FX8-24 XGE ports.

delete ipaddr Deletes IP routes for a specified IPv4 or IPv6 address. Valid ipaddr values include
the following:
ipaddr Specifies IP address in either IPv6 or IPv4 format:
IPv6_addr/prefix_len
Specifies the IPv6 address of the virtual port, if IPv6 is used. The address
must be an IPv6 global, unicast address, followed by a prefix. The prefix_len
operand is required.
dest_IPv4_addr netmask
Specifies the destination IPv4 address of the virtual port, if IPv4 is used. If an
IPv4 address is used, the subnet mask must be specified as well. Use
a.b.c.d. format.
vlantag Use this command to maintain the VLAN tag table associated with a particular
network interface. This table is mainly used during ingress processing to filter
VLAN tagged frames. You can configure multiple VLAN IDs per IP interface;
however, if you provide a destination address, there cannot be two entries to the
same destination, including 0.0.0.0. Egress frames already marked as VLAN
tagged (FCIP circuit-level tagging) take precedence over entries in this table.
This command supports add and delete options only. To modify a table entry, it
must first be deleted, then added with different configuration parameters. The
syntax for portcfg vlantag is as follows:
portcfg vlantag [slot/]ge_port mode arguments
Valid modes for vlantag include the following:
add ipif_addr vlan_id l2cos [dst_ipaddr][optional_args]
Adds an entry to the VLAN tag table.
delete ipif_addr vlan_id [dst_ipaddr]
Deletes an entry from the VLAN tag table. Valid arguments for add and delete
include the following:
ipif_addr Specifies the locally defined interface address in IPv6 or IPv4 format.
vlan_id Specifies the VLAN ID used for this tag. The range is 1 to 4094.
l2cos Specifies Layer 2 Class of Service/Priority, as defined in the IEEE 802.1p
specification. The range is 0 to 7. Valid only with the add option.
dst_ipaddr Specifies an optional destination IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). All packets
destined for this IP address are tagged accordingly. If a destination IP
address is not specified, all packets not already tagged will be tagged. The
default is 0.0.0.0.
optional_args Optional VLAN tagging parameters include the following:
-x | --crossport
>Applies the VLAN tag to a crossport interface. Specifying this parameter
allows the VE_Ports 12-21 to use the IP interface with this vlantag. This
operand is optional and valid only and supported only on the Brocade FX8-24
XGE ports.

FUNCTION Configure tunnels, circuits, and management interfaces on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24
SYNOPSIS portcfg action [slot/]ve_port options arguments
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure FCIP tunnels and FCIP circuits on the GbE/10GbE ports on the Brocade
7800 and FX8-24 platforms only and to configure the inband management on these platforms. The FCIP
tunnels on the local and remote GbE ports act as Virtual E_Ports (VE_Ports) connecting the local and
remote fabrics. The following operations can be performed with this command:
•portcfg fciptunnel - Create, modify, and delete Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) tunnels.
-Configure a tunnel with the FCIP FastWrite feature.
-Enable or disable Tape Pipelining.
-Configure the compression options.
-Configure an IPSec-enabled tunnel.
-Configure VLAN tagging on the default FCIP circuit.
-Configure Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) markings.
-Set the committed rate or minimum and maximum rates for the default circuit.
-Configure a tunnel for FICON emulation.
•portcfg fcipcircuit - Create, modify, and delete additional FCIP circuits.
-Set or modify the committed rate or minimum and maximum rates for the circuit.
-Configure or change VLAN tagging on the default circuit.
-Set or modify additional circuit parameters.
•portcfg mgmtif - Configure the inband management interfaces.
•portcfg mgmtroute - Configure the routes for the inband management interfaces.
•portcfg autoneg - Enable or disable autonegotiation settings for 1GbE ports.

portCfg 2
NOTES You can configure up to 20 FCIP tunnels on the Brocade FX8-24 and up to 8 tunnels on the Brocade
7800.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
ve_port Specifies the number of the VE_Port associated with the tunnel configured on one
of the GbE/10GbE ports to be configured. The VE_Ports are numbered 16-23 on
the Brocade 7800.
fciptunnel Creates, modifies, or deletes a Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) tunnel.
Note the following port mapping rules on the Brocade FX8-24: The Brocade
FX8-24 has two FCIP chips and each one controls specific GbE ports and VE
ports. The first FCIP chip controls VE_Ports 12-21, and the GbE ports ge0-ge9
and the local XGE port, xge1. The second FCIP chip controls VE_Ports 22-31 and
the local XGE port, xge0. Typically (that is in the case when you do not configure a
failover crossport) you use the IP addresses on ge0-ge9 and xge1 for any FCIP
circuits that use VE_Ports 12-21. And likewise, you use IP addresses on xge0 for
any FCIP circuits that use VE_Ports 22-31. When you configure a failover
crossport, the VE_Ports on one chip are allowed to use the IP addresses on the
non-local chip's XGE port (crossport).
The syntax for portcfg fciptunnel is as follows:
portcfg fciptunnel [slot/]ve_port options [tunnel_arguments] [circuit_arguments]
The following options are supported with fciptunnel:
create [tunnel_arguments][circuit_arguments]
Creates an FCIP tunnel and, optionally a single default circuit. If no circuit
arguments are specified, no FCIP circuit will be created. While it is possible to
create a tunnel without a default circuit, it is an unlikely scenario (for example, for
configuration staging purposes). In most cases, you will create a tunnel with at
least one configured FCIP circuit. In this case, you must specify a remote and
local IP address for the circuit as well as a committed rate (or alternately, a
minimum and maximum committed rate) to configure the default circuit. The
default circuit created with the tunnel is automatically assigned the circuit ID 0.
You can modify the default circuit with the fciptunnel modify command. To add
additional circuits to an existing tunnel, use the fcipcircuit create command.
modify [tunnel_arguments][circuit_arguments]
Modifies the properties of an existing FCIP tunnel. To modify a tunnel, you must
specify at least one of the tunnel or circuit parameters for the command to be
effective. Any circuit attribute you change with the fciptunnel modify command
affects only the FCIP circuit 0. All other circuits remain unchanged. To modify a
circuit other than circuit 0, you must use the fcipcircuit modify command.
In order to create a default circuit 0 with the tunnel, you must at least specify the
following circuit arguments with fciptunnel create:
remote_ip_address
Specifies the IP address for the remote end of the FCIP circuit.
local_ip_address Specifies the IP address for the local end of the FCIP circuit.
694 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
portCfg
2
The following two operands are exclusive; you can either specify a committed
rate or a minimum and maximum rate for circuit 0. You can modify these
parameters later with fciptunnel modify.
comm_rate Specifies the committed traffic rate on the FCIP tunnel in Kbps. The valid
range is 10,000 Kbps to 1,000,000 Kbps for 1G ports and 10,000 Kbps to
10,000,000 Kbps for 10G ports. There is no default. Both sides of the circuit
must have matching configurations.
-b | --min-comm-rate value, -B | --max-comm-rate value
Alternately you may set a minimum and a maximum for the committed rate to
configure the tunnel for Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL), which allows for a
more effective sharing of bandwidth between applications. The valid range is
10,000 Kbps to 1,000,000 Kbps for 1G ports and 10,000 Kbps to 10,000,000
Kbps for 10G ports. The maximum committed rate is the combined maximum
committed rate of all configured circuits and it can be no larger than five times
the minimum committed rate. Both sides of the circuit must have matching
configurations.
Beginning with Fabric OS v7.0, you can configure minimum and maximum
rates for each circuit of a tunnel using the XGE ports on the FX8-24 blade.
This provides a maximum guaranteed rate of 10Gbps combined for all
tunnels over a single 10GbE port and a maximum rate of 10Gbps for any
single circuit. This feature is backwards compatible with 1GbE ports on either
the Brocade 7800 Extension Switch or on the Brocade FX8-24 Extension
Blade. For connections between 10GbE ports, ARL is supported only if Fabric
OS v7.0 is running on both switches.
Optional tunnel_arguments for fciptunnel create and modify include the
following. Tunnel parameters are by default disabled. To change the default
(for example, enabling FastWrite) with fciptunnel create, specify the
parameter only. To modify any of these parameters with fciptunnel modify,
specify the parameter and one of the values in square brackets.
-f | --fastwrite [0 |1]
Disables (0) or enables (1) FCIP FastWrite on the specified FCIP tunnel.
-t | --tape-pipelining [0-2]
Configures Open Systems Tape Pipelining on the specified FCIP tunnel. By
default, OSTP is disabled (0).
When using this operand with fciptunnel create, specify one or more of the
following operands:
-t | --tape-pipelining
Enables write-read Tape Pipelining (FCIP FastWrite must also be enabled.)
-N | --no-read-pipelining
Disables tape read-pipelining. This operand is valid only with fciptunnel
create and -t must be specified enabling the feature. The combination of -t
and -N effectively enables tape write-pipelining.

--max-read-pipe value
Defines the maximum number of tape read channel commands (CCWs) that
can enter the read pipeline for a single device whether all the CCWs are
bundled in a single channel program or in multiple channel programs. The
setting has significance only for host (channel) initiated operations at this side
and will not affect tape write operations initiated by hosts (channels) attached
at the opposite side. Too small of a value will result in poor performance. The
value should be chosen based upon the typical tape channel program that
requires optimum performance. The default value is 32 (recommended
setting). The range is 1 to 100.
--max-write-pipe value
Defines the maximum number of tape write channel commands (CCWs) that
can enter the write pipeline for a single device whether all the CCWs are
bundled in a single channel program or in multiple channel programs. The
setting has significance only for host (channel) initiated operations at this side
and will not affect tape write operations initiated by hosts (channels) attached
at the opposite side. Too small of a value will result in poor performance. The
value should be chosen based upon the typical tape channel program that
requires optimum performance. The default value is 32 (recommended
setting). The range is 1 to 100.
--max-read-devs value
Defines the maximum number of concurrent emulated tape read operations.
As concurrency increases, the value of emulation decreases. Excessive
concurrency has the potential to oversubscribe packet data memory. The
setting has significance only for host (channel) initiated operations at this side
and will not affect tape read operations initiated by hosts (channels) attached
at the opposite side. The default value is 16. The range is 1 to 32.
--max-write-devs value
Defines the maximum number of concurrent emulated tape write operations.
As concurrency increases, the value of emulation decreases. Excessive
concurrency has the potential to oversubscribe packet data memory. The

--write-timer value
Defines a time limit for pipelined write chains. This value is specified in
milliseconds (ms). If a pipelined write chain takes longer than this value to
complete, the ending status for the next write chain will be withheld from the
channel. This limits processing to what the network and device can support.
Too small a value limits pipelining performance. Too large a value results in
too much data being accepted for one device on a path. The default value is
300 milliseconds (ms). The range is 100 to 1500.
--write-chain value
Defines the maximum amount of data that can be contained in a single CCW
chain. If this value is exceeded, emulation is suspended. The default value is
3.2 MB (3200000 bytes) The range is 1 MB to 5 MB.
--oxid-base value
Defines the base value of an entry pool of 256 OXIDs supplied to
emulation-generated exchanges. It should fall outside the range used by
FICON channels and devices to avoid conflicts. The default value is 0x8000
(recommended setting). The range is 0x0000 to 0xF000.
--ficon-debug value
Defines optional debug flags. The default value is 0xF7C80000. This
parameter is primarily for use by technical support personnel.
Optional FCIP circuit arguments for fciptunnel create and modify include the
following.
-a | --admin-status [0|1]
Enables (1) or disables (0) the circuit. Admin status is disabled by default.
Use -a --admin-status to enable the feature when you create a circuit. Use
-a |--admin-status 0|1 when you modify a circuit.
-C | --connection-type [0|1|2] | [default|listener|initiator]
Specifies whether the circuit is the listener or the initiator. Values are
0=Default, 1=Listener, and 2=Initiator. You can use either the numeric values
or their string equivalents. String values are not case sensitive. In default
mode, the initiator and listener are automatically chosen based on the lower
and higher-order IP address. This can cause a problem in Network Address
Translation (NAT) environments, if both sides of the circuit have lower-order
addresses. This option is a disruptive modify request that causes the tunnel
to bounce. The command prompts for confirmation with an appropriate
message.
-s | --sack 0|1 Disables (0) or enables (1) selective acknowledgement code (SACK) on the
FCIP circuit. SACK is enabled by default. Use -s | --sack to disable the
feature when you create a circuit. Use -s | --sack 0 | 1 to disable or enable
SACK when you modify a circuit.
-k | --keepalive-timeout timeout
Specifies the keep alive timeout in milliseconds. The valid range is 500 ms to
720000 ms. If the tunnel does not already have FICON Emulation enabled,
circuits created on the tunnel default to 10000 ms (10 seconds) for the FCIP
Trunking keep alive timeout. If FICON emulation is enabled on the FCIP
Tunnel when a circuit is created, the keep alive timeout defaults to 1000 ms
(1 seconds).

53-1003108-01
portCfg 2
-x | --metric metric
Specifies the metric for the configured circuit. The valid range is 0 to 1. The
default value is 0. A lower metric assigns a higher priority to the circuit. As
data is flowing through the FCIP tunnel, it automatically traverses the lowest
metric cost circuits. For example, if a tunnel has four circuits, three of which
are set to a metric of 0 and one is set to a metric of 1, all data will flow over
the metric 0 circuits. This parameter is meaningful only, if you configure more
than one circuit.
-g | --failover-group failover_group_ID
Specifies the failover group ID for the configured circuit. The valid range is 0
to 9, where 0 is the default failover group. The circuit failover groups must be
defined at both ends of the FCIP tunnel and each failover group should
include at least one metric 0 and one metric 1 circuit. If all metric 0 circuits in
the failover group go down, the transmission fails over to the metric 1 circuits
in the group. If all metric 0 circuits in a tunnel go down, by default the traffic
will run over the metric 1 circuits.
-m | --min-retrans-time time
Specifies the minimum time interval in milliseconds between retransmits. The
valid range is 20 ms to 5000 ms. The default value is 100 ms.
-r | --max-retransmits retransmissions
Specifies the maximum number of retransmissions. The valid range is 1 to
16. The default value is 8.
-v | --vlan-tagging vlan_id
Creates an FCIP tunnel with VLAN Tagging and Class of Service (CoS).
Specify a vlan_id in the range between 1 and 4094. If any other VLAN option
is specified, the VLAN ID must also be specified. Refer to the IEEE 802.1p
specification for more information.
You can configure VLAN tags when you create a circuit or after the fact by
modifying a circuit. Note that adding or modifying the VLAN configuration
after a circuit has been created is a disruptive operation.
You may also specify VLAN tagging per IP interface with the portCfg vlantag
command. The VLAN configuration at the IP interface level is for non-data
path traffic only. If the data path traffic is to be tagged, it must be done through
the VLAN tagging option with the fcipcircuit create or modify command.
Note that the circuit VLAN configuration takes priority over the IP interface
VLAN configuration.
The following operands are optional with VLAN tagging
--l2cos-f-class l2cos
Specifies the Layer 2 Class of Service (L2CoS) value for F-Class Traffic. This
priority setting controls connections between switches. The range is 0 to 7.
The default is 0.
--l2cos-high l2cos
Specifies the L2CoS value for High Priority Traffic. The range is 0 to 7. The
default is 0.
--l2cos-medium l2cos
Specifies the L2CoS value for Medium Priority Traffic. The range is 0 to 7.
The default is 0.
--l2cos-low l2cos
Specifies the L2CoS value for Low Priority Traffic. The range is 0 to7. The
default is 0.

The following two operands are mutually exclusive:
comm_rate Specifies the committed traffic rate on the FCIP tunnel in Kbps. The valid
range is 10,000 Kbps to 1,000,000 Kbps for 1G ports and 10,000 Kbps to
10,000,000 Kbps for 10G ports. There is no default. Both sides of the tunnel
must have matching configurations.
-b | --min-comm-rate value -B | --max-comm-rate value
Alternately you can set a minimum and a maximum for the committed rate to
configure the tunnel for Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL), which allows for a
more effective sharing of bandwidth between applications. The valid range is
10,000 Kbps to 10,000 Kbps for 1G ports and 1,000,000 Kbps to 10,000,000
Kbps for 10G ports. The maximum committed rate can be no larger than five

portCfgAlpa
Configures the AL_PA offset on a specified port or range of ports.
SYNOPSIS portcfgalpa [slot/]port, mode
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set the Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL_PA) offset on a port or a range of
ports to either 0x0 (default) or 0x13.
Changes made by this command are persistent across switch reboots and power cycles.
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.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
OPERANDS When invoked without operands, this command displays the usage. The following operands are
supported:
slot For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specify the number of the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed
systems. Use the switchShow command for a list of valid ports.
mode Specify a value of 1 to set the AL_PA to 0x13. A value of 0 sets the default AL_PA
to 0x0. This operand is required.
EXAMPLES To configure a port with AL_PA 0x0 (default):
switch:admin> portcfgalpa 1/3 0
To configure a port with AL_PA 0x13:
switch:admin> portcfgalpa 1/3 1

portcfgautodisable --addexcept option [slot/]port[-port]
portcfgautodisable --show [slot/]port[-port]
portcfgautodisable --suspend
portcfgautodisable --resume
portcfgautodisable --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable the autodisable feature for a specified port or a range of ports
and to manage the configuration. If the ports are already in the requested configuration, no action is
taken. If a range of ports is specified, some of which are already in the requested configuration, no action
is taken for those ports. All other ports in the specified range are updated. Execution of this command is
nondisruptive.
The autodisable feature is by default disabled for all ports.
Use the --suspend and --resume options respectively to temporarily suspend and resume the
configuration in the current logical switch. These states are persistent across reboots and HA failover.
The port autodisable feature minimizes traffic disruption introduced in some instances of automatic port
recovery. When the autodisable flag is set, you can specify the conditions that will prevent the port to
reinitialize. Such conditions include loss of sync, loss of signal, OLS, NOS, and LIP. Refer to the operand
section for an explanation of these conditions. Note that a link reset does not cause a port autodisable.
When a port is in FICON Management Server (FMS) mode, an autodisabled port remains persistently
disabled across High Availability (HA) failover. In all cases, you can bring the automatically disabled port
back into service using the portEnable command.
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.
This command is not supported on GbE ports, VE_Ports, logical interswitch links (LISLs), or FCoE ports.

SYNOPSIS portcfgcompress --enable [slot]/port
portcfgcompress --disable [slot]/port
portcfgcompress --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure a port for compression. This command enables or disables the
compression configuration on the specified port, and saves the configuration persistently.
Configuring a port for compression is disruptive. You must disable the port before you can enable
compression on the port. This command fails on an enabled port.
The number of configurable ports is limited per ASIC. A message will be displayed once the maximum
number is exceeded. Use the portEncCompShow for a listing of configurable ports per ASIC.
NOTES This command is supported only on E_Ports. An E_Port can be enabled for compression and for
encryption at the same time.
When you move a configured port to another logical switch, you are informed that the operation requires
the port configuration to be disabled. You are given the choice to cancel the move or to continue. If you
want to go ahead with the move and the port is configured for encryption or compression, you must
disable the configuration prior to moving the port. You must reconfigure the port on the target switch if
you want to use compression or encryption on that port.
This command is supported only on Condor 3-based platforms running Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later with the
exception of the Brocade 6505 switch and the Brocade FC8-32E and Brocade FC8-48E port blades.

Configures a port as a D_Port.
SYNOPSIS portcfgdport --enable [-dwdm] [slot/]port_list
portcfgdport --disable [-dwdm] [slot/]port_list
portcfgdport --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure a diagnostic port (D_Port). The D_Port is not part of the fabric. It does not
carry any interswitch traffic or data traffic. The D_Port is used solely for the purpose of running link-level
diagnostics between two switches, switch-HBA, AG-AG, or AG-HBA and to isolate link level fault on the
port, in the small form factor pluggable (SFP), or in the cable.
You must configure both ends of the link between a given pair of switches, and you must disable the port
before you can configure a D_Port. Re-enabling the D_Ports will automatically start the diagnostics when
the ports come online.
The D_Port test performs the following diagnostics:
•An electrical loopback test (supported only on 16G SFPs capable of electrical loopback)
•An optical loopback test (supported only on 16G SFPs capable of optical loopback)
•A link traffic test
•A link distance measurement
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.
This command is supported only on Fibre Channel ports. SFPs must be 10Gb, 16GB, or 8Gb LWL/ELWL
Brocade-branded SFPs and run Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later on 16Gb-capable platforms.
This command is not supported on the Brocade FC8-32E and Brocade FC8-48E port blades.
D_Port configuration is not supported on EX_Ports and ports configured in encryption mode or
compression mode.
Links with mismatched D_Port configuration will be segmented or disabled.
Forward Error Correction (FEC) is not supported on D_Ports configured with Dense Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (DWDM).
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port_list Specifies one or more ports, relative to the slot on bladed systems. Use
switchShow for a listing of valid ports. A port list should be enclosed in double
quotation marks and can consist of the following:
•A single port, for example, "8" or "5/8" on blades systems.
•A port range where beginning and end port are separated by a dash, for
example, "8-13" or "5/8-13" on blades systems. A port range cannot span
multiple slots.

Enables or disables E_Port capability on a port or locks down a port as an E_Port.
SYNOPSIS portcfgeport [slot/]port mode
portcfgeport -i [index1[-index2] [...] [-f] mode]
portcfgeport -slot [slot1[-slot2] [...]
portcfgeport -h
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable E_Port capability on a port or to lock down a port as an E_Port.
E_Port capability is enabled by default. When an interswitch link (ISL) is connected to a port and the
port's E_Port capability is disabled, the ISL is segmented, and all traffic between the switches stops.
Fabric management data, such as zoning information, can no longer be exchanged through this port.
You can identify a single port to be configured by its port number or by its port index number. Port ranges
are supported with index numbers or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of
valid ports, slots, and port index numbers. When used without operands, this command displays all
persistently disabled ports on the switch.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if portSwap is disabled.
They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index
argument to display the portSwap status or alternately use portSwapShow.
Changes made by this command are persistent across switch reboots or power cycles.
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.
Regardless of how many E_Ports are connected between two switches, the maximum routing paths are
limited to 16 E_Ports.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed
systems. Use switchShow to display a listing of valid ports.
-i index1[-index2]Specifies a range of ports identified by port index numbers. You may specify
multiple index ranges separated by a space, for example, -i 33-38 40-60.
-f Ignores nonexisting ports. This operand is valid only with the -i option.
-slot [slot1[-slot2]Specifies all ports on a slot or on a range of slots, for example, -s 3-5. You may
specify multiple slot ranges separated by a space, for example, -s 3-5 8-10.

Configures normal distance E_Port buffer allocation.
SYNOPSIS portcfgeportcredits --enable [slot/]port credits
portcfgeportcredits --disable [slot/]port
portcfgeportcredits --show [slot/]port
portcfgeportcredits --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to change the default credit allocation for a normal distance E_Port or EX_Port by
allocating the specified number of credits to the port. When port credit allocation is enabled, the number
of credits specified overrides the default E_Port credit allocation; that is, a new credit model is
constructed based on the user-configured credits value. When the configuration is disabled, the default
credit allocation (default credit model) is restored. Only a normal distance E_Port and EX_Port can utilize
the new credit model constructed by this command, and the allocated credits are reserved only for that
port.
The E_Port credit configuration is persistent across system reboots and High Availability (HA) failover.
Use the portcfgeportcredits --show command to display the configured credits.
Use the portBufferShow command to determine current port buffer allocations.
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.
The E_Port credits feature does not support ports configured as F_Ports, Mirror Ports, L_Ports, and
Trunk Areas. If E_Port credits are configured on ports, moving the ports from one logical switch to
another logical switch is not permitted.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
The E_Port credits are mutually exclusive with F_Port buffers, longdistance, and ISL R_RDY mode.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--enable Enables the E_Port credit configuration on a specified port. A port and credits
allocation must be specified with this option.
--disable Disables the E_Port credit configuration on a specified port.
--show Displays the credits configured on a specified port.
slot Specifies the slot number on bladed systems, followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the port number.

credits Specifies the number of credits to be allocated to the specified port. The specified
credit allocation takes effect when the E_Port comes online. This operand is
required with the --enable option. The minimum credit allocation is 5 and the
maximum is 40. The configured credits will be allocated for each of the medium
virtual channels (VCs) for the non-QoS ports. For QoS ports, after sharing, both
the medium and high VCs will have the configured credits allocated.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To allocate 10 credits to an E_Port:
switch:admin> portcfgeportcredits --enable 12/6 10
Success.
To display the configured credits for an E_Port:
switch:admin> portcfgeportcredits --show 12/6
E-Port Credit Configured : 10
Success.
To disable the credit configuration and return to the default credit allocation:
switch:admin> portcfgeportcredits --disable 12/6

portCfgEXPort 2
portCfgEXPort
Sets a port to be an EX_Port, and sets and displays EX_Port configuration parameters.
SYNOPSIS portcfgexport [slot/]port
portcfgexport [-a admin]
portcfgexport [-f fabricid]
portcfgexport [-r ratov]
portcfgexport [-e edtov]
portcfgexport [-d domainid]
portcfgexport [-p pidformat]
portcfgexport [-t fabric_parameter]
portcfgexport [-m port mode]
portcfgexport [-i mode]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to allow a port to be configured as an EX_Port, to display the port's EX_Port
configuration, or to change the configuration. If no optional parameter is specified, the command displays
the currently configured values; otherwise, it sets the specified attribute to its new value. The port must
be disabled prior to setting EX_Port attributes. The port must be enabled before the port can become
active following EX_Port parameter changes. Use portDisable and portEnable to disable or enable the
port.
IPFC over FCR allows the routing of IPFC traffic between different EX_Ports where EX_Ports are
connected to an edge fabric that has IPFC-capable devices. IPFC traffic is routed between EX and VEX
Ports. IPFC traffic can be related to the same edge fabric or to different edge fabrics.
When the port is not active, the preferred domain ID is configurable. The preferred domain ID is used by
the EX_Port's front phantom domain to request a domain ID from the principal switch. The domain ID
received becomes the subsequent preferred domain ID, which is persistent and is displayed.
FCR supports Network OS edge (NOS) fabric connectivity when the EX_Port is set to Brocade Network
OS fabric mode. No Integrated Routing License is required to support Network OS fabric connectivity,
and selective device sharing will be allowed even when a license is not present.
This command is also used to configure the Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) ports to be EX_Ports. The ICL
EX_Port is supported only on the VF-enabled Condor3 chassis. Setting ICL EX_Port configuration in a
non-VF switch or non-base switch will display an error.
All EX_Ports within a quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) must be present in the base switch and in
disabled state for configuring ICL EX_Ports. If an EX_Port within the same QSFP is moved from the base
switch to a logical switch, EX_Port configuration cannot be applied to any of the ports in the QSFP. When
specifying an ICL port, all four E_Ports of the QSFP will be configured with the same EX_Port
parameters.
Encryption and compression are not supported on an ICL EX_Ports. When this command is executed on
ICL EX_Port without optional parameters, encryption and compression states are not displayed.

NOTES The fabric ID must be the same for every router port connected to the same edge fabric, and different for
every edge fabric. If two ports are connected to the same fabric but have been assigned different fabric
IDs, one of them will be disabled due to a fabric ID oversubscription. If two fabrics have been assigned
the same fabric ID, one of them will be disabled due to a fabric ID conflict.
When a port is changed from FL_Port to EX_Port, the topology is implicitly changed to point-to-point.
The front domain WWN field displays the WWN of the front domain. If the port is enabled and the state is
"OK", the edge fabric principal switch domain ID and WWN also are displayed.
If the Fabric Parameter value is "Auto Negotiate", the port ID format, R_A_TOV, and E_D_TOV values
display the negotiated values indicated by "(N)" next to them. The negotiated values are what the edge
switch specifies in the ELP request. If the state is "Not OK", the R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV display "Not
Applicable". By default, all EX_Ports are auto-ELP enabled.
If the Fabric Parameter attribute value is "User configured", the port ID format R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV
values display the configured values.
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.
OPERANDS When invoked without operands, this command displays the usage. The following operands are
supported:
slot On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the port number. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports. When
executed with [slot/]port only, the command displays the current port
configuration.
-a admin Enables or disables the specified port as an EX_Port. Valid values are 1 (enable
as EX_Port), 2 (disable as EX_Port and enable as non-EX_Port). portCfgDefault
may also be used to disable EX_Ports.
-f fabricid Specifies the fabric ID. Valid values are 1 to 128.
-r ratov Specifies the R_A_TOV used for port negotiation. Valid values are 2000 to
120000. This operand is only applicable if the "Fabric Parameter" attribute value is
not "Auto Negotiate".
-e edtov Specifies the E_D_TOV used for port negotiation. Valid values are 1000 to 60000.
This operand is only applicable if the "Fabric Parameter" attribute value is not
"Auto Negotiate".
-d domainid Specifies the preferred domain ID. For Brocade native mode (-m 0), valid values
are 1 to 239.
-p pidformat Specifies the Port ID format. Valid values are 0-native, 1-core, 2-extended edge.
This operand is applicable only when port mode is set to 0 (native mode). If port
mode is not "Brocade Native", the Port ID format displays as "Not applicable".
-t fabric_parameter Enables or disables negotiation of the fabric parameters. Valid values are 1 for
enable and 2 for disable.

portCfgFaultDelay 2
portCfgFaultDelay
Configures the fault delay for a single FC port.
SYNOPSIS portcfgfaultdelay [slot/]port delay
portcfgfaultdelay --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the fault delay of an FC port.
In the event that the link is noisy after a host power cycle, the switch may go into a soft fault state, which
means a delay of R_A_TOV. Setting the mode value to 1 reduces the fault delay value to 1.2 seconds.
The configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is persistent across switch reboots and power
cycles.
Use the portCfgShow command to display the user-configured fault delay settings.
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.
This command is applicable only to Fibre Channel ports.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed
systems. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports.
delay Specifies the fault delay value for the port number. This operand is required. Valid
values are one of the following:
0Sets the fault delay to R_A_TOV (default).
1Sets the fault delay to 1.2 seconds.

portCfgFec
Enables or disables Forward Error Correction on 16 Gbps and 10 Gbps Fibre Channel links.
SYNOPSIS portcfgfec --enable [slot/]port [-port]
portcfgfec --disable [slot/]port [-port]
portcfgfec --show [slot/]port [-port]
portcfgfec --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable Forward Error Correction (FEC) on a specified port or on a range
of ports, or to display the configuration.
FEC provides a mechanism for reducing error rates during data transmissions over 16 Gbps Fibre
Channel links. When FEC is enabled on a port, the sender adds systematically generated
error-correcting code (ECC) to its data transmission. This mechanism allows the receiver to detect and
correct errors without needing to get additional information from the sender.
The Brocade implementation of FEC is supported on 16 Gbps platforms (Condor3) and enables the
switch to recover bit errors in 16 Gbps and 10 Gbps data streams. The FEC encoding can correct one
burst of up to 11 error bits in every 2,112-bit transmission. The error correction covers both frames and
primitives. There is no loss of bandwidth or added transmission data rate overhead to the 16 Gbps FC
link.
By default, FEC is enabled switch-wide on all Condor3-based platforms. If FEC is already enabled on the
ports, enabling FEC has no effect. If a range of ports is specified, some of which are already in the
requested configuration, a notification is generated, and no action is taken for those ports only. All other
ports in the specified range are updated. Enabling or disabling FEC is disruptive to traffic.
When used with the --show option, the command displays the following information for the specified
ports:
Port The port index number
FEC Capable Displays YES if the port supports FEC. Displays NO if the port does not support
FEC.
FEC Configured Displays ON if FEC is enabled on the port (default). Displays OFF if the feature is
disabled.
FEC State The FEC state can be active or inactive. An active FEC state indicates that FEC is
enabled and actually running. An inactive state can indicate two conditions: FEC
is enabled, but not running due to some error condition (for example, FEC may
not be enabled on both links). Or FEC is disabled and therefore inactive.
Use the portCfgShow command to display the FEC configuration along with other port parameters. Use
the islShow command to view interswitch link-level FEC configurations. Use the portErrshow and
portStatShowhow commands to monitor data transmission errors. You should see a significant
reduction in CRC errors on FEC-enabled links.
Fabric OS Command Reference 733
53-1003108-01
portCfgFec 2
NOTES FEC is supported the following links:
•Between E_Ports on all Condor3-based platforms running Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later. Both sides of
the link must be configured with port speeds of 10 Gbps and 16 Gbps.
•Between F_Ports and N_Ports in Access Gateway mode (requires Fabric OS v7.1.0 and later on the
AG and the switch.
•Between Brocade 16G capable HBAs (Catapult2) Host Bus Adapters and an F_Port. The HBA must
be running v3.2 or later and the switch must be running Fabric OS v7.1.0.
FEC is compatible with QoS, Credit Recovery, and Fabric-Assigned Port WWM (FA-PWWN).
FEC is not supported on D_Ports configured with Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM).
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port[-port]Specifies a port or a port range, relative to the slot number on bladed systems, for
example, 5/17-29. Multiple port ranges are not supported with this command.
--enable Enables FEC on the specified ports.
--disable Disables FEC on the specified ports.
--show Displays the FEC configuration on the specified ports.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To enable FEC on a single port and to display the configuration:
switch:admin> portcfgfec --enable 5/28

portCfgFillword 2
portCfgFillword
Configures the fill word for a single 8G FC port.
SYNOPSIS portcfgfillword [slot/]port, mode [passive]
portcfgfillword --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the fill word of an 8G FC port. By default, this command disables and
re-enables the port and the port comes online with the new fill word setting. When passive option 1 is
used after the mode, the new settings are not applied until the next time the port goes offline and comes
back online. When passive option 0 is used after the mode, the new settings are applied immediately.
The configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is persistent across switch reboots or power
cycles.
NOTES This command applicable only to 8G FC ports; it is not supported on Condor 3-based platforms.
This configuration cannot be set on VE_Ports or VEX_Ports.
Use the portCfgShow command to display user-configured fill word settings.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed
systems. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports.
mode Specifies the fill word for the port number. This operand is required. Valid values
are one of the following:
0 | -idle-idle Sets IDLE mode in the Link Init and IDLE as the fill word (default).
1 | -arbff-arbff Sets ARB(ff) in the Link Init and ARB(ff) as the fill word.
2 | -idlef-arbff Sets IDLE mode in the Link Init and ARB(ff) as the fill word.
3 | -aa-then-ia Attempts hardware arbff-arbff (mode 1) first. If the attempt fails to go into
active state, this command executes software idle-arb (mode 2). Mode 3 is
the preferable to modes 1 and 2 as it captures more cases.
passive Specifies the fill word configuration changes to take effect immediately or next port
toggle. This operand is optional. Valid values are one of the following:
0Specify 0 for the new settings to take effect immediately.

portCfgFportBuffers 2
portCfgFportBuffers
Configures F_Port buffer allocation.
SYNOPSIS portcfgfportbuffers --enable [slot/]port buffers
portcfgfportbuffers --disable [slot/]port
DESCRIPTION Use this command to change the default buffer allocation for an F_Port and to allocate a specified
number of buffers to the port. When port buffer allocation is enabled, the number of buffers specified
override the default F_Port buffer allocation. When the configuration is disabled, the default buffer
allocation is restored. Only an F_Port can utilize the buffers allocated by this command, and the allocated
buffers are reserved only for this port.
The F_Port buffer configuration is persistent across system reboots.
Use the portBufferShow command to determine current port buffer allocations.
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.
The F_Port buffer feature does not support ports configured as EX_Ports, Mirror Ports, Long Distance
Ports, L_Ports, QoS Ports, Fast Write, and Trunk Areas.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--enable Enables the F_Port buffer configuration on a specified port. A port and buffer
allocation must be specified with this option.
--disable Disables the F_Port buffer configuration on a specified port.
slot Specifies the slot number on bladed systems, followed by a slash (/).
buffers Specifies the number of buffers to be allocated to the specified port. The specified
buffer allocation takes effect when the F_Port comes online. This operand is
required with the --enable option. The minimum buffer allocation is the default
number of buffers plus 1. The maximum is determined by the remaining buffer
allocations in the port's port group. Use portBufferShow to determine the number
of remaining free buffers.
EXAMPLES To allocate 12 buffers to an F_Port:
switch:admin> portcfgfportbuffers --enable 2/44 12
To disable the port buffer configuration and return to the default buffer allocation:
switch:admin> portcfgfportbuffers --disable 2/44 12

portCfgGeMediaType
Sets the selected mode for the ge0 and ge1 ports on the Brocade 7800.
SYNOPSIS portcfggemediatype ge_port [optical | copper]
portcfggemediatype --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set the mode for ge0 and ge1 ports on the Brocade 7800.
Each of the ge0 and ge1 ports on the Brocade 7800 can be configured as a copper port (RJ45) or an
optical port (SFP). The copper ports (RJ45) can only accept copper connections. The optical ports can
accept any Brocade-branded SFP, optical or copper. Each of the ge0 and ge1 ports can be configured
either as a copper port or an optical port, but not both.
The following configurations are possible:
Default
•ge0 (RJ45) - active and ge0 (SFP) - inactive
•ge1 (RJ45) - active and ge1 (SFP) - inactive
One copper and one optical port active
•ge0 (RJ45) - active and ge0 (SFP) - inactive
•ge1 (RJ45) - inactive and ge1 (SFP) - inactive
Or:
•ge1 (RJ45) - inactive and ge1 (SFP) - active
•ge0 (RJ45) - active and ge0 (SFP) - active
Both copper ports inactive. Both optical SPP ports active
•Ge0 (RJ45) - inactive and Ge0 (SFP) - active
•Ge1 (RJ45) - inactive and Ge1 (SFP) - active
The copper-only GbE ports are selected by default. To select ge0 or ge1 as optical mode specify the
operand as optical. Specify copper to re-select the default copper port.
When used with the ge_port operand only, this command displays the currently selected GbE port and
media type.

portCfgGport
Designates a port as a G_Port; removes G_Port designation.
SYNOPSIS portcfggport [slot/]port,mode
DESCRIPTION Use this command to designate a port as a G_Port. After successful execution of this command, the
switch attempts to initialize the specified port as an F_Port only, and does not attempt loop initialization
(FL_Port) on the port. A port designated as a G_Port can become an E_Port. This configuration can be
cleared but not set on VE/VEX_Ports. Changes made by this command are persistent across switch
reboots or power cycles.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specify the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use
switchShow to display a list of valid ports.
mode Specify a value of 1 to designate the port as a G_Port or specify a value of 0 to
remove the G_Port designation from the port. A value of 0 is the default port state.
Mode must be preceded by a comma. This operand is required.

portCfgISLMode 2
portCfgISLMode
Enables or disables ISL R_RDY mode on a port.
SYNOPSIS portcfgislmode [slot/]port,mode
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable interswitch link read-ready (ISL R_RDY) mode on a port. Use the
portCfgShow command to determine whether ISL R_RDY mode is enabled on a port.
In ISL R_RDY mode, the port sends a primitive signal that the port is ready to receive frames. The port
sends an exchange link parameter (ELP) with flow control mode 02. If a port is ISL R_RDY enabled, it
can only receive an ELP with flow control mode 02. A received ELP with flow control mode 01 will
segment the fabric.
This mode cannot detect any inconsistencies in fabric operating mode parameters, such as the PID
format of connected ports. Before enabling ISL R_RDY mode, ensure that all fabric-wide parameters are
consistent for every switch in the fabric.
Use configShow fabric.ops to view a complete listing of fabric operating mode parameters on the
switch.
The following E_Port configurations are not applicable to a port configured for ISL R_RDY mode. If
configured, these port configuration parameters are ignored during E_Port initialization:
•Trunk port
•VC link init
The portCfgISLMode and portCfgLongDistance levels LE, LD, or LS only can be enabled at the same
time. Such an ISL uses R_RDY mode of flow control over the long distance link. This feature is not
backward compatible with firmware versions that do not support it.
NOTES Changes made by portCfgISLMode are persistent across switch reboots and power cycles.
This configuration can be cleared but not set on VE/VEX_Ports.
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.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to display, followed by
a slash (/).
port Specify the port to display, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow
to list valid ports.
mode Specify 1 to enable ISL R_RDY mode. Specify 0 to disable ISL R_RDY mode.
EXAMPLES To enable ISL R_RDY mode on a port:
switch:admin> portcfgislmode 1/3, 1
ISL R_RDY Mode is enabled for port 3. Please make sure
the PID formats are consistent across the entire fabric.

Configures a port to support long distance links.
SYNOPSIS portcfglongdistance [slot/]port
[distance_level]
[vc_translation_link_init]
[-distance distance] | [-buffer buffers]
[-framesize frame_size]
[-fecenable | -fecdisable]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to allocate frame buffer credits to a port or to configure a specified long distance link.
The port can only be used as an E_Port. Changes made by this command are persistent across switch
reboots and power cycles. This configuration can be cleared but not set on VE/VEX_Ports.
Long distance configuration allows native FC ports to run WAN/LAN connections. It ensures that the full
bandwidth of a link or trunk can be utilized for a particular long distance configuration. The receiving port
must have sufficient buffers available, so that the transmitting port can stuff the link with enough frames
to fill the entire length of the link. As the distance between switches and the link speed increases,
additional buffer-to-buffer credits are required to maintain maximum performance. If a port is configured
as a long distance port, the remaining ports of that port group could be disabled, fail to initialize, or move
to "buffer limited" mode due to a lack of frame buffer credits.
The number of credits reserved for a port depends on the switch model and on the extended fabric mode
for which it is configured. Not all distance modes are supported by all platforms. For example, the FC10-6
only supports LO and LS up to 120 km at 10 Gbps, and the maximum supported distance can vary
greatly depending on switch platform and available buffers. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide
for details on platform-specific buffer credit models, long distance mode support, and maximum distance
supported for specific hardware configurations.
NOTES This command requires an Extended Fabrics license.
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.
A long-distance link can also be configured to be part of a trunk group. Refer to portCfgTrunkPort help
for details.
When a port is configured as a long-distance port, the output of portShow and switchShow displays the
long-distance level. Refer to portShow help and switchShow help for details.
The portCfgISLMode and portCfgLongDistance LE, LD, or LS levels can be enabled at the same time.
Such an ISL uses the R_RDY mode of flow control over the long distance link. While using R_RDY mode
flow control, an E_Port cannot form trunk groups of long-distance links even if the trunking is enabled.
This feature is not backward compatible with firmware versions that do not support it.
Ctrl-D cancels the configuration update.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot Specifies the slot number (for bladed systems only), followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port to be configured relative to its slot for bladed
systems. Use switchShow to display a list of valid ports. This operand is
required.

distance_level Specifies the long distance level as one of the following (the numerical value
representing each distance_level is shown in parentheses):
L0 (0) Specifies L0 to configure the port as a regular port. A total of 20 full-size frame
buffers are reserved for data traffic, regardless of the port's operating speed;
therefore, the maximum supported link distance is up to 5 km at 2 Gbps, up to 2
km at 4 Gbps and up to 1 km at 8, 10, and 16 Gbps.
LE (3) Specifies LE mode to configure an E_Ports distance greater than 5 km and up to
10 km. A total of 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, and 80 full-size frame buffers are reserved for
data traffic at port speeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, 8, 10, and 16 Gbps. LE
does not require an Extended Fabrics license. If a port in LE mode is set to
autonegotiation, it will reserve the buffers for the highest support speed on that
port. If this is not the desired buffer allocation, you should set the port to a fixed
speed.
LD (5) Specifies LD for automatic long-distance configuration. The buffer credits for the
given E_Port are automatically configured based on the actual link distance. Up to
a total of 1452 full-size frame buffers are reserved depending on the distance
measured during E_Port initialization. The desired_distance is used as the upper
limit to the measured distance. If a port in LD mode is set to autonegotiation, it will
reserve the buffers for the highest support speed on that port. If this is not the
desired buffer allocation, you should set the port to a fixed speed.
LS (6) Specifies LS mode to configure a static long distance link with a fixed buffer
allocation greater than 10 km. Up to a total of 1452 full-size frame buffers are
reserved for data traffic, depending on the specified desired_distance value. If a
port in LS mode is set to autonegotiation, it will reserve the buffers for the highest
support speed on that port. If this is not the desired buffer allocation, you should
set the port to a fixed speed.
vc_translation_link_initSpecifies the fill words used on long distance links. When set to 1, the link uses
ARB fill words (default). When set to 0, the link uses IDLE fill words. The IDLE fill
word option is not compatible with QoS configured links and Credit Recovery
enabled links. You must disable these features before configuring long distance
IDLE fill words.
-distance distance This parameter is required when a port is configured as an LD or an LS mode link.
In LD mode, the value of desired_distance is the upper limit of the link distance
and is used to calculate buffer availability for other ports in the same port group.
When the measured distance exceeds the value of distance, this value is used to
allocate the buffers. In this case, the port operates in degraded mode instead of
being disabled due to insufficient buffers. In LS mode, the actual link distance is
not measured, instead the distance is used to allocate the buffers required for the
port.
-framesize frame_size
Specifies the average frame size for LD and LS Mode.
-buffer buffers Specifies the desired buffer for LD and LS mode.

portCfgLport
Configures a port as an L_Port.
SYNOPSIS portcfglport
[[slot/]port] locked_mode
[private_mode] [duplex_mode]]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to designate a port as an L_Port, and to configure its behavior. When a port is
designated as an L_Port, the switch attempts to initialize that port as a fabric L_Port (FL_Port). The
switch will never attempt a point-to-point (F_Port) initialization on the port. By default the L_Port will be a
public L_Port. It can be configured as a private L_Port, in which case it will reject fabric login (FLOGI).
NOTES This configuration can be cleared but not set on VE/VEX_Ports.
VE_Ports on the Brocade 7800 and FX8-24 platforms do not support Arbitrated Loops. If one of the
virtual FC ports (16-31) is preconfigured as an L_Port, and a Brocade FX8-24 Extension blade is inserted
into the slot, the configuration is not honored. The system logs a RASLOG error and the port defaults
back to a G_Port. Attempts to configure a VE_Port as an L_Port are rejected with a corresponding
system message.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
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.
OPERANDS When invoked without operands, this command reports the L_Port conditions for all ports present. The
following operands are supported:
slot For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specify a port number to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use
switchShow to display a list of valid ports. This operand is optional; if omitted,
this command displays the L_Port conditions for all ports.
locked_mode Specify 1 to configure the specified port as a locked L_Port. Specify 0 to remove
the locked L_Port configuration from the port (default). This operand is required, if
a port is specified.
private_mode Specify 1 to configure the L_Port as a private L_Port. Specify 0 to configure the
L_Port as a public L_Port. This operand is optional; if omitted; the default value of
0 is used. On unsupported platforms, this command is blocked and returns an
appropriate message.
duplex_mode Specify 2 to configure the specified port as a full-duplex L_Port with fairness.
Specify 0 to configure the L_Port as a full-duplex L_Port. This operand is optional;
if omitted, the default value of 0 is used.

portCfgNPIVPort
Enables or disables N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) functionality on a port and sets the per-port login limit.
SYNOPSIS portcfgnpivport --enable [slot/]port
portcfgnpivport --disable [slot/]port
portcfgnpivport --setloginlimit [slot/]port login_limit
portcfgnpivport --help
portcfgnpivport [slot/]port mode
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable NPIV functionality on a port and to configure the maximum
number of logins for this port. Changes made by this command are persistent across switch reboots and
power cycles.
N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) enables a single Fibre Channel protocol port to appear as multiple,
distinct ports, providing separate port identification within the fabric for each operating system image
behind the port as if each operating system image had its own unique physical port. NPIV assigns a
different virtual port ID to each Fibre Channel protocol device without impacting your existing hardware
implementation. The virtual port has the same properties as an N_Port and is therefore capable of
registering with all fabric services.
The following conditions must be met for a switch port to respond to NPIV requests from an NPIV device:
NPIV capable NPIV capability is a switch blade or port attribute that is required for NPIV
functionality. Some blades within a switch, or some ports within a switch or blade,
may not have NPIV capability. NPIV functionality cannot be enabled on such ports
and they do not respond to NPIV requests.
NPIV enabled NPIV functionality must be enabled on a port for it to respond to NPIV requests.
NPIV is enabled by default. It can be selectively disabled or re-enabled on
specified switch ports using this command.
NPIV HA To enable NPIV functionality on dual-CP systems, NPIV-enabled firmware must
be running on both the active and the standby CPs. This requirement does not
apply to single-CP systems.
Use the --setloginlimit option to configure the number of permitted logins per NPIV port. Up to 255
virtual port IDs are allocated per NPIV port, which means each NPIV port can support up to 255 logins.
The number of logins you can configure per port is between 0 to 255. The default is 126 per port. The
sum of all configured per-port login maximum values cannot exceed the total number of logins set for the
switch with the configure command.
As of Fabric OS v.6.4.0 you can no longer use the configure command to set the NPIV port login limit on
a per-switch basis. However, the maximum number of logins per switch is still set and enforced by the
configure command. Use configure to display the current setting.

followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed
systems. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports.
--enable Enables NPIV on the specified port. This command can be executed only in
switch mode.
--disable Disables NPIV on the specified port. This command can be executed only in
switch mode.
--setloginlimit login_limit
Sets the maximum number of allowed logins for the specified port. This command
can be executed both in switch mode and Access Gateway mode. Valid values for
login_limit are 0 to 255. The default value is 126.
--help Displays the command usage.
mode Enables or disables NPIV on the specified port. Specify 1 to enable or 0 to disable
the feature. The mode operand is a legacy command; it will be deprecated in a

Enables or disables N_Port functionality for an Access Gateway port.
SYNOPSIS portcfgnport [slot/]port1[-port2] [mode]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable N_Port functionality for an Access Gateway port or for a range of
ports. The enabled N_Ports automatically come online if they are connected to an enterprise fabric
switch that supports NPIV. When used without operands, this command displays the port configuration.
NOTES NPIV capability must be enabled on the ports connected to the Access Gateway. By default, NPIV is
enabled. Use portcfgnpivport --enable to enable NPIV capability on a port, if it was previously disabled.
Note that enabling or disabling NPIV capability is no supported in Access Gateway mode.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following optional operands:
slot Specifies the slot number, followed by a slash (/) on bladed systems.
port1[-port2]Specifies a single port or a range of ports to be configured as N_Ports, for
example, 3-9, or 2/10-15.
mode Enables (1) or disables (0) N_Port functionality on the specified ports. The default
mode is 0 (disabled).

portCfgOctetSpeedCombo 2
portCfgOctetSpeedCombo
Sets port speed combination for a port octet.
SYNOPSIS portcfgoctetspeedcombo [slot]port combo
portcfgoctetspeedcombo [slot]port -default
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the speed for a port octet. A Condor 3 ASIC has six octets, each of which
contains eight ports. You can configure up to three different speed combinations. When you configure a
given port, the combination applies to all ports in the octet. You can specify the octet by any port within
the octet. To change the first octet, for example, you can specify any port from 0 through 7 as a port
argument value. The following speed combinations are supported:
•Autonegotiated or fixed port speeds of 16 Gbps,8 Gbps,4 Gbps, and 2 Gbps (1)
•Autonegotiated or fixed port speeds of 10 Gbps,8 Gbps,4 Gbps, and 2 Gbps (2)
•Autonegotiated or fixed port speeds of 16 Gbps and 10 Gbps (3)
A port octet can be set to any of the three octet combinations, and the ports in the octet can run on any
speed supported by its octet combination. This applies to both autonegotiated and fixed speeds.
Before you change the octet speed combination, make sure that the following conditions are met:
•All fixed speed ports are configured at a speed supported by the new combination.
•All online ports in autonegotiation mode have a negotiated speed supported by the new
combination.
•If a port is running at a speed not supported in the new combo, you must disable the port or change
the speed to a supported fixed speed before you can set the combo.
If any of the ports does not meet the conditions, the operation fails with an appropriate error message.
You can change the port speed or disable the ports and retry the command.
The octet combination default is 1. Use the portCfgOctetSpeedCombo port -default command to reset
the octet combination to its default value.
NOTES This command is supported only on Condor 3-based platforms. On the Brocade FC8-32E and Brocade
FC8-48E port blades, only the default octet combination is supported. On the Brocade 6505, the
command is not supported.
The operation of the portCfgOctetSpeedCombo can be disruptive.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Sets the speed combination for the specified port and all other ports in the octet
port group.

combo Specifies the speed combination for the ports in the octet. The following speed
combinations are supported:
1Supports autonegotiated or fixed port speeds of 16 Gbps,8 Gbps,4 Gbps, and 2
Gbps.
2Supports autonegotiated or fixed port speeds of 10 Gbps,8 Gbps,4 Gbps, and 2
Gbps.
3Supports autonegotiated or fixed port speeds of 16 Gbps and 10 Gbps.
-default Sets all octet combination values back to the default value of 1.
EXAMPLES To configure the ports in first octet for combination 3 on a Brocade 6510:
switch:admin> portcfgoctetspeedcombo 3 3
To reset the combination to default:
switch:admin> portcfgoctetspeedcombo 3 -default
To switch from combo 3 to combo 2 and there are online ports running at 16G speed.:
switch:admin> portcfgoctetspeedcombo 2 2
The following ports must be disabled or \
speed configuration needs to be change.
Please retry the operation after taking appropriate action.

portCfgPersistentDisable 2
portCfgPersistentDisable
Persistently disables a port or a range of ports.
SYNOPSIS portcfgpersistentdisable
portcfgpersistentdisable [slot/]port1[-port2] [...]
portcfgpersistentdisable -i [index1[-index2] [...] [-f]]
portcfgpersistentdisable -slot [slot1[-slot2] [...]
portcfgpersistentdisable [slot/]port -r disable_reason_string
portcfgpersistentdisable -h
DESCRIPTION Use this command to persistently disable a port or a range of ports. Persistently disabled ports remain
disabled across power cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By default, a port is enabled
persistently, unless the port is capable of routing. The change in configuration is effective immediately.
You can identify a single port to be configured by its port number or by its port index number. Port ranges
are supported with index numbers or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of
valid ports, slots, and port index numbers. When used without operands, this command displays all
persistently disabled ports on the switch.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled.
They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index
argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow.
The persistent disable configuration overrides existing port configurations, but it does not change these
configurations. Use the portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable a port persistently and to restore
all previously set port configurations for that port. The switch still runs power-on diagnostics and
initializes a persistently disabled port. The portEnable, switchEnable, and bladeEnable commands do
not enable a specific port or ports alone, but these commands succeed on a switch with one or more
persistently disabled ports. The portEnable command fails when issued on persistently disabled ports.
The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable
configurations of the ports within the switch.
Because ports are by default persistently enabled, the persistently disabled state of a port is cleared by
the portCfgDefault command.
NOTES This command is blocked if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode (fmsmode);
instead, use portDisable with Active=Saved mode enabled.
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.
This command is not supported on FCoE ports. To disable an FCoE port, use fcoe --disable.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be disabled
persistently, followed by a slash (/).

portCfgPersistentEnable
Persistently enables a port or a range of ports.
SYNOPSIS portcfgpersistentenable
portcfgpersistentenable [slot/]port1[-port2] [...]
portcfgpersistentenable -i [index1[-index2] [...] [-f]]
portcfgpersistentenable -s[lot] [slot1[-slot2]
portcfgpersistentenable -h
DESCRIPTION Use this command to persistently enable a port or a range of ports. If the port is connected to another
switch when this command is issued, the fabric may reconfigure. After the port is persistently enabled,
devices connected to the port can again communicate with the fabric.
You can identify a single port to be configured by its port number or by its port index number. Port ranges
are supported with index numbers or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of
valid ports, slots, and port index numbers. When used without operands, this command displays all
persistently enabled ports on the switch.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled.
They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index
argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow.
For ports that come online after being persistently enabled, the following indications may be sent to
indicate a state transition: RSCN, SNMP trap, Web pop-up window.
Persistently enabled ports remain enabled across power cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By
default, a port is enabled persistently, unless the port is capable of routing. The change in configuration is
effective immediately.
This command re-enables all previously set port configurations of a specified port. You can temporarily
disable a persistently enabled port with the portDisable or switchDisable commands. The persistent
switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable configurations of the
ports within the switch. The configuration commands configDefault and portCfgDefault do not modify
the persistent enable attribute of a port.
NOTES This command is blocked if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode (fmsmode).
Instead use portEnable with Active=Saved Mode enabled.
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.
This command is not supported on FCoE ports. To enable an FCoE port, use fcoe --enable.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:

portCfgQoS
2
portCfgQoS
Enables or disables QoS, sets the default configuration, and sets and resets the ingress rate limit.
SYNOPSIS portcfgqos --disable | --enable [slot/]port
portcfgqos --setratelimit [slot/]port ratelimit
portcfgqos --resetratelimit [slot/]port
portcfgqos --enable | --disable [slot/]port[-port] csctl_mode
portcfgqos --default [slot/]port
portcfgqos --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure traffic prioritization on a port. Two alternate modes of traffic prioritization
are supported by this command: Adaptive Networking/Quality of Service (AN/QoS) or Class-Specific
Control (CS_CTL):
•The Adaptive Networking with QoS feature allows latency-sensitive applications to share storage
resources alongside throughput-intensive applications. You can enable or disable Adaptive
Networking/Quality of Service (AN/QoS) on a port, set or reset the ingress rate limit for the specified
port, and set the default behavior. Ingress Rate Limiting delays the return of BB credits to the
external device. By limiting the throughput on the ingress side of a port, existing congestion can be
removed or avoided.
•In Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later, an alternate method of traffic flow prioritization based on the CS_CTL
bits of a Fibre Channel frame is provided through this command. This feature uses the value of the
CS_CTL bit of the frame to determine the virtual channel (VC), so each frame can be prioritized
based on the value of the CS_CTL bit.
CS_CTL flow prioritization is independent of traffic prioritization based on QoS zones; and both methods
are mutually exclusive. If CS_CTL VC mode is enabled on an F/FL_Port, QoS-based traffic flow
prioritization cannot be used between any two devices connected to these F/FL_Ports in that fabric and
vice versa.
If both QoS-based and CS_CTL-based traffic prioritization are enabled on the same F/FL_Port, the
CS_CTL-based method takes priority over the QoS zones. When QoS is enabled on an F/FL_Port and
you enable CS_CTL VC mode on the same port, the command displays a message stating that QoS
zones will lose priority to CS_CTL-based traffic prioritization. When you disable CS_CTL mode on a
given F/FL port, the QoS zones, if already enabled, become the effective frame classification method for
all devices connected to that F/FL_Port.
On Condor3 Inter Chassis Link (ICL) ports, QoS is not configurable and it is always enabled internally.
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.
Enabling and disabling QOS is potentially disruptive to the I/O on the affected port.
This command is not supported on all platforms. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for more
information.
The configuration changes effected by this command are persistent across system reboots.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
Fabric OS Command Reference 763
53-1003108-01
portCfgQoS 2
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to configure,
followed by a slash (/).
port[-port]Specifies the port or port range to be configured, relative to the slot for bladed
systems. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports. You can specify a port range
only when you configure CS_CTL-based traffic prioritization.
--disable Disables the current configuration on the specified ports. When issued for a single
port, this command disables QoS, which is enabled by default. When issued with
the csctl_mode operand, this command accepts a port range and disables traffic
prioritization based on CS_CTL. If QoS was enabled before you enabled
csctl_mode, this command restores QoS-based traffic prioritization.
--enable Enables QoS or CS_CTL mode. When issued for a single port, this command
enables QoS. When issued with the csctl_mode operand, this command accepts
a port range and enables traffic prioritization based on CS_CTL. When you enable
csctl_mode, the command displays a message stating that QoS zones will lose
priority to CS_CTL-based traffic prioritization.
--resetratelimit Turns off the ingress rate limiting feature on the specified port.
--setratelimit ratelimit Sets an ingress rate limit to reduce traffic from the specified port. This
configuration is applicable only to F/FL_Ports. For E/EX_Ports, this configuration
would not be effective. The ingress rate limit is enforced only when a given port
can run at a speed higher than the speed specified in the configuration. For
example if the rate limit is set at 4 Gbps and the port comes online only at 2 Gbps,
no enforcement is needed. Specify an ingress rate in Mbps. Supported values for
ratelimit are: 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000,
5000, 6000, 7000, and 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000, 13000, 14000, 15000,
16000.
--default Applies the default configuration to the specified port. This command attempts to
re-enable QoS; success depends on availability of buffers. If CS_CTL was
enabled on the port, this command disables the configuration.
--help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To enable QoS on a port.
switch:admin> portcfgqos --enable 1/15
To disable QoS on a port.
switch:admin> portcfgqos --disable 1/15
To set the default QoS configuration on a port:
switch:admin> portcfgqos --default 12/41

portCfgShow 2
When portCfgShow is issued for a single FCoE port, only the following fields are displayed: Area
Number, Speed Level, AL_PA Offset, RSCN Suppressed, and NPIV PP Limit. If the command is
issued without operands on a DCX with one or more FCOE10-24 blades, the port parameters that are
not valid on the FCoE ports are marked with a dash (-). Refer to the example section for an illustration.
You can identify a single port to be displayed by its port number or by its port index number. Port ranges
are supported with index numbers or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of
valid ports, slots, and port index numbers. When used without operands, this command displays all
persistently disabled ports on the switch.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled.
They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index
argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow.
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

portCfgSpeed 2
portCfgSpeed
Configures the speed for a port or a range of ports.
SYNOPSIS portcfgspeed [slot/]port speed
portcfgspeed -i index1[-index2] [-f] speed
portcfgspeed -x hex1[-hex2] [...] speed
portcfgspeed -slot slot1[-slot2] [...] speed
portcfgspeed -h
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set the speed on a specified port or port range. This command disables and then
re-enables the ports, and the ports come online with the new speed setting. The configuration is saved in
nonvolatile memory and is persistent across switch reboots or power cycles. Use the portShow
command to display supported port speed levels. Use the portCfgShow command to display configured
speed settings.
On Condor 3-based plat forms ,the portCfgSpeed command checks if the requested speed is allowed,
based on the combination configured for the octet that contains the port. If the speed is not supported by
the current octet speed combination, this command exits with a warning message that displays the
combination compatible with desired speed . Use the portCfgOctetSpeedCombo command to the set
the suggested combination before re-executing the portCfgSpeed command.
You can identify a single port to be configured by its port number or by its port index number in decimal or
hexadecimal format. Port ranges are supported with port numbers, index numbers(decimal or
hexadecimal) or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports, slots,
and port index numbers.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled.
They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index
argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow.
NOTES This configuration cannot be set on VE/VEX_Ports. For a virtual FC port, the speed is always 10 GbE
and port speed autonegotiation is not possible.
Speed configuration is not applicable to FCoE ports.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Configures a single port identified by the port number relative to the slot on bladed
systems.
-i index1[-index2]Configures a port or a range of ports identified by port index numbers. Multiple
port ranges are not supported with this command.
-f Ignores nonexisting ports. This operand is valid only with the -i option.

portCfgTrunkPort
Enables or disables trunking on a port.
SYNOPSIS portcfgtrunkport [slot/]port[,] mode
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable trunking on a port. Use switchCfgTrunk to enable or disable
trunking on all ports of a switch.
When the command is executed to update the trunking configuration, the port to which the configuration
applies is disabled and subsequently re-enabled with the new trunking configuration. Traffic through the
ports may be temporarily disrupted.
Disabling trunking fails if a Trunk Area (TA) is enabled on the port. Use the portTrunkArea command to
remove the TA before disabling trunking.
NOTES Enabling trunking requires an ISL Trunking license. You may disable trunking without a license.
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.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
Virtual FC Ports do not support frame-based trunking . If trunking is enabled for one of these ports in a
slot, and a Brocade FX8-24 Extension blade is inserted into the slot, the configuration is not honored and
the system logs a RASLOG error. An attempt to enable trunking for a Virtual FC port in a slot that
contains a Brocade FX8-24 is rejected.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use
switchShow to display a listing of valid ports.
mode Specify 1 to enable trunking on the specified port. Specify 0 to disable trunking on
the port. This operand is required. Trunking is enabled by default, when a trunking
license is present on the switch.
EXAMPLES To enable a port for trunking:

portCfgVEXPort 2
portCfgVEXPort
Configures a port as a VEX_Port connected to an FC-IP and sets and displays VEX_Port configuration
parameters.
SYNOPSIS portcfgvexport [slot/]port
portcfgvexport [-a admin]
portcfgvexport [-f fabricid]
portcfgvexport [-r ratov]
portcfgvexport [-e edtov]
portcfgvexport [-d domainid]
portcfgvexport [-p pidformat]
portcfgvexport [-t fabric_parameter]
portcfgvexport [-m portmode]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure a port as a VEX_Port, to display the port's VEX_Port configuration, or to
change the configuration. If no optional parameter is specified, the command displays the currently
configured values; otherwise, it sets the specified attribute to its new value. The port must be disabled
prior to setting VEX_Port attributes. The port must be enabled before the port can become active
following VEX_Port parameter changes. Use portDisable and portEnable to disable or enable the port.
When the port is not active, the preferred domain ID is configurable. The preferred domain ID is used by
the VEX_Port's front phantom domain to request a domain ID from the principal switch. The domain ID
received becomes the subsequent preferred domain ID, which is persistent and is displayed.
NOTES In FOS v7.1.0 and later, both Open(IM1) and McDATA(IM2 and IM3) interop modes are not supported.
The fabric ID must be the same for every router port connected to the same edge fabric, and different for
every edge fabric. If two ports are connected to the same fabric but have been assigned different fabric
IDs, one of them will be disabled due to a fabric ID oversubscription. If two fabrics have been assigned
the same fabric ID, one of them will be disabled due to a fabric ID conflict.
The front domain WWN field displays the WWN of the front domain. If the port is enabled and the state is
"OK", the edge fabric principal switch domain ID and WWN also are displayed.
If the Fabric Parameter value is "Auto Negotiate", the port ID format, R_A_TOV, and E_D_TOV values
display the negotiated values indicated by "(N)" next to them. The negotiated values are what the edge
switch specifies in the ELP request. If the state is "Not OK", R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV display "Not
Applicable". By default, all VEX_Ports are auto-ELP enabled.
If the Fabric Parameter attribute value is "User configured", port ID format, R_A_TOV, and E_D_TOV
display the configured values.
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.

VLAN tagging ensures that test traffic traverses the same path as real FCIP traffic. A VLAN tag entry
must exist prior to issuing the --ping or --traceroute commands; this includes both the local and remote
sides.
NOTES The -crc option to portCmd --tperf is no longer supported as of Fabric OS v7.0.0.
End-to-end path characterization is not supported if an IPSec-enabled tunnel exists that uses the same
source/local IP address.
Make sure to use the --ping command with a double-dash (--). If the dashes are omitted, a message
displays indicating that the command is deprecated.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
ge port Specifies the port number of the GbE port on the blade.
--ping Pings a destination IP address from one of the source IP interfaces on the GbE
port. Valid arguments and their values include the following:
-s src_ip Specifies the source IP address that originates the ping request. IPv6 addresses
are supported.
-d dst_ip Specifies the destination IP address to which to target the ping request. IPv6
addresses are supported.
-x | -crossport Specifies the source IP address as a crossport. A crossport is the nonlocal
(secondary) XGE port to a VE_Port group that provides failover capabilities for the
tunnel configured on the local XGE port. This operand is optional and supported
only on the Brocade FX8-24 XGE ports.
-n num_requests Specifies the number of ping requests. Valid values are 1 to 255. The default is 4.
This operand is optional.
-q service_type Specifies the type of service in the ping request. The default is 0 and service_type
must be an integer from 0 to 255. This operand is optional.
-t ttl Specifies the time to live. Valid values are 1 to 255. The default is 100. This
operand is optional.
-w wait_time Specifies the time to wait for the response of each ping request in milliseconds.
The default is 5000 ms and the maximum wait time is 9000 ms (9 seconds). This
operand is optional.

-z size Specifies the default packet size to a fixed size in bytes. The default is 64 bytes. In
an IPv4 environment, the ICMP/IP header occupies 28 bytes. In an IPv6
environment it occupies 48 bytes. The total size, including ICMP/IP headers (28 or
48 bytes without IP options) cannot be greater than the IP MTU configured on the
interface. This operand is optional.
-v vlan_id Specifies the VLAN ID. Values must be in the range between 1 and 4094. There is
no default value. Note that a VLAN tag entry must exist on the local and remote
sides prior to issuing the -v option. A VLAN Tag table entry is dynamically
maintained by the ipperf application. See the portCfg help page for details on
creating a VLAN tag table.
-c L2 Class-of-Service
Specifies Class of Service/Priority, as defined by IEEE 802.1p. Values must
be in the range between 0 and 7. The default is 0. This operand is optional
with the -v option.
--traceroute Traces the IP router hops used to reach the host dst_ip from one of the source IP
interfaces on the GbE port. Valid arguments include the following:
-s src_ip Specifies the local IP address to use for sourcing the probe packets. IPv6
addresses are supported.
-d dst_ip Specifies the destination IP address to which to probe the IP router path. IPv6
addresses are supported.
-x | -crossport Specifies the source IP address as a crossport. A crossport is the nonlocal
(secondary) XGE port to a VE_Port group that provides failover capabilities for the
tunnel configured on the local XGE port. This operand is optional and supported
only on the Brocade FX8-24 XGE ports.
-h max_hops Specifies the maximum hop limit used in the outgoing probe packets. The default
value is 30 hops. This operand is optional.
-f first_ttl Specifies the starting point for the "time to live" parameter. The default is 1. The
command skips processing for those intermediate gateways that are less than the
first_ttl hops. This operand is optional.
-q service_type Specifies the type of service in the traceroute request. The default is 0 and
service_type must be an integer from 0 to 255. This operand is optional.
-w wait_time Sets the time, in milliseconds, to wait for a response to a probe. The default is
5000 milliseconds. The maximum wait time is 9000 milliseconds (9 seconds). This
operand is optional.
-z size Specifies the size, in bytes, of the trace route packet to use. The default is 64
bytes. In an IPv4 environment, the ICMP/IP header occupies 28 bytes. In an IPv6
environment, it occupies 48 bytes. The total size, including ICMP/IP headers (28
or 48 bytes without IP options), cannot be greater than the IP MTU configured on
the interface. This operand is optional.

-v vlan_id Specifies the VLAN ID. Values must be in the range between 1 and 4094. There is
no default value. Note that a VLAN tag entry must exist on the local and remote
sides prior to issuing the -v option. A VLAN Tag table entry is dynamically
maintained by the ipperf application. See the portCfg help page for details on
creating a VLAN tag table.
-c L2 Class-of-Service
Specifies Class of Service/Priority, as defined by the IEEE 802.1p
specification. Values must be in the range between 0 and 7. The default value
is 0. This operand is optional with the -v option.
--tperf Determines the path characteristics to a remote host or tunnel destination The
-tperf option requires two separate Brocade FX8-24 blades to function. One blade
plays the role of a data sink and the other blade plays the role of the data source.
TPerf also requires that you define a tunnel as a TPerf tunnel. Refer to portCfg
fciptunnel for more information.
-sink | -source Designates the switch to function either as a data sink or a data source. This
operand is required.
When -sink is specified, TPerf begins to respond to traffic sent by the switch
acting as the data source. The process continues to run until it is either terminated
by user intervention (Ctrl +C) or, if a value for duration is specified with the -t
option, until the process completes the set time frame.
The following optional arguments are ignored on the data sink, because it services
all requests from the data source: -high, -medium, -low, -unidirectional,
-random, -pattern, and -size.
When -source is specified, TPerf generates traffic until it is interrupted by user
intervention (Ctrl + c) or, if a value for duration is specified with the -t option, until
the process completes the set time frame. The TPerf module on the remote host
will immediately begin generating traffic; it is therefore imperative that the data
sink has been started on the opposing switch before the data source is started on
the local switch.
The following arguments are optional:
-high Generates high priority traffic.
-medium Generates medium priority traffic.
-low Generates low priority traffic.
If no traffic priority is specified only medium priority traffic is generated.
-time duration Specifies the duration of the TPerf traffic flow in seconds. If a value for duration is
not specified, the process continues to run until it is terminated with Ctrl + C.
-unidirectional Generates traffic in one direction only. The default is round-trip.
-random Specifies a random protocol data unit (PDU) size between 2048 and the size of
the send request. Refer to -size below.

-pattern pattern Specifies the test data pattern for the payload as one of the following values:
0 | notspecified No pattern is specified. TPerf applies whatever is already set or in memory. This is
the default value.
1 | allzeros The specified pattern is "all zeros".
2 | allones The specified pattern is "all ones".
3 | incrementingbyte
The specified pattern is "incrementing byte".
4 | random The specified pattern is "random".
5 | jitter The specified pattern is "jitter".
-size pdu_size Specifies the PDU size to use (not including headers). The valid range is between
2048 and 10112 bytes. The default is equivalent to the maximum segment size
(MSS). This is the maximum size if the -random option is specified.
-interval interval Specifies the interval at which the statistics display is refreshed, in seconds. The
default is 30 seconds.

portDecom
Decommissions and disables an E_Port without frame loss.
SYNOPSIS portdecom
portdecom [slot/]port
portdecom --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to disable an E_Port without frame loss. The E_Port can either be a single redundant
E_Port or an E_Port which is part of a trunk group. The port must be an operational E_Port with at least
one other redundant E_Port available to reach all domains that the E_Port can reach. Or the port must
be an operational E_Port which is part of a trunk group with at least one other member in the trunk. The
last member of the trunk group may also be decommissioned, if there are other available redundant
E_Ports.
Upon successful completion of the command all traffic flows on the port will have been moved to other
redundant paths and the port will be placed in a persistently disabled state. To bring the port back online
use the portCfgPersistentEnable command.
NOTES The execution of this command requires that the lossless feature is enabled on both the local switch and
the remote switch on the other end of the E_Port. This command will fail for online ports, if the port is not
a fully operational E_Port or trunk port, lossless is not enabled on the local or remote switch, or no
alternate redundant path is available to route the traffic. A redundant path must be an E_Port connection
between the same pair of switches as the E_Port that is being decommissioned. Use the topologyShow
command to verify that alternate paths are available to reach all domains.
When decommissioning the member of a trunk group, all members must have an equal link cost. If a
member does not have an equal cost, the cost of the trunk as a whole may change after
decommissioning the port and cause routes to be changed. Refer to the linkCost command for more
information.
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

portDisable
Disables a port or a range of ports.
SYNOPSIS portdisable [slot/]port1[-port2] [...]
portdisable -i [index1[-index2] [...] [-f]]
portdisable -x [hex1[-hex2] [...]]
portdisable -slot [slot1[-slot2] [...]]
portdisable [slot/]port -r disable_reason_string
portdisable -h
DESCRIPTION Use this command to disable a port or a range of ports. If the port is connected to another switch when
disabled, the fabric may reconfigure. Devices connected to this port can no longer communicate with the
fabric.
You can identify a single port to be disabled by its port number or by its port index number in decimal or
hexadecimal format. Port ranges are supported with port numbers, index numbers(decimal or
hexadecimal) or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports, slots,
and port index numbers.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled.
They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index
argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow.
The front panel LED of a disabled port flashes amber in a two-second cycle. If the port was online before
being disabled, a state transition will be indicated in one of the following ways: RSCN, SNMP trap, or
Web pop-up window.
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.
This command is not supported on FCoE ports. To disable an FCoE port, use fcoe --disable.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:

portfencing --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable the Fabric Watch port fencing feature for specified port types and
Fabric Watch areas. Supported port types include E_Ports, optical F_Ports, copper F_Ports, physical
ports, and Virtual E_Ports (VE_Ports). Portfencing can be enabled on 7500/FR4-18i VE ports under the
E-port class. Port fencing is not available on the 7800/FX8-24 VE ports.
You can configure a specified port type or a list of port types to enable port fencing for one or more areas.
Use the all option to indicate all port types or all areas.
Use the --disable option to disable port fencing for the specified areas on all ports of the specified port
types. Use the --show option to display the configuration. The display includes the configured port types,
error types, and port fencing status (disabled or enabled). Port fencing is disabled by default.
Port fencing monitors ports for erratic behavior and disables a port if specified error conditions are met.
The portFencing command enables and configures the port fencing feature; it does not set the
thresholds for port fencing. You must configure port thresholds with the portThConfig command before
you can enable port fencing.
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.
This command requires a Fabric Watch license.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--show Displays the port fencing status of all configured port types and area types.
--enable Enables port fencing for one or more specified port types and areas. Specifying at
least one port type and area is required. This command fails if thresholds are not
set. Refer to portThConfig help for more information.
--disable Disables port fencing for a specified area on all ports in a port type list. Upon
successful execution Fabric Watch ceases monitoring the ports for errors in the
disabled area. You must specify at least one port type and area when disabling
port fencing.

portLedTest 2
portLedTest
Cycles user port LEDs.
SYNOPSIS portledtest
[--slot slot_number]
[-ports itemlist]
[-uports itemlist]
[-npass count]
[-action value]
ceeportledtest
[--slot slot_number]
[-ports itemlist]
[-npass count]
[-action value]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to exercise the user port LEDs in the current switch. When used without a slot or port
specifier, all ports are tested.
For each port, the command cycles through the ON and OFF state by setting the ATTN LEDs to green for
the ON condition and unlighted for the OFF condition. The SPEED LEDs are initially set to black before
the test starts. The SPEED LEDs turn green while the test is running.
portLedTest and ceePortLedTest are platform-specific versions of the same test. Use ceePortLedTest
on FCoE platforms only. Use fcipLedTest for GbE port testing on the Brocade 7800 and FX8-24. On all
other platforms, use portLedTest.
This diagnostic cannot be run on an operational switch. You must disable the switch using the
chassisDisable command before you can run this test. After the command completes, the ATTN LEDs
flash amber, indicating that the command has finished and exited. Enable the switch using the
chassisEnable command to set the ATTN LEDs back to black.
NOTES You cannot interrupt the test by pressing the return key (<cr>).
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--slot slot Specifies the slot number on bladed systems. When used without the port option,
this option exercises all user ports in the specified slot. When used with the port
option, only the ports specified for the specified slot are tested.
-ports itemlist Specifies a list of front-end blade ports to test. When a specific port is specified,
the blade port reference is used. If you want to test a specific user port, you will
need root access to the bladePortMap command to map the specified blade port
to the desired user port. You can also use the -uports option to specify the user
ports. Refer to itemList for more information on the itemlist parameter. When
specifying ports on a chassis, the -ports operand must be preceded by the --slot
operand.
-uports itemlist Specifies a list of user ports to test. If this operand is omitted, by default the test
will run on all valid blade ports in the slot. Refer to itemList for more information
on the itemlist parameter.

command (requires root permission):
switch:admin> portledtest --slot 1 -ports 213
Running portledtest ..............
WARNING:
This test should NOT be aborted in the middle. If aborted, current
blade or the switch (in-case of Pizza box) may become unusable.
Reset the blade or the switch to recover.

portLoopbackTest
Performs a functional test of port N->N path.
SYNOPSIS portloopbacktest

[-ports itemlist]
[-uports itemlist]
ceeportloopbacktest
[--slot slot]
[-nframes count]
[-lb_mode mode]
[-spd_mode mode]
[-ports itemlist]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to verify the functional operation of the switch by exercising the blade ports of the
switch.
The portLoopbackTest and ceePortLoopbackTest commands are platform-specific versions of the
same test. The portLoopbackTest command is supported on all Goldeneye2 and Condor-based
platforms. Use ceePortLoopbackTest on FCoE platforms only. On all other platforms, use
portLoopbackTest. Refer to the Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Guide, Appendix A, for a
table that correlates ASIC type with switch models.
This test sends frames from a given port's transmitter and loops them back into the same port's receiver.
The loopback is done at the parallel loopback path. The path traversed in this test does not include the
media or the fiber cable. Only one frame is transmitted and received at any given time.
The port LED blinking pattern depends on the hardware platform on which the test is run. On
Condor2-based platforms, the LEDs flicker green rapidly while the test is running. Only the ports on
which the test is running flicker green. On Condor3-based platforms, the LEDs on all ports will flash
amber, then turn to green, and then return to amber. After the test completes the lights turn to the
expected switch disabled pattern. This difference in LED patterns is due to a difference in the ASIC
design. Refer to the "Supported hardware and software" section in the Fabric OS Command Reference
for a mapping of ASIC types to switch models.
The test performs the following operations:
1. Sets all ports for parallel loopback.
2. Creates a frame F of maximum data size (2,112 bytes).
3. Transmits the frame F through port N.
4. Picks up the frame from the same port N.
5. Checks if any of the following eight statistic error counters report nonzero values:
ENC_in, CRC_err, TruncFrm, FrmTooLong, BadEOF, Enc_out, BadOrdSet, DiscC3
6. Checks whether the transmit, receive, or class 3 receiver counters are stuck at some value.
7. Checks whether the number of frames transmitted is not equal to the number of frames received.
8. Repeats Steps two through seven for all ports until one of the following conditions is met:
a. The number of frames (or pass count) requested is reached.
b. All ports are marked bad.

At each pass, the frame is created from a different data type of a palette of seven. If seven passes are
requested, seven different data types are used in the test. If eight passes are requested, the first seven
frames use unique data types, and the eighth is the same as the first. The seven data types are:
CSPAT: 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, ...
BYTE_LFSR: 0x69, 0x01, 0x02, 0x05, ...
CHALF_SQ: 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, ...
QUAD_NOT: 0x00, 0xff, 0x00, 0xff, ...
CQTR_SQ: 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, ...
CRPAT: 0xbc, 0xbc, 0x23, 0x47, ...
RANDOM: 0x25, 0x7f, 0x6e, 0x9a, ....
NOTES Do not abort this test prematurely, using CTRL-C or q to quit. Doing so may cause the test to report
unexpected errors. Errors may vary depending on the hardware platform.
You cannot interrupt the test by pressing the return key (<cr>).
This command does not support High Availability (HA).
The Brocade 8510/DCX series cannot negotiate speeds of 1 Gbps.
This diagnostic cannot be run on an operational switch. You must disable the switch using the
chassisDisable command before you can run this test. After the test completes, re-enable the switch
using the chassisEnable command. Do not use the switchDisable command followed by manually
shutting down the ports before running the test. This will not work because executing switchEnable after
the test completes will leave the ports in the same state as before. The only way to bring the ports down
before running the test and back up after the test completes is by using the chassisDisable command
followed by the chassisEnable command.
The Brocade FCoE10-24 blade (ceePortLoopbackTest) supports only lb_mode 1, 2, and 8.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--slot slot Specifies the number of the slot on which to run the diagnostics. All eligible ports
relative to the slot number are tested. The default is 0 and designed to operate on
fixed-port-count products.
-nframes count Specifies the number of frames to send. The test progresses until the specified
number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The default value is 1.
-lb_mode mode Specifies the loopback mode for the test. By default, this test uses the internal
loopback. Valid values depend on the platform on which the command is
executed. Unsupported values are rejected with an appropriate message. To run
this test with mode values of 1 and 7, loopback cables must be connected to all
front end ports or the test will fail.

-spd_mode mode Specifies the speed mode for the test. This parameter controls the speed at which
each port is operated. The speed option chosen or defaulted to must not exceed
the speed capability of the SFP device or the test results will be unpredictable. For
example, if you use an 8 Gbps SFP in a 16 Gbps-supported slot, you must use
spd_mode 8 option to specify 8 Gbps speed.
0Runs test at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps on 8 Gbps ports. Runs test at
16 Gbps on 16 Gbps ports. (deprecated)
1Runs test at 1 Gbps (deprecated).
2Runs test at 2 Gbps.
4Runs test at 4 Gbps.
8Runs test at 8 Gbps (Default for 8 Gbps platforms).
10 Runs test at 10 Gbps (Default for 10 Gbps platforms).
16 Runs test at 16 Gbps (Default for 16 Gbps platforms).
-ports itemlist Specifies a list of blade ports to test. By default, all of the blade ports in the
specified slot (--slot) are used. You must have root access to the bladePortMap
command if you want to map a specific front-end blade port to a user port. You
can also use the -uports option to specify the user ports. Refer to itemList for
more information on the itemlist parameter.
-uports itemlist Specifies a list of user ports to test. If this operand is omitted, by default the test
will run on all valid blade ports in the slot. Refer to itemList for more information
on the itemlist parameter.
DIAGNOSTICS When it detects failures, the test may report one or more of the following error messages. If errors
persist, contact Technical Support.
DATA Data received does not match the data sent.
ERRSTAT Errors were found in the ASIC statistics.
INIT Port failed to initialize.
PORTDIED A previously initialized port went to an uninitialized state.

portMirror 2
portMirror
Adds, deletes, or displays port mirror connections.
SYNOPSIS portmirror
portmirror --show
portmirror --add [slot/]port SID DID
portmirror --delete SID DID
DESCRIPTION Use this command to add, delete, or display a mirror connection between two ports, a source and a
destination port. When used without operand, this command displays the usage.
Port mirroring allows you to configure any switch port in such a way that it will mirror the traffic passing in
both directions between a specified source port (SID) and a destination port (DID) back to the configured
mirror port. You can use this feature to troubleshoot Fiber Channel end-to-end link communications.
The port mirroring feature mirrors only those frames to the mirror port that contain the specified SID/DID.
It does not mirror all frames transmitted or received for a given port. This restriction allows a single mirror
port to mirror multiple mirror connections.
The SID must be located in the same domain where the mirror port is configured. The following
configurations are supported.
•SID, DID and mirror port reside in the same blade.
•SID, DID and mirror port reside in the same switch (standalone platform).
•SID, DID and mirror port reside in different blades in the same chassis.
•SID, DID and mirror port reside in two different chassis or standalone switches connected through
interchassis or interswitch links.
The DID can be either on the local switch or on a different switch. Any given SID can participate in either
one or a maximum of three mirror connections, depending on the switch configuration and switch model
associated with the SID.
Port mirroring makes use of ASIC resources, and the behavior of this command is therefore dependent
on the hardware platform on which the feature is configured. Refer to the Fabric OS Troubleshooting and
Diagnostics Guide for information on the following topics:
•Platforms that support the port mirroring feature
•Supported mirror connection maximums for each platform
•Platform-specific feature restrictions
•Special configuration considerations and configuration scenarios
A mirror connection may be rejected because of an invalid configuration, an unavailability of resources,
duplicate entries, a mirror port that is not configured, or an offline connection port.
When issued with the --show option, this command displays the following information:
Mirror_Port The port number of the mirror port that mirrors the traffic between a SID and a
DID.
SID Source Port ID.
DID Destination Port ID.
840 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01

State The state of the mirror connection. The state can either be "Defined" or "Enabled."
In both cases, the port mirroring connection is persistently stored. A connection
that is "Defined" has not been hardware-configured because at least one port is
not online. A connection that is "Enabled" has been configured in the hardware.
You must enable port mirroring on the port before you can configure mirror connections for that port. Use
portcfg mirrorport --enable to enable a port for port mirroring. Use the portCfgShow command to
display all mirror ports on a switch. The switchShow command displays the configured port as "Mirror
Port".
Use the portPerfShow command to display the total number of transmitted and received bytes for each
port. In the case of a mirror port, this command shows twice the amount of traffic, because the mirror port
transmits and receives the frames.
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.
The port mirroring feature is not supported on all platforms. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide
for more information.
The port mirroring feature is supported in Virtual Fabric mode so long as the FC Routing service is not
enabled on the logical switch. Use the fosConfig command to disable the FC Routing service.
The Brocade 300, 5300, and most embedded switches can participate only in one mirror connection. All
other platforms support up to three mirror connections. These limitations hold regardless of whether
Virtual Fabrics are enabled or disabled.
When in-order deliver (IOD) is enabled, deleting a mirror connection can cause frame loss between the
SID and DID. If IOD is disabled, deleting a mirror connection may introduce an "order of delivery" error
between the SID and DID.
Port mirroring is not supported over FCIP links (VE tunnels) or on Condor 3 FC ports that have
encryption or compression enabled.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--show Displays all configured mirror connections.
--add Adds a mirror connection between a source port and a destination port.
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed
systems. This port is the mirror port, in which the mirror traffic is shown. Use
switchShow for a listing of valid ports.
SID Specifies the 3-byte source ID of the originator device in "0xDDAAPP" format,
where DD is the Domain ID, AA is the Area ID and PP is the AL_PA ID. For
example, 0x050200 has a domain ID of 5, an area ID of 2, and an AL_PA ID of 0.
The values for the SID and the DID cannot both be 0x000000.
DID Specifies the 3-byte DID destination ID of the destination device, in "0xDDAAPP"
format, where DD is Domain ID, AA is Area ID and PP is AL_PA ID. For example,
0x050200 has a domain ID of 5, an area ID of 2 and an AL_PA ID of 0. The values
for the SID and the DID cannot both be 0x000000.

portname -i [index1[-index2][...][-f] [-n name]]
portname -slot slot1[-slot2] [...][-n name]
portname -h
DESCRIPTION Use this command to assign a port name to a specified port or to a range of ports. The port name is
included in the portShow output; it should not be confused with the world wide port name.
When a port name is not configured, the portName command displays a default name in the portShow
output. The format of the default name is as follows:
•On standalone platforms, the default port name displays as portportnumber, for example, "port10."
•On enterprise-class platforms, the default port name displays as slotslotnumberportportnumber, for
example, "slot1por5."
You can identify a single port to be configured by its port number or by its port index number. Port ranges
are supported with index numbers or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of
valid ports, slots, and port index numbers. When issued without the name operand, this command
displays the names of the specified ports or of all ports, if no port is specified.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled.
They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index
argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use the portSwapShow command. When Ficon
Management Server (FMS) mode is enabled, specifying a port range will fail. This is because FMS does
not permit multiple ports to have the same port name. The first port in the range gets the port name, all
other ports in the range will fail. Multiple ports can have the same port name in non-FMS mode.
Like all other configurable port attributes, port names persists across reboots and power cycles. They are
not affected by the configDefault command, but they are cleared by portCfgDefault.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port Assigns a name to a single port identified by its port number.
-i index1[-index2]Assigns a name to a single port or to a range of ports identified by port index
numbers, for example, -i 1/3-8 -n backup. You may specify multiple index ranges
separated by a space, for example, -i 35-45 61-68 -n backup.
-f Ignores nonexisting ports. This operand is valid only with the -i option.

portName
2
-slot [slot1[-slot2]Assigns a name to all ports on a slot or on a range of slots, for example, -s 3-5 -n
backup. Multiple slot ranges are not supported with this command.
-n name Specifies the name to be assigned to the ports. The port name is a character
string up to 128 characters, including spaces and characters, and excluding
commas (,), semicolons (;), backslashes (\), and the at sign (@). When FICON
Server Management mode is enabled, the port name character string can only be
up to 24 chatacters in length. To erase a port name, execute the port name
operand as an empty string in double-quotation marks ( -n ""). This operand is
optional; if omitted, the current port name is displayed.
Some characters require a qualifier or double quotation marks when used with a
bash shell; for example, enter a single quotation mark as \', enter an exclamation
mark as \!, or enter a pipe (|) as "|".
-h Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To name a port tape drive 8:
switch:admin> portname 1/3 -n "Tape drive 8"
switch:admin> portname 1/3

portPerfShow 2
portPerfShow
Displays port throughput performance.
SYNOPSIS portperfshow
portperfshow [[slot/]port1[-[slot/]port2]]
[-tx -rx | -tx | -rx] [-t interval]]
portperfshow -x hex1[-hex2]
portperfshow --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display throughput information for all ports on a switch or chassis or to display the
information for a specified port or port range. You can display throughput information about a single port
identified by its port number or by its port index number in decimal or hexadecimal format. Port ranges
are supported with port numbers, index numbers(decimal or hexadecimal) or by specifying a slot or a slot
range.. Output includes the number of bytes received and transmitted per interval. Throughput values
are displayed as either bytes, kilobytes (k), megabytes (m), or gigabytes (g). Values are rounded down.
The data is displayed one column per port plus one column that displays the total for these ports. Results
display every second or over a specified interval. Press Enter, Ctrl-c, or Ctrl-d to terminate the
command. To run this command one time only, specify an interval of zero.
When executed with the command line arguments -tx, -rx, or -tx -rx, this command displays the
transmitter throughput, the receiver throughput, or both. For ports with status of "No_Module,"
"No_Light," "No_SigDet," or "Loopback" throughput is displayed as 0.
An asterisk (*) in the output indicates a SIM port that is generating or receiving traffic.
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.
When FastWrite or Tape Pipelining is enabled, the portPerfShow VE link output is different. The
acceleration entity (FastWrite or Tape Piplelining) responds by sending XFER_RDY and status well
ahead of the actual device's response to the host. The host sends data which is stored near the device
and is delivered to the device only when the device is ready. Consequently, the data may be stored near
the target for some brief period of time. In this case, the portPerfShow output on the VE link may not
match the output on the device port.
OPERANDS This command has the following optional operands:
[slot/]port1[-[slot/]port2]
Displays throughput information for a single port or for a range of ports, relative to
the slot number on bladed systems. Port numbers in a range must be separated
by a dash (-), for example, 3-5, or 2/0-2/15. Port ranges cannot span slots. Use
switchShow to display a listing of valid ports. Port operands are optional; if
omitted, information for all ports is displayed.
-t time_interval Specifies the interval, in seconds, between each sample. The default interval is
one second. If no interval is specified, the default is used. To run this command
one time only, specify an interval of zero.
-tx Displays the transmitter throughput.
846 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
portPerfShow

-rx Displays the receiver throughput.
-tx -rx Displays the transmitter and receiver throughput.
-x hex1 [-hex2]Displays a port or a range of ports identified by port numbers, index number in
hexadecimal format.

portRouteShow 2
portRouteShow
Displays routing tables for the specified port.
SYNOPSIS portrouteshow [slot/]port
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the port address ID for a specified port and the contents of the following
port routing tables:
External unicast routing table
Displays how the specified port forwards unicast frames to remote domains in the
following format: domain_number: ports_bitmap
domain_number The remote domain ID to which frames are ultimately routed.
ports_bitmap The port number on the ASIC pair to which frames for the domain ID forward in
bitmap hex format; for example, 0x0100 indicates port 8 on the ASIC pair. The
arrangement of ports on an ASIC pair is specific to the system type. For any active
port, this table contains at least one entry, which routes unicast frames destined to
the embedded port (value 0x10000) of the local domain.
Internal unicast routing table
Displays how the specified port forwards unicast frames to a locally attached
NX_Port in the following format: area_number: ports_bitmap
area_number The area number of a device (or set of looped devices) attached to the local
switch.
ports_bitmap The format of ports_bitmap is the same as the one used in the external unicast
routing table.
Broadcast routing table
Displays how the specified port forwards broadcast frames. There is one bit map
entry in this table, similar to the bit maps in the other tables; however, this table
typically has only Bit 16 set (value 0x10000), indicating this port always routes
broadcast frames to the embedded port, for handling by the firmware.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to display, followed
by a slash (/).
port Specifies the number of the port to display, relative to its slot for bladed systems.

FUNCTION Display IP Interface configurations on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 platforms
SYNOPSIS portshow option [slot/]ge_port [optional_args]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display FCIP-related configuration parameters on the Brocade 7800 switch and on
the Brocade FX8-24 blade. The parameters displayed by this command are set with the portCfg
command. The following displays are supported with this command:
•portshow ipif - Displays the local IP interfaces.
•portshow iproute - Displays static routes on the IP interface.
•portshow arp - Displays the content of the address resolution protocol (ARP) table.
•portshow vlantag - Displays the IP interface VLAN configuration.
•portshow autoneg - Displays autonegotiation status.
NOTES IPv6 addresses are supported.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be displayed,
followed by a slash (/).
ge_port Specifies the number of the GbE port to be displayed relative to the slot number.
The GbE ports are numbered ge0 - ge9 on the Brocade FX8-24 blade and ge0 -
ge5 on the Brocade 7800 switch. The 10GbE ports on the Brocade FX8-24 blade
are numbered xge0 and xge1. Use the switchShow command for a listing of valid
ports

ipif Displays the IP interface ID, IP address, netmask, and MTU for IPv4 addresses.
Displays the prefix instead of the netmask for IPv6 addresses. Flags are
explained in the command output (refer to the example below).
iproute Displays the IP address, netmask, gateway, metrics, and flags. Displays the prefix
instead of the netmask for IPv6 addresses. A status flag for the IP routes indicates
if a route is used for the management interfaces. A route definition that uses one
of the internal interfaces has the words "Interface Management" printed at the end
of the line.
arp Displays the address resolution protocol (ARP) table. You can display the content
of the ARP table, but you cannot modify its contents.
-lmac Displays the local MAC address. This operand is optional.
vlantag Displays the VLAN Tagging configuration. For each entry, the output displays the
IP interface address, the destination IP address, the VLAN ID, the L2 CoS priority,
and a flag. This display includes tunnel- and IPIF-level configurations. The
following flags indicate the type of configuration:
Perm Permanent entry. Permanent entries are configured at the IP interface level with
the portCfg vlantag command.
Perm Net Network-wide permanent entry. The same as the permanent entry except that no
destination address was defined (defaults to 0.0.0.0), so traffic to all destinations
is tagged.
App Application layer VLAN configuration defined at the circuit level.
autoneg Displays the atuonegotiation status.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to clear the hardware statistics for the specified ports. Including ALPA-based CRC
monitor, End-to-End monitor, and Filter-based performance monitor statistics.
You can identify a single port to be cleared by its port number or by its port index number in decimal or
hexadecimal format. Port ranges are supported with port numbers, index numbers(decimal or
hexadecimal) or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports, slots,
and port index numbers.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled.
They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index
argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow.
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.
This command is not supported on FCoE ports.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to be cleared,
followed by a slash (/).
port Clears a single port identified by the port number, relative to its slot on bladed
systems. Port ranges are not supported with this command. Use switchShow for
a listing of valid ports.
-i index1[-index2]Clears a single port or a range of ports identified by port index numbers. You may
specify multiple index ranges separated by a space, for example, -i 33-47 65-73.
-f Ignores nonexisting ports. This operand is valid only with the -i option.
-x [hex1 [-hex2]] Clears a port or a range of ports identified by port numbers, index number in
hexadecimal format. You may specify multiple port ranges separated by a space,
for example, -x 21-26 28-3c.
-slot [slot1[-slot2]Clears all ports on a slot or on a range of slots, for example, -s 3-5. You may
specify multiple slot ranges separated by a space, for example, -s 3-5 8-10.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to display port hardware statistics counters. Some counters are platform- or
port-specific and display only on those platforms and ports. All statistics have a maximum 32-bit value of
4,294,967,295.
You can display statistics of a single port to be cleared by its port number or by its port index number in
decimal or hexadecimal format. Port ranges are supported with port numbers, index numbers(decimal or
hexadecimal) or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports, slots,
and port index numbers.
Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled.
They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index
to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow.
The command output may include the following fields (Tx indicates frames transmitted by the port; Rx
indicates frames received by the port).
stat_wtx The number of 4-byte words transmitted.
stat_wrx The number of 4-byte words received.
The size of stat_wrx in portstatsshow is fixed for 32 bit, use portstats64show for
64-bit counters. If the stat_wrx counter is used for 64 bit, it wraps very quickly and
the counter may not increment.
stat_ftx The number of class 2, class 3, and control frames transmitted.
stat_frx The number of class 2, class 3, and control frames received.
stat_c2_frx The number of class 2 frames received.
stat_c3_frx The number of class 3 frames received.
stat_lc_rx The number of link control frames received.
Fabric OS Command Reference 907
53-1003108-01
portStatsShow 2
stat_mc_rx The number of multicast frames received.
stat_mc_to The number of multicast timeouts.
stat_mc_tx The number of multicast frames transmitted.
tim_rdy_pri The number of times that sending R_RDY or VC_RDY primitive signals was a
higher priority than sending frames, due to diminishing credit reserves in the
transmitter at the other end of the fiber. This parameter is sampled at intervals of
1.8 microseconds, and the counter is incremented by 1 if the condition is true.
tim_txcrd_z The number of times that the port was unable to transmit frames because the
transmit BB credit was zero. The purpose of this statistic is to detect congestion or
a device affected by latency. This parameter is sampled at intervals of 2.5
microseconds, and the counter is incremented if the condition is true. Each
sample represents 2.5 microseconds of time with zero Tx BB Credit. An increment
of this counter means that the frames could not be sent to the attached device for
2.5 microseconds, indicating degraded performance.
tim_txcrd_z_vc The number of times that the port was unable to transmit frames because the
transmit BB credit was zero for each of the port's 16 Virtual Channels (VC 0-15).
The purpose of this statistic is to detect congestion or a device affected by latency.
This parameter is sampled at intervals of 2.5 microseconds (microseconds), and
the counter is incremented if the condition is true. Each sample represents 2.5
microseconds of time with zero Tx BB Credit. An increment of this counter means
that the frames could not be send to the attached device for 2.5 microseconds,
indicating degraded performance (platform- and port-specific).
fec_cor_detected The number of errors corrected by FEC.
fec_uncor_detected The number of errors left uncorrected by FEC.
er_enc_in The number of encoding errors inside frames.
er_crc The number of frames with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors.
er_trunc The number of frames shorter than the minimum frame length.
er_toolong The number of frames longer than the maximum frame length.
er_bad_eof The number of frames with bad end-of-frame.
er_enc_out The number of encoding error outside frames.
er_bad_os The number of invalid ordered sets (platform- and port-specific).
er_pcs_blk The number of Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) block errors. This counter records
encoding violations on 10 Gbps or 16 Gbps ports. This is applicable only on
platforms that support 10 Gbps or 16 Gbps ports.

hard zoning is enabled, frames will be discarded at the TX port. If both RX and TX
port hard zoning is enabled, frames will be discarded at the RX port. (LUN zoning
is currently not supported.)
er_crc_good_eof The number of CRC errors with good end-of-frame (EOF) (platform- and
port-specific).
er_inv_arb The number of invalid arbitrated loops (ARBs).

portSwap 2
portSwap
Swaps two ports or removes swapping of ports.
SYNOPSIS portswap [slot1/]port1 [slot2/]port2
portswap --restore
DESCRIPTION Use this command to swap the 24-bit port address (PID) for a pair of ports or to remove swapping of
ports. When swapping both ports must be disabled prior to executing this command and the
port-swapping feature must be enabled using portSwapEnable.
The result of this operation is persistent across reboots and power cycles. Use portSwapShow to display
the swapped ports along with their new port address
Port swap information is kept in its own database; it cannot be manipulated by editing the configuration
database displayed by configShow and configUpload. To undo a previous port swap, execute
portSwap again on the same two ports.
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.
You cannot swap E_ports that are configured as part of a TI zone. The TI zone information is lost when
you swap the E_ports. To work around this issue, reconfigure your TI zones rather than swapping the
ports.
This command is not allowed if one or both the ports are from a faulty blade.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot1 For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the first port whose area
number is to be swapped, followed by a slash (/).
port1 Specifies the number of the first port whose address is to be swapped, relative to
its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow to display a listing of valid ports.
slot2 For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the second port whose area
number is to be swapped, followed by a slash (/).
port2 Specifies the number of the second port whose port address is to be swapped,
relative to its slot for bladed systems.
--restore Removes swapping of all ports.

portTest
Performs a functional test of a switch in a live fabric.
SYNOPSIS porttest
[-ports itemlist]
[-iteration count]
[-userdelay time]
[-timeout time]
[-pattern pattern]
[-patsize size]
[-seed seed]
[-listtype porttype]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to isolate problems in a single replaceable element and to trace problems to near-end
terminal equipment, far-end terminal equipment, or the transmission line. You can perform this test on a
daily basis or as needed to verify the persistence of failures detected earlier.
This command verifies the functional operation of the switch by sending frames from a port's transmitter,
and looping the frames back through an external fiber cable into the port's receiver. The test exercises all
switch components from the main board, to the fibre cable, to the media (of the devices and the switch),
and back to the main board.
The cables and media connected should be of the same type: a short-wavelength media (switch) port
should be connected to another short-wavelength media (device) port using a short-wavelength cable; a
long-wavelength port should be connected to a long-wavelength port, and a copper port should be
connected to a copper port.
Only one frame is transmitted and received at any given time. The port LEDs flicker green while the test
is running.
This command supports E_Ports, F_Ports (must support ELS Echo), L_Port, and N->N loopback ports.
In addition, on switches running Fabric OS v6.4.0 and later, you can now use portTest on port
configurations that previously caused nonspecific test results or were skipped by portTest. The following
ports are now support the portTest diagnostics.
•Ports with index numbers greater than 255.
•Ports with swapped areas.
•Ports in shared area regions.
•Ports in logical switches.
•Ports in Base Switches.
•Long Distance ports.
This command is currently not supported on the following ports or switch configurations:
•Interchassis links (ICL) ports
•F_Ports connected to an Access Gateway
•EX_Ports
•E_Ports connected to EX_Ports
•The portTest diagnostics is not supported in Access Gateway mode.
This command performs the following operations:
1. Initiates tests on certain ports (portTest command).
2. Stops active tests on certain ports (stopPortTest command).
3. Takes a snapshot of the test result (portTestShow command).
Fabric OS Command Reference 919

portTest 2
Use the stopPortTest command to stop the test. Refer to the stopPortTest help page for more
information.
Use the portTestShow command to view the current status of portTest. Refer to the portTestShow
help page for more information.
If there is a port type change during portTest execution, the test continues on a given port as long as it
can be supported and it is asked to do so. If a request was made to test all ports on a given switch,
portTest starts a new test appropriate for the new port type.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-ports itemlist Specifies the list of user ports to test. By default, all user ports in the switch are
tested. Refer to the itemList help page for more information.
-iteration count Specifies the number of times (or number of frames per port) to execute this test.
Specify 0 to run the test in timeout mode, or specify -1 to run the test indefinitely.
The default value is 20.
-userdelay time Specifies the delay between frames sent by portTest, in milliseconds. The default
value is 10 milliseconds.
-timeout time Specifies the number of seconds to run the test. Setting the iteration to 0 puts the
portTest process into timeout mode. The default value is 0.
-pattern pattern Specifies the pattern of the test packet payload. The pattern is selected from a set
of twenty predefined pattern types. Use the dataTypeShow command to view the
patterns supported with portTest. For each pattern, the datTypeShow command
displays the name, the pattern type number, and an example. Specify the pattern
by its type number. If pattern is not specified, it defaults to RANDOM (type=11)
-patsize size Specifies the size of the pattern. The default pattern size is 1024 bytes. The range
is 4 to 2048 bytes.
-seed seed Specifies the seed value to be used with the pattern. The default seed value is
0xaa.
-listtype porttype Specifies the type of ports on which to run portTest. Valid values for porttype
include the following:
-1 All ports (default).
-2 All L_Ports.
-3 All F_Ports.
-4 All E_Ports.

portthconfig --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure thresholds for Fabric Watch event monitoring for all ports of a specified
type and to display the configuration and current port status in real time. In addition to the areas
traditionally monitored by Fabric Watch, this command supports monitoring Class 3 discard frames on all
ports of a specified type. If frame discard errors or any other configured areas exceed the currently
effective threshold settings, the Fabric Watch daemon can take one or more of the following actions:
•Send an SNMP message.
•Log a RASlog message.
•Send an E-mail alert.
•Locks the port log.
•Fence the port if port fencing is enabled (not applicable to E_Ports). Refer to portFencing help for
more information.
Class 3 frames may be discarded on a port because of timeout, destination unreachable, or other
reasons. This command only monitors Class 3 frames that are discarded because of timeout, and is
applicable only to Brocade 8 G platforms.
The portThConfig follows a transaction model. When you configure thresholds and actions with the
--set option, the changes are saved persistently to nonvolatile storage, but the changes do not become
effective until you execute portThConfig --apply. The --apply option allows you to toggle between
default settings and your own saved custom configuration and to apply actions and thresholds
separately. You may choose to use default thresholds together with a customized subset of available
actions, or you may modify some of the thresholds and use the default actions. Use the -nosave option
to save the configuration nonpersistently, and use --cancel to remove a nonpersistent configuration.
This command configures thresholds per port_type and the configuration is applied to all ports of the
specified type. Configurable ports include E_Ports, optical F_Ports, copper F_Ports, physical ports, and
Virtual E_Ports (VE_Ports).

This command requires a Fabric Watch license.
For more information on port threshold configuration procedures, including default values for specific
area high/low thresholds, refer to the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
port_type Specifies the port type for which to configure or display Fabric Watch settings.
This operand is optional with the --show option. With all configuration options it is
required. Valid port types include one of the following:
e-port Configures or displays all E_Ports (not supported in Access Gateway mode).
fop-port Configures or displays all optical F_Ports.
fcu-port Configures or displays all copper F_Ports. This operand is supported only on
embedded platforms and only on copper ports.
port Configures or displays all physical ports.
ve-port Configures or displays all VE_Ports. Only a subset of areas can be configured for
this port type. When setting VE_Port thresholds for the packet loss area
(PKTLOSS), the threshold value accepts up to two decimal points, for example,
-value 0.60. The VE_Port type is not supported in Access Gateway mode.
-area area Specifies the area monitored by the Fabric Watch daemon. This operand is
optional with the --show option. With all configuration options it is required.
The following areas are valid when configuring or displaying configuration settings
on E_Ports, optical F_Ports, copper F_Ports, and physical ports. Area values are
not case-sensitive.
CRC Cyclic redundancy check error
ITW Invalid transmission word
C3TX_TO Class 3 transmit frames discarded due to timeout.

--set Configures the Fabric Watch thresholds for monitoring a specified area for all
ports of a specified port type. When configuring a threshold, you must specify a
port type and area. The following operands are optional and valid only with the
--set option. Defaults are used unless you configure custom settings. Defaults
parameters vary depending on the area and platform. Refer to the Fabric Watch
Administrator's Guide for specific details.
-timebase time_base
Specifies the time interval between two samples to be compared. Valid intervals
include the following:
day Samples are compared once a day.
hour Samples are compared once every hour.
minute Samples are compared once every minute.
-highthreshold -value value
Specifies the high threshold value for triggering a specified alert action. To change
the default value, provide an integer value.
-lowthreshold -value value
Specifies the low threshold for triggering a specified alert action. To change the
default value, provide an integer value.
-trigger above | below
Specifies the actions for in range port behavior. In range is defined as the space
above the low threshold and below the high threshold.
-action actions Specifies the actions triggered by a configured event condition. Valid values
include one or more of the following actions. If more than one action is specified,
the actions must be separated by commas.To change the existing configuration of
actions, you must first issue the command with the none option to reset the
existing configuration, and then reissue the command with the new configuration
of actions.
raslog Event triggers a RASlog message.
snmp Event triggers an SNMP trap.

email Event triggers an e-mail.
portlog Locks the port log. Following an event, the port log locks to retain information
about an event, preventing the information from being overwritten as the log
becomes full.
none Event triggers no action.
-buffer value Specifies the buffer value for in range behavior. A buffer defines a zone within
which event criteria are met, rather than a single threshold value. This operand is
valid only with the -trigger options.
-nosave Prevents the configuration changes from being saved persistently. This option
allows you to make and view changes without overwriting the saved configuration.
When you use --set with the -nosave option and the switch reboots your changes
will be lost.
--apply Applies the custom or default configuration for thresholds, actions, or both. This
command allows you to toggle between custom and default settings. The
specified configuration takes effect upon execution of this command. When you
select custom, the saved configuration becomes effective. You must specify a port
type and area when applying a configuration.
--cancel Cancels a nonpersistent custom configuration. This command effectively undoes
the -nosave operation without reboot. You must specify a port type and area type
with this command. Thresholds and alarm levels are optional with this command;
if omitted, all nonpersistent configurations for the specified port type and area type
are canceled.
--show Displays the threshold configuration or run-time status for all configured port types
and areas. You can optionally specify a port type to display the threshold for ports
of that type only. The display includes the port persistence time value in seconds,
which is set by the fwSet command. Specify an area to display the area-specific
configuration only. When issued without operands, this command displays Fabric
Watch thresholds for all classes and areas.
-current Displays current values for a specified port type and area, as registered by Fabric
Watch, or for all port types and areas. The output includes PortType, Area, Port
number, Circuit ID (for the Brocade 7800 and FS8-24 only), Value, State, and
Monitoring State (pause or continue). The State field reports whether the current
value is above, in range, or below (info) the configured threshold.
The following operands are optional with the --apply, --cancel, and --show
options; if omitted, the default thresholds are used.
-thresh_level def | cust
Configures or displays default or custom threshold configuration settings.
-action_level def | cust
Configures or displays default or custom configuration settings.

portTrunkArea
Assigns or removes a trunk area (TA) from a port or port trunk group; displays masterless F_Port
trunking configuration.
SYNOPSIS porttrunkarea --enable [slot/]port1[-port2] -index port_index
porttrunkarea --disable [slot/]port1[-port2]
porttrunkarea --disable all
porttrunkarea --show disabled | enabled | trunk | all
porttrunkarea --show slot/port1[-port2]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to assign a static trunk area (TA) on a port or port trunk group, to remove a TA from a
port or group of ports in a trunk, and to display masterless F_Port trunking information. The TA is
identified by the port index number displayed in the output of the switchShow command.
Masterless F_Port trunking interoperates between the Access Gateway (AG) and Condor-based
platforms. It is designed to (1) prevent reassignments of virtual addresses when F_Ports come back
online after going offline and (2) to increase N_Port bandwidth.
Assigning a TA to a port or trunk group enables F_Port masterless trunking on that port or trunk group.
When a TA is assigned to a port or trunk group, the ports immediately acquires the TA as the area of their
process IDs (PID). Likewise, when a TA is removed from a port or trunk group, the ports reverts to the
default area as their PID.
Use the --show option to obtain configuration details including the following information.
Slot On enterprise-class platforms, displays the slot number.
Port Displays the port number.
Type Displays online masterless trunked F_Port or EX_Port if applicable. Otherwise
displays --.
State Displays Trunk Master, Slave, or --.
Master Displays the master port of the trunk group.
TA On standalone switches, displays the user assigned TA number.
DA On standalone switches, displays the default port area. The default area can be a
port swapped area.
TI On enterprise-class platforms, displays the user-assigned TA port index.
DI On enterprise-class platforms, displays the default port index. The default port
index can be a port swapped area.
Fabric OS Command Reference 933

portTrunkArea 2
The --show trunk option displays the following information:
Trunk Index Displays the trunk index.
ptA->ptB ptA indicates the local user port; ptB indicates the remote user port.
sp Port speed in Gbps.
Bandwidth The bandwidth (Rx, Tx, and the combined total for Tx+Rx) of the trunk group.
Values are displayed as either bits per second (Bps), kilobits per second (Kbps),
megabits per second (Mbps), or gigabits per second (Gbps), rounded down to the
next integer.
Throughput Displays the throughput (Rx, Tx, and the combined total for Tx+Rx) of the trunk
group. Results are displayed for the previous second. Values are displayed as
either bits per second (Bps), kilobits per second (kbps), megabits per second
(Mbps), or gigabits per second (Gbps), rounded down to the next integer.
%Displays the percentage of link utilization (Rx, Tx, and the combined total for
Tx+Rx) . Even when the link utilization is 100% , the throughput value will be
lesser than the bandwidth value, due to the 8b/10b encoding and the control
words transmitted. For example, the throughput for an 8 Gbps link at 100%
utilization would be approximately 6.8 Gbps.
deskew The time difference for traffic to travel over each F_Port trunk as compared to the
F_Port trunk with the shortest travel time in the group. The value is expressed in
nanoseconds divided by 10. The firmware automatically sets the minimum
deskew value of the shortest F_Port trunk travel time to 15.
Master Identifies the master port of the trunk group.
Execution of this command is subject to the following restrictions:
•Only F_Port trunk ports are allowed to be part of a TA. E/F/L/EX_Port will be persistently disabled.
Private L_Ports remain online but will not run traffic.
•Only one trunk master per TA is permitted. The second trunk master is persistently disabled.
•The entire TA trunk group shares the same port WWN.
•The port must be disabled before a TA can be assigned to a port or removed from a trunk group.
•There is one port whose Default Area is the same as its Trunk Area. You cannot remove that port
from the trunk group unless The TA is removed from all ports in the trunk group.
•You must enable trunking on all ports to be included in a TA before you can create a TA. Use
portCfgTrunkPort or switchCfgTrunk to enable Trunking on a port or on all ports of a switch.
•N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) support is provided for up to 255 devices per TA. Note that this
decreases the number of devices available per port, because all participating ports share the same
area.
•F_Port trunking is only supported in CORE PID formats.
•Certain port configuration features are not supported within a TA and the command fails if one of
these features is enabled on a port within the trunk group. These features include FastWrite, Port
Swapping, Port Mirroring, Long Distance, Interchassis links (ICL), and FICON.
•Ports from different Admin Domains are not allowed to join the same Trunk Area group.

•Ports included in a TA share the same port index. The original port index may be removed in the
process. This means that D, I zones referring to these indices are no longer part of the switch. For
details and workarounds, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
•Device Connection Control (DCC) Policy must be removed from ports prior to creating a TA. You can
re-enable DCC policy after creating the TA.
•You cannot assign a TA while AG mode is enabled.
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.
Masterless F_Port trunking requires an ISL Trunking license.
OPERANDS This command supports the following operands:
slot On enterprise-class platforms, specifies the slot number, followed by a slash (/).
port1[-port2]Specifies a single port or a port range, relative to its slot on bladed systems. For
example, 9/8-15 on an enterprise-class platform indicates slot 9, ports 8 to 15.
Port ranges should fall in the octet (8 port) trunk range starting from port 0 on a
switch or blade.
--enable Creates a TA assigned to the specified ports. Use this option with one of the
following operands:
-area area_number
On single processor switches, specifies the port area number for the static TA to
be created. The TA must fall within the 8 port trunk group starting from port 0 on a
switch or blade. The TA must be a default area of an existing port in a given port
group. However, you may add ports to the trunk group even when a trunk group
has already been assigned by using the same area of the octet trunk group. Use
switchShow for a list of valid port area or index numbers.
-index port_indexOn enterprise-class platforms, specifies the port index for the static TA to be
created. The port index must fall within the 8 port trunk group starting from port 0
on a switch or blade. The TA must be a default index of an existing port in a given
port group. However, you may add ports to the trunk group even when a trunk
group has already been assigned by using the same index of the octet trunk
group. Use switchShow for a list of valid port indexes.
--disable Removes specified ports from a TA. If a port with the same default area as the TA
assigned for the trunk group is removed, all ports in the trunk group must be
explicitly specified for removal.
all Optionally removes all TA assigned ports on the switch. This option disables
masterless F_Port trunking on all ports. All TA assigned ports must be disabled for
this option to succeed.
--show Displays masterless F_Port trunking information. When using this option, specify
one of the following operands:
[slot/]/port1[-port2]Displays configuration for a specified port or port range.
Fabric OS Command Reference 935
53-1003108-01
portTrunkArea 2
trunk Displays configuration details for the port trunk group, including user port,
neighboring user port, and master port properties.

powerOffListSet
2
powerOffListSet
Sets the order in which slots are powered off.
SYNOPSIS powerofflistset
DESCRIPTION Use this command to modify the order in which slots are powered off. This command displays the current
order, and then prompts you interactively to confirm or modify the power-off position for each slot.
Whenever a power supply goes out of service or a field-replaceable unit (FRU) is inserted, the system's
available power is compared to the system's required power to determine if there is enough power to
operate. If less than the required power is available, the power-off list is processed, until there is
sufficient power for the system to operate.
If the system's power supply drops abruptly to insufficient levels, the power-off list cannot be processed.
The sudden lack of power causes the CP board processors to cease executing the firmware.
For example, if only one power supply is available to power a fully loaded system and the power supply
is removed from the chassis, all system operations terminate immediately, and the power-off list cannot
be processed. However, if the system is running on two power supplies (this is not recommended) and
one goes into a predicted fail state (in which the power supply is still supplying power), the power-off list
is processed as described.
The power-off list does not affect the order, in which slots are powered on. On power-on or when an
additional power supply is added, slots are processed sequentially, starting at slot 1.
NOTES CP blade slots are not included in the power-off list.
Command output may vary depending on the hardware platform.
Some FRUs may use significant power, but cannot be powered off by the software. For example a
missing blower FRU may change the power computation enough to affect how many slot blades can be
powered up.
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.

powerOffListShow
Displays the order in which slots are powered off.
SYNOPSIS powerofflistshow
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the order in which the physical slots are powered off.
Whenever a power supply goes out of service or a field-replaceable unit (FRU) is inserted, the system's
available power is compared to the system's required power to determine if there is enough power to
operate. If less than the required power is available, the power-off list is processed, until there is
sufficient power for the system to operate.
The following rules apply when the power-off list is processed:
•If a power supply starts predicting failure, so that there will not be enough power for all blades, the
powered-up port blades are powered down in the order in which they appear on the power-off list.
•If you replace a failed power supply, or you remedy an existing power-supply shortage by inserting a
new power supply, the previously powered-down blades are powered up in the reverse order of the
power-on list. Note that this is different from the order in which the blades in the system usually
come up. The original powering up of blades does not consult the power-off-list; it simply proceeds
from the lower-numbered slots to the higher-numbered slots.
•If you add a new blade to the chassis, and there is not enough power available to operate the
additional hardware (because you may only have one power supply) the newly inserted blade will be
denied power and the existing powered-on blades stay powered on.
•If the system's power supply drops abruptly to insufficient levels, the power-off list cannot be
processed. The sudden lack of power causes the CP board processors to cease executing the
firmware. For example, if only two power supplies are available to power a fully loaded chassis that
requires at least two power supplies, and one power supply is removed from the chassis, all system
operations terminate immediately, and the power-off list cannot be processed. However, if the
system is running on two power supplies (this is not recommended in this case) and one goes into a
predicted fail state (in which the power supply is still supplying power), the power-off list is processed
as described.
NOTES Command output may vary depending on the hardware platform.
Control processor (CP) blades are not included in the power-off list.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in

reboot
2
reboot
Reboots the control processor (CP).
SYNOPSIS reboot [-f]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to perform a "cold reboot" (power off/restart) of the control processor. This operation
may be disruptive, and the command prompts for confirmation before executing. When you reboot a
switch connected to a fabric, all traffic to and from that switch stops. All Fibre Channel ports on that
switch including E_Ports become inactive until the switch comes back online.
The behavior of this command depends on the platform:
•When issued on a standalone (single-processor) switch, this command performs a cold reboot of the
switch.
•When issued on an enterprise-class platform (Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, or 48000) with two CPs
(active and standby), the following rules apply:
-When the Standby CP reboots, it goes down and there is no failover because there is no traffic
on that switch. When the Standby CP comes up again, it is temporarily no longer in sync with
the Active CP.
-When the Active CP reboots, it fails over to the Standby CP. The Standby CP becomes the new
Active CP and traffic is disrupted.
-When HA is in sync, and reboot -f is issued on the Active CP of a director, the Standby CP
takes over as the active CP without traffic disruption. If HA is not in sync, and reboot -f is issued
on the Active CP, the Standby CP takes over as the Active CP and traffic is disrupted.
-When HA is disabled and reboot or reboot -f is issued on the Active CP, both the Active and
Standby CPs reboot with the original mastership retained. The original Active CP remains the
Active CP after the reboot, and the original Standby CP remains the Standby CP. After the
reboot, HA is enabled.
-When HA is disabled and reboot or reboot -f is issued on the Standby CP, the Standby CP
reboots without prompting. It boots up with the default switch only, even if the Active CP has
multiple logical switches configured. After the Standby CP boots up, HA is still disabled.
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.
OPERANDS -f Causes the CP to fail over to the Standby CP without affecting any of the Fibre
Channel Ports. Note that the recommended way to force a failover without
affecting any Fibre Channel ports is to issue the haFailover command.
EXAMPLES To reboot a standalone switch with a single CP:
switch:admin> reboot
Warning: This command would cause the switch to reboot
and result in traffic disruption.

-perm permission [-desc description
roleconfig --delete role_name [-force]
roleconfig --copy new_role -role source_role
roleconfig --show role_name | -all [default]
roleconfig --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to create or modify user-defined roles, to define permissions for these roles based on
role-based access control (RBAC) permissions and meta-object format (MOF) classes, and to display
the configured roles. Two types of access control restriction exist in Fabric OS:
•Restriction by MOF class: A MOF class groups similar Fabric OS commands into feature sets that
share the same access permissions. By assigning one or more MOF classes to a role, the account
with the specified role can access all the commands included in these classes. For example, the
predefined role ZoneAdmin can access the commands under the MOF class Zoning, but not those
under the UserManagement class. With the roleConfig command you could define a special admin
role called myzonesec and assign access to this role for both the zoning and the userManagement
class.
•Restriction by RBAC access level: You can further restrict access by setting RBAC one of the
following access levels for the role. The RBAC permissions are set per class.
- O = observe
-OM = observe-modify
-N = none/not available
Use the --show option to display information about user-defined roles and default roles. Use the
classConfig command to display information about MOF classes and associated commands. Note that
you cannot modify the predefined Fabric OS roles.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--add Creates a role with the specified name and optional attributes. The new role is
created with two default RBAC classes, "localuserenvironment" and "nocheck"
and has the default permissions observe and modify ("OM). A configuration
download will always reset the permissions of these two default classes to "OM."
--change Modifies an existing user-defined role.

name must be at least 4 characters long and cannot exceed 16 characters. The
maximum number of user-defined roles allowed on a chassis is 256. This operand
is required.
The following operands are optional with --add and --change:
-desc description Specifies a description for the role of up to 63 characters. Colons (:) are not
permitted.
-class class_list Specifies one or more MOF classes to which the role should have access.
Classes must be separated by commas. The requested class permissions cannot
be higher than those of the Fabric OS Admin role.
-perm permissions
Specifies the RBAC permissions for the role. The RBAC permissions restrict what
the user can do with the commands included in the classes to which the role has
access. Valid RBAC permissions include the following:
OM Observe and modify.
OObserve only.
NNo access. This parameter is not valid with the --add option.
--delete role_name [-force]
Deletes the specified user-defined role. This command prompts for confirmation
unless you use the -force option. The role must exist in the database and the role
cannot currently be assigned to a user account. You cannot delete any of the
predefined Fabric OS roles.
--copy Clones an existing user-defined role by copying an existing role to a new role
name. The new role inherits all the classes and permissions of the source role.
You can further modify the newly created role. The following operands are
required:
new_role The name for the new role must be unique; it is case-insensitive and can contain
only alpha characters. The role name must be at least 4 characters long and
cannot exceed 16 characters.
-role source_role Specified the name of the exiting role to be copied.

SYNOPSIS rtlogtrace --enable
rtlogtrace --disable
rtlogtrace --show
rtlogtrace --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable real-time trace logging and to indicate whether the feature is
enabled or disabled.
The RTLog facility captures the most recent hardware events and low-level software interrupts on
Brocade DCX platforms in real time. When enabled, the RTLog traces are collected as part of the
supportSave utility. The RTLog generates no console output. The RTLog is enabled by default and
persistent across reboots. The rtLogTrace configuration is lost after a power cycle.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--enable Enables the RTLog on the active Control Processor (CP). The RTLog becomes
effective on the standby CP after a failover or a reboot of the active CP.
--disable Disables the RTLog.
--show Displays the current status of the RTLog as enabled or disabled.
--help Displays the command usage.

secActiveSize
2
secActiveSize
Displays the size of the active security database.
SYNOPSIS secactivesize
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the size of the active security database. The command also displays the
maximum database size.
For switches running Fabric OS v6.2.0 and later, the maximum security database size is 1 megabyte per
logical switch. With up to eight partitions, the total database size on a chassis can be up to 8 megabytes.
On switches that are not Virtual Fabric-capable, the security database is limited to 1 megabyte. For
switches running earlier versions of Fabric OS (up to v5.3.0), the maximum size is 256 Kilobytes.
NOTES The effective security DB size is the lowest supported by the fabric. The presence of a Standby CP that
runs an earlier version of the operating system will drop the effective security DB size on an Active CP
that runs Fabric OS v6.2.0.
The Brocade 200E is unable to handle the maximum DB size supported in v6.2.0 and issues a compact
flash warning when the active security database is close to the 1 MB limit.
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

secAuthSecret 2
secAuthSecret
Manages the DH-CHAP shared secret key information.
SYNOPSIS secauthsecret --show
secauthsecret --set
secauthsecret --remove value | --all
DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage the DH-CHAP shared secret key database used for authentication. This
command displays, sets, and removes shared secret key information from the database or deletes the
entire database. If you are performing set or remove operations, when the command is completed new
data is saved persistently. New data is effective with the next authentication request. The configuration
applies to a switch instance only.
Port level authentication security must be enabled before encryption configuration can be enabled.
Pre-shared secret keys should be configured on both ends of the ISL to perform authentication. For
encrypted ports, an authentication key of 32 characters is recommended. Spaces are not allowed.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--show Lists the WWNs for which a shared secret is configured. In Access Gateway
mode, since you cannot configure using domain ID or switchname, these fields
will be displayed as -1 and Unknown respectively.
--set Sets shared secrets. You can set shared secrets for F_Port, N_Port in Access
Gateway mode and E, EX_Port and F_Port on Fabric OS. This command is
interactive. In Access Gateway mode, you can specify only a WWN. In Fabric OS,
you can specify a WWN or switchname or domain ID. Spaces are not allowed.
--remove [wwn | domain | swname]
Removes the specified WWN entry from the database. If a domain name is
specified, it is converted to a WWN and then the entry is removed. If no option is
specified, the command is interactive. In Access Gateway mode, you can specify
only a WWN. In Fabric OS, you can specify a WWN or switchname or domain ID.
--remove --all Deletes the entire secret key database.
EXAMPLES To list the shared secret WWN:

To set the shared secret:
switch:admin> secAuthSecret --set
This command sets up secret keys for the DH-CHAP
authentication. The minimum length of a secret key
is 8 characters and maximum 40 characters. Setting
up secret keys does not initiate DH-CHAP
authentication. If switch is configured to do DH-CHAP,
it is performed whenever a port or a switch is enabled.
Warning: Please use a secure channel for setting secrets.
Using an insecure channel is not safe and may compromise
secrets.
Following inputs should be specified for each entry.
1. WWN for which secret is being set up.
2. Peer secret: The secret of the peer that
authenticates to peer.
3. Local secret: The local secret that authenticates peer.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage third-party certificates on a switch, including Public Key Infrastructure
(PKI) based certificates, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) certificates, and FCAP
certificates. This command also imports or exports Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) from or to a
remote host. This command supports IPV4 and IPV6 addresses.
Use this command to do the following:
•Generate a public/private key pair.
•Delete a public/private key pair.
•Generate a CSR.
•Delete a CSR.
•List existing certificates on a switch.
•Display the contents of a certificate or CSR.
•Delete a specified certificate.

•Import or export a certificate.
•Configure a SSL certificate file name.
•Enable secure protocols.
This command takes an action and associated arguments. If only an action is specified, this command
prompts interactively for input values of the associated arguments. The command runs noninteractively
when the arguments associated with a given action are specified on the command line. When invoked
without operands, this command displays the usage.
This command is also supported in Access Gateway mode, for FCAP authentication between AG and
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.
Before you import a certificate from Windows system, convert the certificate to a Unix file format with the
dos2unix utility.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
genkey Generates a public/private key pair. This is the first step in setting up a third-party
certificate. The following operands are optional; when omitted, the command
prompts interactively for input values to these operands.
-keysize 1024 | 2048
Specifies the size of the key. Valid values are 1024 or 2048 bits. The greater the
value, the more secure is the connection; however, performance degrades with
size. The keys are generated only after all existing CSRs and certificates have
been deleted.
-nowarn Specifies that no warning is given when overwriting or deleting data. If this
operand is omitted, the command prompts for confirmation before existing CSRs
and certificates are deleted.
delkey Deletes all public/private key pairs with the exception of Encryption-related
certificates and key pairs. This command prompts for confirmation unless
-nowarn is specified.
-nowarn Executes the delete operation without confirmation.
-all Deletes all public/private key pairs including Encryption-related certificates and
key pairs.
gencsr Generates a new CSR for the switch. This is the second step in setting up a
third-party certificate. The following operands are optional; if omitted, the
command prompts for answers to a series of questions. If only one or a few
operands are specified. the command prompts for input to the remaining
questions. When all questions are answered, a CSR is generated and placed in a
file named ip_address.csr, where ip_address is the IP address of the switch.
-country country code
Specifies the country. Provide a two-letter country code, for example, US.
-state state Specifies the state. Provide the full name, for example, California. If the state
consists of multiple words, it must be enclosed in double quotes.
Fabric OS Command Reference 961
53-1003108-01
secCertUtil 2
-locality locality Specifies the city. Provide the full name, for example, "San Jose". If the locality
consists of multiple words, it must be enclosed in double quotes.
-org organization Specifies the organization. Provide the full name, for example, Brocade. If the
organization consists of multiple words, it must be enclosed in double quotes.
-orgunit organization unit
Specifies the organizational unit, for example, your department name. If the
organizational unit consists of multiple words, it must be enclosed in double
quotes.
-cn common name
Specifies the common name. Provide a fully qualified Domain Name, or IP
address.
showcsr Displays the content of the CSR on the switch without page breaks. Use the pipe
operator followed by the "more" option to display the content one page at a time.
delcsr [-nowarn]Deletes the CSR. This command prompts for confirmation before deleting the
CSR unless -nowarn is specified.
generate Generates the certificate.
-fcapall Generates FCAP switch CSR, passphrase, and key.
-commoncertall Generate the CSR and key file with key size of 1024 or 2048 for the common
certificate.
-keysize 1024 | 2048
Specifies the size of the key. Valid values are 1024 or 2048. bits. The greater
the value, the more secure is the connection; however, performance
degrades with size.
delete Deletes the specified certificate. Specify one of the following operands:
-ldapcacert Deletes all LDAP CA certificates. You must specify a file name when deleting the
LDAP CA certificates. All LDAP certificates are concatenated in a single file. Use
show -ldapcacert to list that file name on the switch. You cannot delete an
individual certificate.
-fcapcacert Deletes the FCAP CA certificate.
-fcapswcert Deletes the FCAP SW certificate.
-fcapall Deletes all FCAP objects including the switch CSR, keys, pass phrase, Root CA
certificate, and switch certificate.

secDefineSize 2
secDefineSize
Displays the size of the defined security database.
SYNOPSIS secdefinesize
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the size of the defined security database. The command also displays the
maximum database size.
For switches running Fabric OS v6.2.0 and later, the maximum security database size is 1 Megabyte per
logical switch. With up to eight partitions, the total database size on a chassis can be up to 8 Megabytes.
On switches that are not Virtual Fabric-capable, the security database is limited to 1 Megabyte. For
switches running earlier versions of Fabric OS (up to v5.3.0), the maximum size is 256 Kilobytes.
The effective security DB size is the lowest supported by the fabric. The presence of a Standby CP that
runs an earlier version of the operating system drops the effective security DB size on an Active CP that
runs Fabric OS v6.2.0 or later.
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.

Security Policy Set first, and then activates it. If there are no changes, but the Defined Security Policy Set
differs from the Active Security Policy Set, then the Defined Security Policy Set is activated. If there are
no changes and the Defined Security Policy Set is the same as the Active Security Policy Set, then
nothing is done.
After activation the defined policy set becomes the Active Policy Set.
Use secPolicyShow to display the members of an existing policy in the Active or Defined Security Policy
Sets.
NOTES The behavior of this command is the same for tolerant and strict fabric-wide consistency.
When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the Primary FCS switch.
Any modifications to the SCC, DCC, and FCC DB are saved and activated. When secPolicyActivate is
issued after the secPolicySave command, it might fail.
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.

secPolicyAdd 2
secPolicyAdd
Adds members to an existing security policy.
SYNOPSIS secpolicyadd "name","member[;member...]" [-legacy]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to add one or more members to an existing access policy.
Each policy corresponds to a management method. The list of members of a policy acts as an access
control list for that management method. Before a policy is created, there is no enforcement for that
management method; all access is granted. After a policy has been created and a member has been
added to the policy, that policy becomes closed to all access except from included members. If all
members are then deleted from the policy, all access is denied for that management method (the
DCC_POLICY is an exception).
Attempting to add a member to a policy that already is a member causes this command to fail.
In a Virtual Fabric Environment, when you create a DCC lockdown policy on a logical switch, the DCC
policy is created for each port in the chassis, even though the ports are not currently present in the local
logical switch. This is done to provision the DCC policy for the ports that may be moved later. If a policy
seems stale at any point, use secPolicyDelete to remove all stale DCC policies.
Fabric-wide consistency policies can be configured on per logical switch basis, which applies the FCS
policy to the corresponding fabric connecting to the logical switch. Automatic policy distribution for DCC,
SCC and FCS remains unchanged in Fabric OS v6.2.0 and can be configured on a per logical switch
basis.
On switches running Fabric OS v7.1.0 or later, all DCC and SCC security policy members are sorted
based on their world wide names (WWNs) in order to avoid a segmentation of ports. This is not the case
for switches running earlier firmware versions; on these switches, security member lists are unsorted.
When a switch with an unsorted security policy member list tries to join a switch that runs Fabric OS
v7.1.0 or later and is configured with an ordered security policy list, port segmentation occurs because of
mismatching security policy lists. To prevent this from happening, use the -legacy option to add security
policy members in a manner that matches the order of security policy members in Fabric OS v7.0.0 and
earlier.
NOTES When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the Primary FCS switch. The
secpolicyadd command can be issued on all switches for SCC and DCC policies as long as fabric-wide
consistency policy is not set for the particular policy.
Do not add the WWNs of front or translate (xlate) domains to the FCS policy if the edge fabric is
connected to an FC Router.
Backup FCS switches typically cannot modify the policy. However, if the Primary FCS switch in the policy
list is not reachable, then a backup FCS switch is allowed to modify the policy. If all the reachable backup
FCS switches are running pre-v5.3.0 versions of Fabric OS, a non-FCS v5.3.0 switch is allowed to
modify the policy so that a new switch can be added to the policy.
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.

secPolicyAdd
2
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
"name"Specify the name of an existing policy to which you want to add members. Valid
values for this operand include the following:
•DCC_POLICY_nnn
•FCS_POLICY
•SCC_POLICY
The specified policy name must be capitalized.
The DCC_POLICY_nnn name has the common prefix DCC_POLICY_ followed by
a string of user-defined characters. These characters do not have to be
capitalized like regular policy names, but they are case-sensitive.
"member"Specify a list of one or more member switches to be included in the security policy.
The list must be enclosed in quotation marks; members must be separated by
semicolons. Depending on the policy type, members are specified as follows.
FCS_POLICY or SCC_POLICY Members
This policy type requires member IDs to be specified as WWN strings, Domains,
or switch names. If Domain IDs or switch names are used, the switches
associated must be present in the fabric or the command fails.
DCC_POLICY Members
The DCC_POLICY_nnn is a list of device port names associated with a specific
switch and port index combination. An empty DCC_POLICY does not stop access
to the switch. The device port name is specified by its port WWN string. The
switch and port index combination must be in the switch port format, where switch
can be specified as a WWN, a domain, or a switch name, and port is specified by
port numbers separated by commas and enclosed in either brackets or
parentheses; for example, (2, 4, 6). Ports enclosed in brackets include the devices
currently attached to those ports.
The following examples illustrate several ways to specify the port values:
(1-6) Selects ports 1 through 6.
(*) Selects all ports on the switch.
[3, 9] Selects ports 3 and 9 and all devices attached to those ports.
[1-3, 5] Selects ports 1 through 3 and 5 and all devices attached to those ports.
[*] Selects all ports on the switch and devices currently attached to those ports.
-legacy Adds a security policy with the desired order.
EXAMPLES To add a member to the SCC_POLICY using the device WWN:
primaryfcs:admin> secpolicyadd "SCC_POLICY", \
"12:24:45:10:0a:67:00:40"
Member(s) have been added to SCC_POLICY.
Fabric OS Command Reference 977

secPolicyCreate
Creates a new security policy.
SYNOPSIS secpolicycreate "name" [, "member[;member...]"] [-legacy]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to create a new policy and to edit Switch Connection Control (SCC), Device
Connection Control (DCC), and Fabric Configuration Server (FCS) policies on the local switch. All
policies can be created only once, except for the DCC_POLICY_nnn. Each DCC_POLICY_nnn must
have a unique name. This command can be issued on all switches in the current fabric for SCC and DCC
policies if they are not intended to be fabric-wide.
Adding members while creating a policy is optional. You can add members to a policy later, using the
secPolicyAdd command.
Each policy corresponds to a management method. The list of members of a policy acts as an access
control list for that management method. Before a policy is created, there is no enforcement for that
management method, which is all access is granted. After a policy is created and a member is added to
the policy, that policy is closed to all access except to included members. If all members are then deleted
from the policy, all access is denied for that management access method.
All newly created policies are saved on the local switch only, unless the switch has a fabric-wide
consistency policy for that policy.
In a Virtual Fabric environment, when you create a DCC lockdown policy on a logical switch, the DCC
policy is created for each port in the chassis, even though the ports are not currently present in the local
logical switch. This is done to provision the DCC policy for the ports that may be moved later. If a policy
seems stale at any point, use the secPolicyDelete command to remove all stale DCC policies.
Fabric wide consistency policies can be configured on a logical switch basis, which applies the FCS
policy to the corresponding fabric connecting to the logical switch. Automatic policy distribution behavior
for DCC, SCC and FCS remains unchanged in Fabric OS v6.2.0 or later and can be configured on a
logical switch basis.
On switches running Fabric OS v7.1.0 or later, all DCC and SCC security policy members are sorted
based on their world wide names (WWNs) in order to avoid a segmentation of ports. This is not the case
for switches running earlier firmware versions; on these switches, security member lists are unsorted.
When a switch with an unsorted security policy member list tries to join a switch that runs Fabric OS
v7.1.0 or later and is configured with an ordered security policy list, port segmentation occurs because of
mismatching security policy lists. To prevent this from happening, use the -legacy option to create
security policy members in a manner that matches the order of security policy members in Fabric OS
v7.0.0 and earlier.
NOTES When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the Primary FCS switch.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
"name"Specify the name of the policy you want to create. Valid values for this operand
include the following:
•DCC_POLICY_nnn
•SCC_POLICY
•FCS_POLICY
Fabric OS Command Reference 979
53-1003108-01
secPolicyCreate 2
The specified policy name must be capitalized.
The DCC_POLICY_nnn name has the common prefix DCC_POLICY_ followed by
a string of user-defined characters. These characters do not have to be
capitalized like regular policy names. Valid values for DCC_POLICY_nnn are
user-defined alphanumeric or underscore characters. The maximum length is 30
characters, including the prefix DCC_POLICY_.
secpolicycreate DCC_POLICY "*" may be used to indicate DCC lockdown. This
command creates a unique policy for each port in the fabric locking it down to the
device connected or creating an empty policy to disallow any device to be
connected to it. This can be done only when there are no other DCC policies
defined on the switch. The switch must be in an enabled state for DCC lockdown
to succeed. On a disabled switch, executing secpolicycreate DCC_POLICY "*"
will not create any DCC policies.
"member"Specify one or more members to be included in the security policy. The member
list must be enclosed in double quotation marks and members separated by
semicolons. The member list must be separated from the name field by a comma
and a space. Depending on the policy type, members are specified as follows:
DCC_POLICY Members
The DCC_Policy_nnn is a list of devices associated with a specific switch and port
index combination. An empty DCC_POLICY does not stop access to the switch.
The device is specified by its port WWN. The switch and port combination must be
in the switch port format.
switch can be specified using a WWN, domain, or switch name.
port can be specified by port numbers separated by commas and enclosed in
either brackets or parentheses: for example, (2, 4, 6). Ports enclosed in brackets
include the devices currently attached to those ports.
The following examples illustrate several ways to specify the port values:
(1-6) Selects ports 1 through 6.
(*) Selects all ports on the switch.
[3, 9] Selects ports 3 and 9 and all devices attached to those ports.
[1-3, 5] Selects ports 1 through 3 and 5 and all devices attached to those ports.
[*] Selects all ports on the switch and devices currently attached to those ports.
SCC_POLICY and FCC_POLICY Members
This policy type requires member IDs to be specified as WWN strings, domains,
or switch names. If domain or switch names are used, the switches associated
must be present in the fabric or the command fails.
To add all switches in the current fabric as members of the policy, enter an
asterisk enclosed in quotation marks (*) as the member value. This feature cannot
be used by the other security commands.
-legacy Creates a security policy with desired order.

secPolicyDelete
Deletes an existing security policy.
SYNOPSIS secpolicydelete name
DESCRIPTION Use this command to delete an existing security policy from the defined security database. Run
secPolicyActivate to delete the policies from the active security policy list. Deleting a security policy
does not cause any traffic disruption.
Each policy corresponds to a management method. The list of members of a policy acts as an access
control list for that management method. Before a policy is created, there is no enforcement for that
management method; all access is granted. After a policy has been created and a member has been
added to the policy, that policy becomes closed to all access except from included members. If the policy
is deleted all access is granted.
NOTES When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the Primary FCS switch.
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.
OPERANDS The following operand is required:
"name"Specify the name of a security policy to delete. The policy name must be
capitalized. Quotation marks are optional. Once a security policy is deleted,
fabric-wide switch access through that method is unrestricted. Valid security policy
names include the following:
DCC_POLICY_nnn
Deletes the specified Device Connection Control (DCC) policy. The
DCC_POLICY_nnn name has the common prefix DCC_POLICY_ followed by a
string of user-defined characters. These characters do not have to be capitalized.
ALL_DCC_POLICY
Deletes all DCC policies from the defined policy list.
ALL_STALE_DCC_POLICY
Deletes all stale DCC policies from the defined policy list. DCC policies become
stale when the ports are removed from a logical switch.
SCC_POLICY Deletes the Switch Connection Control policy from the defined policy list.
FCS_POLICY Deletes the Fabric Configuration Server policy from the defined policy list.
EXAMPLES To delete an existing security policy:

secPolicyFCSMove
Moves a member in the FCS policy.
SYNOPSIS secpolicyfcsmove [from, to]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to move an FCS member from one position to another position in the FCS list. Only
one FCS can be moved at a time. The first FCS switch in the list that is also present in the fabric is the
Primary FCS.
NOTES If a backup FCS is moved to the first position, it becomes the primary FCS after activation.
An FCS policy must be enabled to execute this command, and the command must be issued from the
primary FCS switch.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
from Specify the position of the FCS switch you want to move.
to Specify the position to which you want to move the FCS switch.

secPolicyRemove 2
secPolicyRemove
Removes members from an existing security policy.
SYNOPSIS secpolicyremove "name" ,"member[;member...]"
DESCRIPTION Use this command to remove one or more members from an existing security policy. It is not possible to
remove all members from the FCS_POLICY; the local switch WWN cannot be deleted from the FCS
policy. In the case of SCC policy, if it is empty after removing all members, all access to the switch itself
would be disallowed.
NOTES If an FCS policy is enabled, this command must be issued from the primary FCS switch.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
"name"Specify the name of an existing policy you want to remove members from. This
operand is required. Valid values for this operand include the following:
•DCC_POLICY_nnn
•FCS_POLICY
•SCC_POLICY
The specified policy name must be capitalized.
The DCC_POLICY policy name has the common prefix DCC_POLICY_ followed
by a string of user-defined characters. These characters do not have to be
capitalized like regular policy names, but are case-sensitive.
"member"Specify a member or list of members to delete from the policy. The list must be
enclosed in quotation marks; members must be separated by semicolons. This
operand is required. Depending on the policy type, members can be specified
using IP address, WWN, domain, or switch name.
WWN Member Policy Types
The following policy types require members be specified by WWN address:
•FCS_POLICY
•SCC_POLICY
These policy types require member IDs be specified as WWN strings, domains, or
switch names. If domain or switch names are used, the switches associated must
be present in the fabric or the command fails.
DCC_POLICY Members
The DCC_Policy_nnn is a list of devices associated with a specific switch and port
combination. The device is specified with a WWN string. The switch and port
combination must be specified in the switch port format where switch can be
specified by switch WWN, domain, or switch name. The port parameter can be
specified by port number separated by commas, and enclosed in either brackets
or parentheses: for example, (2, 4, 6). Ports enclosed in brackets include the
devices currently attached to those ports.
The following examples illustrate several ways to specify the port values:
(1-6) Selects ports 1 through 6.

serDesTuneMode 2
serDesTuneMode
Configures and displays SerDes tuning values.
SYNOPSIS serdestunemode --set
serdestunemode --reset
serdestunemode --show
serdestunemode --autoenable
serdestunemode --autodisable
serdestunemode --autoreset
serdestunemode --autoshow
serdestunemode --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure and display SerDes tuning values on the Brocade FC8-16 blade and to
control tuning optimization of backend links for all Brocade FC8-xx blades.
When used with the --set,--reset and --show options, this command enables or disables the SerDes
tuning mode for the Brocade FC8-16 port blade and to display the configuration.
Enabling SerDes tuning mode for the Brocade FC8-16 port blade is indicated under the following
conditions:
•You have a Brocade FC8-16 blade installed in slot 2 or in slot 7 (or in both slots) in a DCX-4S
chassis with a CR4S-8 core blade.
•You notice increasing numbers of CRC errors on ports 1/11, 2/0, 2/1, 2/3, 2/4, 2/5, 2/8, 2/10, 6/58
and 7/1.
Enabling SerDes tuning mode change the SerDes values on the above-mentioned ports in slots 1, 2 and
7 along with their peer ports, provided the port blades are FC8-16s and the peer is a CR4S-8 core blade.
SerDes tuning mode changes take effect immediately and are saved persistently.
When used with the --autoenable, --autodisable, --autoreset and --autoshow options, this command
configures SerDes tuning optimization for backend SerDes errors. SerDes tuning optimization is
indicated when you receive RASLog errors of type C2-5825 indicating a CRC error with a good EOF.
Brocade highly recommends that you contact your service provider if you encounter such errors. If the
error appears to be an isolated incident, you may enable auto SerDes tuning for a short period of time
(24-48 hours) to see if this resolves the problem. Then disable the function to reduce the risk of resetting
register values unnecessarily if single occurrence errors are encountered. If the errors persist contact
your service provider.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--set Enables SerDes tuning mode and sets new SerDes values on FC8-16 blades in
slots 1, 2 and 7 and on peer ports in the CR4S-8 core blade.

setContext
2
setContext
Sets the logical switch context to a specified FID.
SYNOPSIS setcontext [FID | switchname]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set the logical switch context to a specified fabric ID (FID) or unique switch name.
The FID uniquely defines a partition as a logical switch. Use lscfg --show to display currently configured
partitions and their FIDs.
A logical switch context defines the boundaries within which a user can execute commands in a Virtual
Fabric-aware environment. In a Virtual Fabric-aware environment, all commands are context-specific.
When a user executes a switch-wide command, the command applies to the current logical switch
context.
On legacy platforms, or if a logical switch context is not set explicitly, switch commands apply to the
default logical switch context (FID 128). When the context is changed, switch-wide commands apply to
the new logical switch context.
You must have chassis permissions to access all logical switches in the chassis and to use the
setContext command to change the current context to any partition configured on the chassis. A user
without chassis permissions can change contexts only within the list of FIDs specified in the user's
access permissions. Refer to userConfig for more information.
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.
If a logical switch FID is deleted, users logged in to that switch are logged out.
OPERANDS This command has the following operand:
FID Specifies the fabric ID of the logical switch instance for which the context is set.
switchname Specifies the name of the logical switch for which the context is set.
EXAMPLES To change the logical switch context to FID 20:
switch:admin> setcontext 20
To change the logical switch context to switch_20:
switch:admin> setcontext switch_20

setDbg 2
setDbg
Sets the debug level of the specified module.
SYNOPSIS setdbg [module_name][level]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set the debug level of a specified module. Debug levels filter the display of debug
messages to the serial console. By default, no debug messages are displayed.
High debug level values can generate a large volume of messages, degrading the system response time.
The set of supported modules and their current debug levels are displayed by the command dbgShow.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
module_name Specify the name of the module for which you want to set the debug levels.
Module names are case-sensitive. If this operand is omitted an error message is
displayed.
level Specify the debug level for the specified module (0 to 9). A zero (0) value (default)
specifies that no messages are to display. Higher values cause more messages
from that module to display. If this operand is omitted an error message is
displayed.
EXAMPLES To set the debug level for a module named NS to value 3:
switch:admin> setdbg NS 3
switch:admin> dbgshow NS
Module NS, debug level = 3, verbose level = 0

sfpShow 2
sfpShow
Displays Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver information.
SYNOPSIS sfpshow
sfpshow [slot/]geport [ -f]
sfpshow -all
sfpshow -health
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display information about Serial Identification SFPs, also known as module
definition "4" SFPs. These SFPs provide extended information that describes the SFP capabilities,
interfaces, manufacturer, and other information.
Use this command without operands to display a summary of all SFPs in the switch. For each port, the
summary displays the SFP type and, for serial ID SFP, the vendor name and SFP, serial number, and
speed capability (in Gbps). Refer to switchShow for an explanation of the two-letter codes.
Use this command with a port number to display detailed information about the serial ID SFP in the
specified port. In this mode, this command displays values described in the "Gigabit Interface Converter"
spec by Sun Microsystems, et al. The detailed view also displays the total number of Fabric Watch state
transitions for each SFP and a time stamp of the last polling time. The power-on time is displayed for 16
Gbps SFPs and QSFPs only.
To configure the SFP state changes, use the fwFruCfg command. Use the -f option to refresh the SFP
information. This option is valid only when the spfShow command is issued for a specific port.
Use the -all operand to display detailed information for all available SFPs. On switches running Fabric
OS v7.0.0 or later, this view includes the power on time for the switch in years and hours.
For "smart" SFPs including mini-SFPs, this command displays additional fields, including module
temperature, voltage, received optical power, transmitted optical power (long wave only), laser diode
drive current, optional status/control register, alarm and warning flags, as well as high and low thresholds
programmed on the SFPs.
A "Can not read Serial Data!" message indicates that an SFP ID could not be detected on that location (it
could be a fixed port type, or an unsupported SFP type, or an interchassis link without a cable).
NOTES The sfpShow command does not reflect changes in the sfpShow output if any SFPs are replaced or
removed while a port or a switch is disabled.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to display, followed
by a slash (/)
port Specifies the number of the port for which to display the SFP information, relative
to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports. This
operand is optional; if omitted, this command displays a summary of all SFPs on
the switch.
1006 Fabric OS Command Reference

2
-f Refreshes the SFP information. This option is valid only when sfpShow is issued
for a specific port.
-all Displays detailed data for all available SFPs on the switch. This operand is not
compatible with slot/port operands.
-health Displays SFP health status information from Fabric Watch for 10 Gbps and 16
Gbps SFPs and for 16Gbps QSFPs (Quad SFPs). When Fabric Watch monitoring
of SFPs is enabled with the thMonitor command, Fabric Watch monitors
diagnostic SFP parameters such as current, voltage, receiver power, transmit
power, and temperature. When any of these parameters crosses user-configured
low and high thresholds the SFP health state changes Possible health states
include the following:
Green SPF operates within Fabric Watch thresholds.
Yellow At least one SFP parameter monitored by Fabric Watch has crossed a low or high
threshold.
No License The switch does not have a Fabric Watch License
Unknown This state displays for 8 Gbps, 4 Gbps and 2 Gbps SPF types not supported by
this feature.
Paused Health monitoring is not enabled on the switch.

shellFlowControlDisable
Disables XON/XOFF flow control on the console serial port.
SYNOPSIS shellflowcontroldisable
DESCRIPTION Use this command to disable XON/XOFF flow control on the console serial port. Flow control is disabled
by default.
Because this command changes the flow control on the console serial port, it must be executed from a
session that is logged in from the console serial port. This command cannot run from a Telnet session.
This setting is saved in the configuration database; therefore, it is persistent across reboots and power
cycles.
NOTES On dual-CP systems, a reboot on the standby CP is required for this command to take effect. No action is
required on the active CP.
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.
OPERANDS None
EXAMPLES To disable flow control:
switch:admin> shellflowcontroldisable

shellFlowControlEnable 2
shellFlowControlEnable
Enables XON/XOFF flow control on the console serial port.
SYNOPSIS shellflowcontrolenable
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable XON/XOFF flow control to the shell task. Flow control is disabled by default.
Because this command changes the flow control on the console serial port, it must be executed from a
session that is logged in from the console serial port. This command cannot run from a Telnet session.
This setting is saved in the configuration database; therefore, it is persistent across reboots and power
cycles.
NOTES On dual-CP systems, a reboot on the standby CP is required for this command to take effect. No action is
required on the active CP.
If flow control is enabled and if the console output is suspended for an extended period of time, the
switch might reboot. It is recommended to disable the flow control, using shellFlowControlDisable.

snmpConfig 2
snmpConfig
Manages the SNMP agent configuration.
SYNOPSIS snmpConfig --show | --set | --default | --enable | --disable
[snmpv1 | snmpv3 | accessControl | mibCapability |
systemGroup | seclevel]
snmpConfig --set mibCapability
[-mib_name mib_name [-bitmask bit_mask]]
snmpConfig --enable | --disable mibCapability
-mib_name mib_name [-trap_name trap_name]
snmpConfig --enable | --disable snmpv1
snmpConfig --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage the configuration of the SNMP agent in the switch. The configuration
includes SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 configuration, access control list (ACL), MIB capability, system group,
and security level settings. The command supports set, reset to default, and display operations.
The SNMP Agent configuration interface is interactive for all parameters except mibCapability, which
can be configured both interactively and with command line options on platforms running Fabric OS
v6.4.0 and later. The enhanced command line interface supports enabling or disabling a single MIB or all
MIBs, configuring a single trap only, and managing traps in excess of 32.
The SNMPv3 configuration supports sending inform requests as an alternative to trap requests. Traps
are unreliable because the receiver does not send any acknowledgment when it receives a trap. The
sender cannot determine if the trap was received. However, an SNMP manager that receives an inform
request acknowledges the message with an SNMP response protocol data unit (PDU). If the manager
does not receive an inform request, it does not send a response. If the sender never receives a
response, the inform request can be sent again. For this reason, informs are more likely to reach their
intended destination.
All values successfully changed by this command take effect immediately and are persistent across
power cycles and reboots.
In Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later, you can use this command to block or unblock access to SNMPv1/v2c. If
SNMPv1/v2c access is blocked, all requests for v1/v2c version will be dropped by the switch, and
SNMPv1 traps will be blocked from being sent, even if trap destinations are present. Enforcement of this
feature takes precedence over other SNMP security related features, such as accessControl or seclevel.
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.
Informs are not supported for IPv6 addresses.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--help Displays the command usage.
--show Displays the SNMP agent configuration data of the specified category. When used
with the snmpv1 operand, this command displays whether access to
SNMPv1/v2c is enabled or disabled.

parameter.
--default Sets the SNMP agent configuration data for a specified item to the default values.
Generally, these default values may be available in the configuration database.
The command sets to factory defaults if the SNMP agent configuration
parameters are not available in the configuration database.
--enable Enables the SNMP agent configuration for the specified category. This operand is
valid only with mibCapability and snmpv1. When used with the snmpv1
operand, this command restores access to SNMPv1/v2c.
--disable Disables the SNMP agent configuration for the specified category. This operand is
valid only with mibCapability and snmpv1. When used with the snmpv1
operand, this command blocks access to SNMPv1/v2c. All requests for v1/v2c
version will be dropped by the switch, and SNMPv1 traps will be blocked from
being sent, even if trap destinations are present.
snmpv1 Selects SNMPv1-related configuration parameters. These parameters include the
community string, trap recipient IP address, and trap severity level associated with
each trap recipient IP address. When "0" is configured as a trap port, traps can be
received at the default port 162.
snmpv3 Selects SNMPv3-related configuration parameters. These parameters include the
user name, authentication protocol and password, the privacy protocol and
password, the SNMPv3 trap recipient's IP address, its associated user index and
trap severity level. When "0" is configured as a trap port, traps can be received at
the default port 162.
The --set snmpv3 command supports an interactive option to enable or disable
informs by setting the parameter "SNMP Informs Enabled" to true or false. If
informs are enabled, all trap destinations receive inform requests. If informs are
disabled, all trap destinations receive trap requests. When informs are enabled,
the engine ID must be set to correspond to the management engine IP address
(see example). Informs are by default disabled. IPv6 Informs are currently not
supported.
accessControl Selects access-control-related parameters. These parameters include the access
host subnet area and access permission (read-write).
mibCapability Selects configuration parameters related to the SNMP agent's MIBs and trap
capability parameters. These parameters include MIBs and traps supported by the
SNMP agent.
systemGroup Selects configuration parameters related to the system group. These parameters
include sysDescr, sysLocation, sysContact, and authentication failure trap.
secLevel Sets the SNMP security level.

SNMPv1 Configuration Parameters
The agent supports six communities and their associated trap recipients and trap recipient severity
levels. The first three communities are for read-write (rw) access and the last three are for read-only (ro)
access. The default value for the trap recipient of each community is 0.0.0.0. The length of the
community string should be in the range of 2 to 16 characters. The default values for the community
strings include the following:
•Community 1: Secret Code
•Community 2: OrigEquipMfr
•Community 3: private
•Community 4: public
•Community 5: common
•Community 6: FibreChannel
When an FCS policy is enabled, community strings can be changed on the primary FCS switch only, and
only the primary FCS switch propagates changes across the fabric.
For an SNMP management station to receive a trap generated by the agent, the administrator must
configure a trap recipient to correspond to the IP address of the management station. In addition, the trap
recipient must be able to pass the access control list (ACL) check as described in the Access Control
category.
Trap Recipient Severity Level
When an event occurs and its severity level is at or below the set value, the Event Trap traps
(swEventTrap, connUnitEventTrap and swFabricWatchTrap), are sent to configured trap recipients. By
default, this value is set at 0, implying that no Event Trap is sent. Possible values are
•0 None
•1 Critical
•2 Error
•3 Warning
•4 Informational
•5 Debug
SNMPv3 Configuration Parameters
Two user roles, snmpadmin and snmpuser are supported. The snmpadmin role provides read-write
access and the snmpuser role provides read-only access. Entries are added to the USM table
corresponding to each role. A total of three entries for snmpadmin and snmpuser respectively are
supported. Separate default passwords are provided for creation of authKey and privKey for each entry.
The default set of passwords is published and the default algorithm (MD5/SHA) is used to create the
initial set of authentication keys. You can change these passwords using this option. You can select the
authentication protocol MD5/SHA or no authentication for each entry.
The following combinations of protocols are supported:
•NoAuth/NoPriv
•Auth/NoPriv
•Auth/Priv
The user name must be between 2 and 32 characters long. The default user names are defined with the
noAuth and noPriv protocol. The factory default SNMPv3 user names include the following:
•User 1: snmpadmin1
•User 2: snmpadmin2
•User 3: snmpadmin3
•User 4: snmpuser1
1024 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
snmpConfig
2
•User 5: snmpuser2
•User 6: snmpuser3
The --default option sets the user name and password to default.
If an FCS policy is enabled, the configuration must be updated on the primary switch and the nonprimary
switches; unlike community strings, user names and passwords are not distributed for other switches in
the fabric.
When new passwords are entered for any user entry, a new authKey and privKey are generated. The
new passwords must be updated on the client (e.g., MIB browser) as well. AuthKey and privKey can
also be updated with the delta key mechanism provided by the SNMPv3 protocol.
The system prompts for password confirmation if a protocol other than NoAuth/NoPriv is selected.
Protocol passwords must be between 1 and 20 characters.
In order for an SNMP management station to receive SNMPv3 traps generated by the agent, the
administrator must configure a trap recipient value to correspond to the IP address of the management
station. In addition, the trap recipient must pass the ACL check as described in the Access Control
section. The trap recipient must be associated with one of the six users of SNMPv3 and trap severity
level. The factory default value for the SNMPv3 trap recipient of each user is 0.0.0.0.
Access Control Configuration Parameters
The ACL check is as follows: there are six ACLs to restrict SNMP get, set, and trap operations to hosts
under an host-subnet-area. The host-subnet-area is defined by comparing nonzero IP octets. For
example, an ACL of 192.168.64.0 enables access by any hosts that start with the specified octets. The
connecting host is enabled to set each host-subnet-area to be read-write or read-only. The closest match
out of six entries is given access. The ACL check is turned off when all six entries contain 0.0.0.0. The
default values of all six entries are 0.0.0.0. For IPv6 subnets, the format is specified by an IPv6 address
followed by the number of fixed bits in the address.
MIB Capability Configuration Parameters
The mibCapability option turns certain MIBS and associated SNMP traps on or off. If a specific MIB is
disabled, the corresponding traps also are disabled. If any trap group is disabled, the corresponding
individual traps are also disabled.
In Fabric OS v6.4.0 and later, SNMP Traps are identified by their bit mask and can be read directly from
the switch configuration. The MIB and trap status (enabled or disabled) status is recorded in a 64- bit
counter. The last bit (bit 0) is reserved for the MIB and the remaining bits are reserved for the traps of that
MIB. The trap's position is allocated based on the last ID of the trap OID. For example, the last ID of the
swEventTrap is 5 so its position will be 5th from the right. The following is a listing of valid SNMP traps
and their bit masks:

The following MIB configuration options are supported:
--set mibCapability Configures MIBs interactively. When used without a MIB name, this command
displays a menu with supported MIBs and associated traps, and for each MIB or
trap, you are prompted to confirm or change the default by specifying yes or no.
Specifying yes means you can access the MIB variables with an SNMP manager.
For two traps under the SW-TRAP category, the swEventTrap and the
swFabricWatchTrap, this command provides the option to specify a severity levels
to control the number of generated alerts. When a severity level is configured,
traps below the specified severity level specified are not sent. Refer to the

snmpTraps
Sends or displays SNMP traps.
SYNOPSIS snmptraps --send [-trap_name trap_name]
[-ip_address ip_address]
snmptraps --show [port]
snmptraps --block -port [slot]port | ALL
snmptraps --unblock -port [slot]port | ALL
snmptraps --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage specific Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps.
Use the --send option to send a specific SNMP trap to a recipient indicated by its IP address. Or use the
--send option without operands to send all supported traps to all configured SNMP trap recipients. When
the command is issued to send all traps, the message returned indicates only the total number of traps
sent and not the individual trap names.
In Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later you can block or unblock certain port traps on specified ports. This feature
provides control over a subset of port traps including the following: SwFCPortScn,
ConnUnitPortStatusChange, and SwFabricSegmentTrap.
Use the --show option with the port operand to display the status of blocked ports. When used without
operands, the --show option displays all Management Information Base (MIB) objects and associated
traps that are supported in Fabric OS.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--send Sends one or all SNMP traps to all configured recipients or to a specified recipient.
The following operands are optional:
-trap_name trap_name
Specifies the trap by name. Use snmptraps --show for a listing of valid traps.
-ip_address ip_address
Specifies the recipient by its IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 format. IPv6 addresses
require Fabric OS v6.4.0 or later.
--block [slot]port | ALLBlocks the following port traps on the specified port: SwFCPortScn,
ConnUnitPortStatusChange, and SwFabricSegmentTrap. When used with the
ALL this command blocks these traps on all ports.
--unblock [slot]port | ALL
Removes the trap blocking from the specified port or from all ports.
--show [port]Displays all configured SNMP traps and MIBs. When used with the optional port
argument, this command displays the ports that are blocked from receiving certain
software traps.

spinFab

spinFab
Runs functional test of interswitch link (ISL) cabling and trunk group operation.
SYNOPSIS spinfab
[-nmegs count]
[-framesize bytes]
[-ports itemlist]
[-setfail mode]
[-fports flag]
[-nframes count]
[-pattern name]
[-timeout count]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to verify the intended functional operation of interswitch links (ISLs) at the maximum
speed by setting up the routing hardware so that test frames received by each E_Port are retransmitted
on the same E_Port. Several frames are subsequently sent to the neighbor port attached to each active
E_Port specified. Because the default action for such frames is to route them back to the sender, which
never occurs during normal traffic, the frames circulate until the test terminates.
The frames are continuously transmitted and received in all ports in parallel. The port LEDs flicker green
rapidly while the test is running.
M->N/M->M loopback ports are tested as well, using the same algorithm, if loopback cables or loopback
plugs are present in the switch.
While the frames are circulating, the RX frame count and port CRC and encoder error statistics are
monitored. If a port stops or a low-level error occurs, the test generates an error message. Every one
million frames, the circulating frames are captured to verify that they are still circulating and in the
appropriate order. In this manner, the test can verify the entire path to the remote switch as well as the
proper in-order delivery operation of any trunk groups present.
The switch remains in normal operation while this test is running. However, some performance
degradation may occur due to the ISLs being saturated with test frames. For this reason, use caution
when running this test on live fabrics. Consider testing only one trunk group or ISL at a time, and do not
run the tests for extended periods of time.
Combine this test with portLoopBackTest for ISL link failure isolation. If spinFab fails, replace the cable
with a loopback plug and run portLoopBackTest to verify the local switch and media. If these pass, the
fault lies in the cable, the remote switch, or media.
The frame size depends on the amount of buffer credit available on the port. There are eight possible
frames that can be sent. Especially with trunking groups, all eight possible frames are used unless there
is extensive traffic running on the link. The payload sizes of those eight frames are 1024, 12, 8,1024,
512, 1024, 12, and 1024.
NOTES The following port types support the spinFab diagnostics.
•Loopback ports
•E_Ports
•Trunk master ports
•Ports with index numbers greater than 255
•Ports with swapped areas
•Ports in logical switches
•Ports in Base Switches
•Trunk Slave ports
Fabric OS Command Reference 1039
53-1003108-01
spinFab 2
•Long Distance ports
•F_Ports connected to an HBA
The following ports do not support the spinFab test:
•F_Ports connected to an Access Gateway
•EX_Ports
•E_Ports connected to EX_Ports
•Interchassis link (ICL) E_Ports
•ICLs configured as D_Ports
•If Access Gateway mode is enabled, spinFab tests only the F_Ports connected to Brocade-branded
HBAs and skips all other ports (F_Ports connected to non-Brocade branded HBAs and N_Ports).
When trunk groups are present, the entire trunk group must be included in the range of ports to test or
false failure notifications may occur. If multiple ISL links are present between two switches that support
trunking, then it is likely that trunk groups are present and all ports between the two switches should be
tested at the same time.
You cannot interrupt the test by pressing the return key (<cr>).
This command supports a maximum of 16 paths to a single remote domain.
When new logical switches are created, appropriate switch domain must be set to avoid domain ID
overlap when running spinfab. With insistent DID turned off to overcome this issue, DID negotiation
depends on when the switch is powered on. A reboot of the switches with links already established
re-configures the domain if the domain ID is already in use by another switch in the fabric, to avoid
convergence.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-nmegs count Specifies the number of frames to send in millions. The test progresses until the
specified number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The default value
is 10 million frames. This command only approximately counts the frames and the
actual number of frames sent will be slightly larger, particularly at link speeds of 4
Gbps or higher.
-framesize bytes For internal use only. Not supported.
-ports itemlist Specifies a list of user ports to test. By default, all of the ISL ports in the current
switch are tested. Refer to itemList for further details.
-setfail mode Instructs spinFab how to mark failed ports. Valid values include the following:
0Does not mark failing ports as FAILED (default). This option minimizes the impact
on live fabrics.
1Marks the failing ports as FAILED. In test or qualification environments without live
traffic, this may be useful with large values of -nmegs count. This mode is
disabled by default.

-fports flag Instructs spinFab to include or exclude F_Ports in the testing. This feature is
disabled by default. If enabled, spinFab tests the F_Ports connected to
Brocade-branded HBAs along with other valid ports (E-ports & Loopback ports).
The HBA must be running firmware v2.1.1 or higher. Valid flag values include the
following:
0Does not include F_Ports in the port list for testing (default).
1Includes F_Ports in the port list for testing.
-nframes count Determines how many frames will be sent by spinfab on the link to spin. Default is
2. The maximum number is 5. If you want to configure more than 5 use -nframes
0.
-pattern name Forces spinfab to use a particular data pattern for the frames it spins between
ports. The pattern can be a user defined pattern or is selected from a set of twenty
five predefined pattern types. Use the datatypeshow command to view the
predefined patterns supported with spinfab. For each pattern, the datatypeshow
command displays the name, the pattern type number, and an example. Specify
the pattern by its name after the -pattern option. If pattern is not specified, it
defaults to jCRPAT (type=17). To use a user defined pattern, follow the -pattern
option with a 32 bit hexadecimal number.
-timeout count Defines a time limit (in seconds) for the running of spinfab. Spinfab will keep track
of how long the test has run and stop testing once the timeout limit has been
reached. The overall accuracy will be in the tens of seconds.
DIAGNOSTICS When it detects failures, the test may report one or more of the following error messages. If errors
persist, contact Technical Support.

sshUtil
Manages public key authentication.
SYNOPSIS sshutil allowuser user name
sshutil showuser
sshutil importpubkey
sshutil showpubkeys
sshutil delpubkeys
sshutil genkey
sshutil exportpubkey
sshutil delprivkey
sshutil delknownhost
sshutil help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable and manage SSH public key authentication on a switch. SSH public key
authentication provides a mechanism for authenticating an authorized user without a password. SSH
public key authentication is more secure than password authentication and can be used to securely
access services that require automatic login.
SSH public key authentication works as follows: An authorized user generates a pair of encryption keys
(public and private) on a local machine (a switch or a server). Messages encrypted with the private key
can only be decrypted by the public key, and vice versa. The private key remains on the local machine;
the public key is exported to a remote host. The remote host responds to login requests by sending a
brief message encrypted with the public key. The private key on the local host decrypts the message,
and the login succeeds.
Use the sshUtil command to do the following:
•Configure a user to perform public key authentication and to manage keys on a switch.
•Generate a private/public key pair on the local switch.
•Import a public key for a specified user from a remote host to the local switch.
•Export the public key from the local switch to a remote host.
•Delete the public keys associated with a specified user or all users on the local switch.
•Delete the private key on the local switch.
•Delete the known host name or IP address from the file .ssh/known_hosts.
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.
Outgoing public key authentication from the switch to a remote host is restricted to Fabric OS Commands
which use secure copy (SCP), such as configDownload or configUpload.
Fabric OS Command Reference 1043
53-1003108-01
sshUtil 2
This command supports generation of a public/private key pair on the switch to enable outgoing
connections between a switch and a remote host. To set up incoming connections, you must first
generate the public/private key pair on a remote host and then import the public key to the switch. Use
the SSH utility ssh-keygen -t dsa to generate the keys on the remote host. Refer to your UNIX system
documentation for details on this command.
OPERANDS This command supports the following operands:
allowuser user name Configures the specified user to perform public key authentication and all related
management operations for outgoing public key authentication. This operation
can only be performed by the default admin. The default admin is, by default, a
configured user. Only one user can be configured at any given time.
The following operand is required:
user name Specifies login name for the configured user. The user must be in the switch user
database and must have admin privileges on the switch.
showuser Displays the currently configured user. This operation can only be performed by
the default admin.
importpubkey Imports a public key from a remote host to the local switch. The protocol used is
SCP. This operation supports authentication for incoming connections. For this
operation to succeed, a public/private key pair must be generated on the remote
host prior to the import by issuing ssh-genkey -t dsa (a UNIX command). The
command prompts for a user name for whom the public key is imported. Once the
public key is imported successfully, the user for whom the key was imported can
perform public key authentication with the switch from the remote host, on which
the private key resides.
importpubkey prompts for the following input parameters:
Username Enter the user name for whom the key is imported.
IP Address Enter the IP address for the remote host. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
remote directory Enter the path where the public key is stored on the remote host. The default
directory where SSH stores public keys is ~username/.ssh.
public key name Enter the name of the file in which the public key is stored on the remote host.
This is a user-generated file name that must have a .pub extension.
login name Enter the user login name for the remote host.
password Enter the password for the remote user.
showpubkeys Displays all imported public keys associated with the specified user. Public keys
generated on the switch are not shown. This command interactively prompts for a
username.
username Enter the username for whom you want to display the public keys.

delpubkey Deletes all imported public keys associated with a specified user on the switch or
with all users. This command prompts for the user name associated with the
public keys. Enter "all" to delete the public keys of all users. Deletion of a
configured user's public keys effectively blocks incoming connections from this
user that rely on public key authentication with the switch.
genkey Generates an RSA private/public key pair on the local switch. This option can be
performed only by a configured user. This option enables authentication for
outgoing connections from the switch to a remote host. You must export the public
key to a remote host to complete the setup. For incoming connections, the
private/public key must first be generated on the remote host by issuing
ssh-genkey -t dsa (a UNIX command), and then importing the public key from
the remote host to the switch using the sshutil import command.
genkey prompts for user input on the following parameters:
passphrase Accepts a string of arbitrary length. This operand is optional, but creating a pass
phrase is strongly recommended. A strong pass phrase is 10-30 characters long,
fairly complex and difficult to guess. and contains a mix of upper and lowercase
letters, numbers, and nonalphanumeric characters. There is no way to recover a
lost pass phrase. If the pass phrase is lost, a new key must be generated and
copied to the corresponding public key to other machines.
exportpubkey Exports the public key from the switch to a specified remote host to support
outgoing connections from the switch to a remote host. This option can only be
performed by a configured user. The successfully exported public key must be
appended to the authorized_keys file on the remote host. Use the cat
~/.ssh/outgoing.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys command to append the file.
exportpubkey prompts for IP Address, remote directory, login name and
password. Refer to importpubkey for a description of these parameters.
delprivkey Deletes the private key for outgoing connection from the switch. This option can
only be performed by a configured user. Deletion of a configured user's private
keys effectively blocks outgoing connections initiated by this user that rely on
public key authentication with a remote host.
delknownhost Deletes the known host name or IP address from the file .ssh/known_hosts. This
option can only be performed by the authorized user. On deletion of a known host
name or IP address from the .ssh/known_hosts file, the next SSH connection
prompts the user to accept a new public key.
help Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES To configure a user for public key authentication:
switch:admin> sshutil allowuser username
Allowed user has been successfully changed to username.
To display the configured user:
switch:admine> sshutil showuser

supportSave
Saves RASLOG, TRACE, supportShow, core file, FFDC data, and other support information
SYNOPSIS supportsave
supportsave [-n] [-c] [-k]
[-u user_name -p password -h host_ip
-d remote_dir -l protocol]
supportsave [-R]
supportsave [-U -d remote_dir]
supportsave [-t timeout_multiplier]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to collect RASLOG, TRACE, supportShow, core file, FFDC data and other support
information to a remote FTP location. On platforms that support USB, the information can also be stored
on an attached USB device. On a dual-CP system, information is saved for the local and the remote CP.
SupportShow information is available on Active and Standby CPs. To reduce the chance of missing the
correct trace dump, supportSave retrieves old (the dump created prior to the current one) and new (the
dump triggered by the command) trace dumps.
The files generated by this command are compressed before being sent off the switch. The core files and
panic dumps remain on the switch after the command is run. The FFDC data are removed after the
command has finished.
If there are blade processor (BP) blades installed on the switch, a support file (a.tar.gz file) is generated
from each slot.
This command accepts IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If the configured IP address is in IPv6 format, the RAS
auto file transfer and event notification to syslog will not work in the case where the Fabric OS version is
downgraded. You must reconfigure auto file transfer and syslog with IPv4 IP addresses.
In a Virtual Fabric environment, supportSave saves all chassis-based information and iterates through
the defined switch-based information for all logical switches. Chassis permissions are required to
execute this command.
Note that quotes should be used around path entries to ensure proper handling of special shell
characters.
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.
If you use anonymous FTP to run supportSave on a chassis with multiple AP blades, configure the FTP
Windows server to allow unlimited anonymous users.
OPERANDS When invoked without operands, this command goes into interactive mode. The following operands are
optional:
-n Does not prompt for confirmation. This operand is optional; if omitted, you are
prompted for confirmation.
Fabric OS Command Reference 1053
53-1003108-01
supportSave 2
-c Uses the FTP, SCP, or SFTP parameters saved by the supportFtp command.
This operand is optional; if omitted, specify the FTP, SCP, or SFTP parameters
through command line options or interactively. To display the current supportFTP
parameters, run supportFtp (on a dual-CP system, run supportFtp on the active
CP).
The -c option is mutually exclusive with -u, -p, -h, and -d.
-k Specifies that the supportFtp auto file transfer configuration transfer only core
and FFDC files in noninteractive mode.
-u user_name Specifies the user name for the FTP, SCP, or SFTP server. This operand is
optional; if omitted, anonymous FTP is used.
-p password Specifies the password for the FTP, SCP, or SFTP server. This operand is optional
with FTP; if omitted, anonymous FTP is used.
-h host_ip Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address for the remote server.
-d remote_dir Specifies the remote directory to which the file is to be transferred. By default, the
remote directory is created in the /support directory of the USB device.
-R Removes all core files on the CP and BP. This option cannot be used with any
other options.
-l protocol Specifies the transfer protocol. Valid values are file transfer protocol (FTP), secure
copy (SCP), or secure FTP (SFTP).
If you plan to use SCP to transfer files, it is important to test the supportSave
command prior to its use with various SCP-mode services. Because the
supportSave command makes several access requests to copy files, it is
important that the SCP-mode service be configured so that passwords are not
required for each attempted transfer by the supportSave command. Failure to
configure the service correctly may result in significant delays in obtaining
transferred output from the supportSave command.
When using secure copy (SCP), supportSave may create a directory specified by
the -d option if it does not already exist and the parent directory has the
appropriate permissions. Use of FTP requires the directory to exist on the remote
server.
-U Saves support data to an attached USB device. When using this option, a target
directory must be specified with the -d option.
-t timeout_multiplier Extends predefined SupportSave timeout values by the value of the timeout
multiplier. Use this option to repeat the supportSave operation when
supportSave completion indicates that one or more modules timed out during the
process. For example, -t 2 doubles the timeout values for each of the
SupportSave modules. Valid multiplier values are 2 to 5. The default is 1.

switchBeacon 2
switchBeacon
Sets switch beaconing mode on or off.
SYNOPSIS switchbeacon [mode]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable switch beaconing mode. Switch beaconing can be used to locate
a failing unit.
When beaconing mode is turned on, the port LEDs flash amber, left to right and right to left, from port 0 to
the highest port number and back to port 0. The beaconing mode continues until you turn it off.
The beaconing LED pattern continues until you turn it off. Beaconing mode takes over the port LEDs.
Other commands are still executable and functional. The normal flashing LED pattern (associated with
an active, faulty or disabled port for example) is suppressed and only the beaconing pattern is shown.
However, if diagnostic frame-based tests (such as portLoopbackTest) are executed, two patterns are
interleaved. The diagnostic test flickers the LEDs green and the beaconing mode runs the LEDs amber
at the same time.
The switchBeacon command is one of three commands that control beaconing. Each command has a
clearly defined scope of action:
•The portBeacon command enables or disables beaconing on a specified port.
•The switchBeacon command enables or disables beaconing on all ports in the current logical
switch.
•The chassisBeacon command to enables or disables beaconing on all ports in the chassis.
The actions of the beaconing commands are independent and mutually exclusive. For example, if you
enabled beaconing on the logical switch (1) and you want to enable beaconing on the entire chassis, you
must first disable switch beaconing with the switchBeacon command before you can use the
chassisBeacon command to enable beaconing on the entire chassis. Likewise, existing portBeacon
settings remain unaffected if you enable or disable beaconing on the switch or on the chassis. Failure to
disable existing beaconing commands before using a different type of beaconing may cause the
commands to interfere with each other in unexpected ways.
To determine whether or not beaconing is enabled or disabled on the switch or chassis, use the
switchBeacon or chassisBeacon command without operands. A value of 0 indicates that the command
is disabled, a value of 1 indicates that the command is enabled. Issue the portBeacon --show command
to display beaconing for a specific port. The switchShow command displays the status of the
switchBeacon command only.
NOTES The switchBeacon command is not supported on the Brocade FCOE10-24 blade.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operand:
mode Specify 1 to enable beaconing mode or 0 to disable beaconing mode. This
operand is optional. If no operand is specified, the current value is displayed.

switchCfgPersistentDisable 2
switchCfgPersistentDisable
Disables a switch persistently.
SYNOPSIS switchcfgpersistentdisable
switchcfgpersistentdisable --setdisablestate
switchcfgpersistentdisable --disable
switchcfgpersistentdisable --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to persistently disable the switch immediately or after reboot. All Fibre Channel ports
are taken offline. If the switch was part of a fabric, the remaining switches reconfigure. The switch
remains disabled even after a reboot.
As each port is disabled, the front panel LEDs change to a slow-flashing amber.
You can temporarily enable a persistently disabled switch with the switchEnable command. A
temporarily enabled switch remains disabled after a reboot.
NOTES Performance Monitoring cannot be added to any port on a persistently disabled switch.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--setdisablestate Sets the switch in disable state. The switch is disabled persistently after the next
reboot.
--disable Disables the switch persistently.
--help Displays command usage.
EXAMPLES To disable a switch persistently:
switch:admin> switchcfgpersistentdisable
Switch's persistent state set to 'disabled'
To set the state of a switch to disable so that the switch is disabled during next reboot:
switch:admin> switchcfgpersistentdisable -setdisablestate

switchCfgPersistentEnable
2
switchCfgPersistentEnable
Enables a switch persistently.
SYNOPSIS switchcfgpersistentenable
DESCRIPTION Use this command to persistently enable a persistently disabled switch. All Fibre Channel ports that
passed the power-on self-test (POST) are enabled and come online if connected to a device, or remain
offline if disconnected. The switch may need to be enabled if it was previously disabled to make
configuration changes or to run diagnostics.
If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. If this switch remains the principal switch, it
assigns itself a domain ID. If another switch assumes the principal role, then this switch becomes a
subordinate switch, and accepts a domain ID from the principal. Refer to the FC-SW specification for a
complete description of this process.
As each port is enabled, the front panel LEDs change from slow-flashing amber to green for online ports,
or to nonflashing amber for ports that do not initialize. Disconnected ports remain unlit.
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.

switchCfgSpeed 2
switchCfgSpeed
Configures the speed for all ports on a switch.
SYNOPSIS switchcfgspeed speed
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the port speed on a switch. This command sets the speed for all user
ports. If any port on the switch is not capable of the specified speed setting, an error message is
displayed for that port. The configuration is saved in nonvolatile memory and persists across switch
reboots or power cycles.
On Condor 3-based platforms, the switchCfgSpeed command checks if the requested speed is allowed,
based on the combination configured for the octet that contains the first eight physical ports of the switch
or blade. If the requested speed is not supported by the current octet speed combination, this command
logs a RASlog message and moves on to the next port. Use the portCfgOctetSpeedCombo command
to the set the suggested combination before re-executing the switchCfgSpeed command.
Use the portShow command to display actual port speed settings. Use the portCfgShow command to
display user-configured speed settings.
NOTES This configuration cannot be set on VE_Ports or VEX_Ports.
Speed configuration is not applicable to FCoE ports.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operand:
speed Specifies the speed for all ports on a switch. This operand is required. Valid values
are as follows:
0Autosensing mode. The port automatically configures for the highest speed.
1 The port is set at a fixed speed of 1 Gbps (not supported on 10G and 16G
platforms).

switchCfgTrunk
2
switchCfgTrunk
Enables or disables trunking on all the ports of a switch.
SYNOPSIS switchcfgtrunk mode
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable trunking on all the ports of a switch. Use portCfgTrunkPort to
enable or disable trunking on a single port.
When the command is executed to update the trunking configuration, the ports to which the configuration
applies are disabled and subsequently re-enabled with the new trunking configuration. Traffic through
these ports may be temporarily disrupted. The command issues a message that lists the VE/VEX_Ports
to which the configuration does not apply.
Although trunking configuration changes are applied at the switch level, they are tracked as a per-port
attribute and no switch-wide attribute is maintained to keep track of these changes. Whenever a new port
comes online as part of the switch, you must reapply the trunking configuration. For example, If you
remove a blade from a chassis while trunking is enabled for the ports on the blade, and you disable
trunking on the switch after you removed the blade, the blade ports will come online with trunking
enabled after you reinsert the blade. To avoid potentially disruptive behavior, reapply the trunking
configuration.
Trunking on Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) ports is always enabled and cannot be turned off by this command.
Disabling trunking fails if a Trunk Area (TA) is enabled on the port. Use the portTrunkArea command to
disable the TA on all ports before disabling trunking.
NOTES Enabling trunking requires an ISL Trunking license. You may disable trunking without a license.
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.
OPERANDS The following operand is required:
mode Specify 1 to enable trunking on all ports. Specify 0 to disable trunking on all ports.
EXAMPLES To enable trunking on all ports of a switch:
switch:admin> switchcfgtrunk 1
Configuration applied to all ports except the following \
VE/VEX_Ports (ports 176 - 191).
To disable trunking on all ports of a switch:
switch:admin> switchcfgtrunk 0

switchDisable 2
switchDisable
Disables all user ports on a switch.
SYNOPSIS switchdisable
DESCRIPTION Use this command to disable all user ports on a switch. All Fibre Channel ports are taken offline. If the
switch was part of a fabric, the remaining switches reconfigure. As each port is disabled, the front panel
LED changes to a slow-flashing amber.
The switch must be disabled before making configuration changes or before running offline diagnostic
tests. Commands that require the switch to be disabled generate an error message if invoked while the
switch is enabled. It is not necessary to disable the switch before rebooting or powering off.
When this command is executed on a logical switch, only the ports allocated to the logical are disabled.
To disable the entire chassis, use the chassisDisable command.
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.
OPERANDS None

switchEnable
2
switchEnable
Enables all user ports on a switch.
SYNOPSIS switchenable
DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable all user ports on a switch. All Fibre Channel ports that passed the power-on
self test (POST) are enabled. They can come online if connected to a device, or remain offline if
disconnected. Use switchEnable to re-enable the switch after making configuration changes or running
offline diagnostics.
If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. If the switch remains the principal switch, it
assigns itself a domain ID. If another switch assumes the principal role, then the re-enabled switch
becomes a subordinate switch and accepts a domain ID from the principal.
As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes to green for online ports, or to amber for
uninitialized ports. Disconnected ports remain unlit.
When this command is executed on a logical switch, only the ports allocated to the logical switch are
enabled. To enable the entire chassis, use the chassisEnable command.
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.

switchName 2
switchName
Displays or sets the switch name.
SYNOPSIS switchname [name]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display or set the switch name. Once you set the switchname, you must re-login for
the change to be in effect. .All switches have a symbolic name that is primarily used for switch
management. This name is shown in the Fabric OS CLI prompt, under each switch icon in Web Tools,
and in the output of various Fabric OS Commands, such as fabricShow.
Use this command with the name operand to assign a new switch name. The switch name should be
unique. Enter this command without an operand to display the current switch name.
Changing the switch name causes a domain address format registered state change notification (RSCN)
to be issued. Refer to the FC-FLA specification for a description of RSCNs).
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operand:
name Specifies the name for the switch. A switch name can include up to 30 characters.
The name must begin with a letter and can consist of letters, numbers, hyphens,
and underscore characters. The switch name should be unique. Spaces are not
allowed. This operand is optional; if omitted, this command displays the current
switch name.
EXAMPLES To change the switch name (note the change in the prompt text):
switch:admin> switchname brocade_demo_1298765_AY4TYI60

On the Brocade FCoE10-24 blade, the Proto column identifies the FCoE ports of the switch. For all FCoE
ports, the speed is 10 Gbps. The default configuration of an FCoE port is an F_Port configuration. After a
successful reboot switchShow displays all FCoE ports as online. For each FCoE port, the FCoE
controller WWN is shown. FCoE ports are not configurable with the Fabric OS port commands. Use the
FCoE commands instead.
If a port is configured as a long distance port, the long distance level is displayed in the format of Lx,
where x represents the long distance level number. See portCfgLongDistance for the level description.
When a port is configured as an N_Port and is online, switchShow displays its type as an N_Port. Also,
switchShow displays the WWN of the border switch attached to this N_Port as a 24-bit Port Identifier
assigned to this port by the enterprise fabric.
In an AD context, if one of the L_Ports or NPIV Ports is a part of the current AD, the complete device
information attached to the port is displayed.

-portname Displays the name for each port on the switch. The port name is set by the
portName command.
-qsfp Displays the output of the switchShow command with a QSFP column added. If a
QSFP is installed on the port, the QSFP number is displayed for the port. This
number corresponds to the physical QSFP number that can be found on the front
of each Core Blade. A double dash (--) indicates that QSFP is not supported on
that blade.
-portcount Displays the number of ports on the switch. This operand is exclusive.

switchStatusPolicySet 2
switchStatusPolicySet
Sets the policy parameters that determine the overall switch status.
SYNOPSIS switchstatuspolicyset
DESCRIPTION Use this command to set policy parameters for calculating the overall status of the switch. The policy
parameter values determine how many failed or faulty units of each contributor are allowed before
triggering a status change in the switch from HEALTHY to MARGINAL or DOWN.
For some components, a single contributor can force the overall status of the switch to MARGINAL or
DOWN. For example, assuming that the switch contributor values are set to the default values, the
presence of one faulty fan in a Brocade 6510 would set the overall switch status to MARGINAL. Two
faulty fans would set the overall switch status to DOWN.
This command runs interactively and prompts you to accept or change the default value for each
supported contributor. The unit for thresholds (both default and user-defined) of MarginalPorts,
FaultyPorts, ErrorPorts, and MissingSFPs are calculated as a percentage of the current number of
physical ports present in the switch at any given moment. For example, the input value of 25.00 indicates
25% of all physical ports. VE_Ports and FCoE Ports are excluded from the calculation. The percentage
supports decimal values of up to two decimal points.
The following component thresholds are configurable. Components and value ranges are
platform-dependent:
PowerSupplies Absent or failed power supplies, and power supplies that are not in the correct slot
for redundancy.
Temperatures Number of units with out-of-range temperature settings or faulty temperature
sensors.
Fans Number of faulty fans.
WWN Number of faulty WWN cards.
CP Number of Control Processors down.
Blade Number of faulty Blades.
CoreBlade Number of faulty core blades.
Flash Out of range flash memory.
MarginalPorts Percentage of ports exceeding configured Fabric Watch thresholds.
FaultyPorts Percentage of ports with hardware-related port faults.
MissingSFPs Percentage of ports with missing SFPs (small form-factor pluggables) or SFPs
installed but not cabled.

ErrorPorts Percentage of ports segmented and disabled due to security violations or Fabric
Watch port fencing.
To determine the current status of the switch for each component monitored issue the
switchStatusShow command.
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

switchStatusPolicyShow
Displays the policy parameters that determine the overall switch status.
SYNOPSIS switchstatuspolicyshow
DESCRIPTION Use this command to view the current policy parameters set for the switch. These policy parameters
determine the number of failed or nonoperational units allowed for each contributor before triggering a
status change in the switch. For port-related contributors, the numbers are expressed as a percentage of
physical ports present in the switch at any given time.
The command displays the current parameters in a three-column format. Refer to the Examples section
for an illustration. The first column indicates the contributor, the second column indicates the minimum
number that contributes to the DOWN status, and the third column indicates the minimum number that
contributes to the MARGINAL status. The policy parameters are set by the switchStatusPolicySet
command. Not all policies are supported on all platforms. Refer to the switchStatusPolicySet help page
for more information.

sysmonitor --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure thresholds for Fabric Watch event monitoring for temperature and system
resources on the switch. The following operations are supported by this command:
•Configure thresholds for Fabric Watch event monitoring and reporting for the environment and
resource classes. Environment thresholds enable temperature monitoring, and resource thresholds
enable monitoring of flash memory. This command follows a transaction model. Configuration
changes are saved persistently to nonvolatile storage, but the changes do not take effect until you
execute --apply. The --apply option allows you to toggle between default settings and your own
saved custom configuration and to apply actions and thresholds separately. You may choose to use
default thresholds together with a customized subset of available actions, or you may modify some
of the thresholds and use the default actions. Use the -nosave option to save the configuration
nonpersistently, and use --cancel to remove a nonpersistent configuration.
•Configure memory or CPU usage parameters on the switch or display memory or CPU usage.
Configuration options include setting usage thresholds which, if exceeded, trigger a set of specified
Fabric Watch alerts. You can set up the system monitor to poll at certain intervals and specify the
number of retries required before Fabric Watch takes action. Configuring thresholds for CPU and
memory does not follow the transaction model of the typical Fabric Watch command. The --apply
and --cancel option are not valid in this context.
1102 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
sysMonitor

If any configured area exceeds the currently effective threshold settings, the Fabric Watch daemon can
take one or more of the following actions:
•Send an SNMP message.
•Log a RAS log message.
•Send an E-mail alert (valid only for the environment and resource class).
Fabric Watch thresholds vary depending on the class and platform. Refer to the Fabric Watch
Administrator's Guide for defaults and configuration guidelines.
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.
This command requires a Fabric Watch license.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
class Specifies a Fabric Watch class to be monitored. This operand is optional with the
--show option; it is required with all configuration options. Valid classes include
the following:
env Monitors the environment class.
resource Monitors the resource class.
-area area Specifies the area that can be configured for this class. This operand is optional
with the --show option; it is required with all configuration options. Valid areas
include the following:
temp Specifies the temperature area for the environment class. This area is valid only
with the environment class.
flash Specifies the flash memory area for the resource class. This area is valid only with
the resource class.
--config class -area area
Configures Fabric Watch thresholds for monitoring a specified class and area.
When configuring Fabric Watch thresholds, you must specify a class and an area.
The following operands are optional; if omitted, Fabric Watch uses default
thresholds.
-highthreshold -value value
Specifies the high threshold for triggering a specified alert action. To change the
default value, provide an integer value.
-lowthreshold -value value
Specifies the low threshold for triggering a specified alert action. To change the
default value, provide an integer value.
-trigger above | below
Specifies the actions for in-range behavior. In range is defined as the space above
the low threshold and below the high threshold for a given class and area.
Fabric OS Command Reference 1103
53-1003108-01
sysMonitor 2
-action actions Specifies the actions triggered by a configured event condition. Valid values
include one or more of the following actions. If more than one action is specified,
the actions must be separated by commas. To change the existing configuration
of actions, you must first issue the command with the none option to reset the
existing configuration, and then reissue the command with the new configuration
of actions.
snmp Event triggers an SNMP trap.
raslog Event triggers a RASlog message.
email Event triggers an e-mail.
none Event triggers no action.
-buffer value Specifies the buffer value for in-range behavior. A buffer defines a zone within
which event criteria are met, rather than a single threshold value. This operand is
optional with the -trigger options and valid only with these options.
-nosave Prevents the configuration changes from being saved persistently. This option
allows you to make and view changes without overwriting the saved configuration.
When you use --config with the -nosave option and the switch reboots your
changes will be lost.
--apply Applies the custom or default configuration for thresholds, actions, or both. This
command allows you to choose between custom and default settings. The
specified configuration takes effect upon execution of this command. When you
select custom, the saved configuration becomes effective.
--cancel Cancels a nonpersistent configurations. This command effectively undoes the
-nosave operation without reboot.
You must always specify a class and area when you apply or cancel a
configuration. Thresholds and alarm levels are optional; if omitted, all
nonpersistent configurations for the specified class and area are used.
--pause | --continue arguments
Pauses or resumes monitoring. The following arguments are required:
class Specifies the class.
-area area[,area]... | all
Specifies the area. You can either specify one or more areas separated by a
comma, or you can specify all to indicate all areas.
-index index | all Specifies the index number for the element to be monitored, or specify -index all
to indicate all elements. An element is a subcomponent of an area, for example, a
temperature sensor on the switch.
--show Displays the Fabric Watch configuration for the specified class. When used
without operands, this command displays the current Fabric Watch configuration
for all classes and areas. When used with optional arguments, the output displays
partial views or status information.

-current Displays current values for a specified class or area. This operand is optional and
valid only with the --show option. The output includes the class, area, port
number, circuit ID (for the Brocade 7800 and FS8-24 only), Value, State, and
Monitoring Status (pause or continue). The State field reports whether the current
value is above, in range, or below (info) the configured threshold. If no class or
area is specified, this command displays current values for all Fabric Watch
classes and areas (not only those configured with this command).
The following operands are optional with the --apply, --cancel, and --show
options; if omitted, default thresholds are used.
-action_level def | cust
Configures or displays default or custom action settings.
-thresh_level def | cust
Configures or displays default or custom thresholds.
--config mem | cpu Configures the parameters for monitoring system CPU or memory usage. The
following parameters are configurable with this command.
-poll Specifies the polling interval in seconds. Valid values are 10 to 3600 seconds. The
default value is 120 seconds. This operand is optional.
-retry Specifies the number of retries before Fabric Watch takes action. The default
value is 3.
-limit Specifies a usage limit as percentage of available resources.
When used to configure CPU monitoring, specify a value in the 1 to 100 range.
When CPU usage exceeds the limit a Fabric Watch alert is triggered. The default
CPU limit 75%.
When used to configure memory monitoring the limit value must be greater than
the low limit and smaller than the high limit. When the limit is exceeded, Fabric
Watch sends out a RASlog WARNING message. When usage returns below the
limit, Fabric Watch sends a RASlog INFO message. Valid values are in the range
between the low limit and 90%. The default value is 60%.
The following operands are valid only with --config mem. They provide two
additional limits above and below the middle usage limit.
-high_limit high_limit
Specifies an upper usage limit for memory as percentage of available memory.
This value must be greater than the value set by the -limit parameter. The
maximum is 90%. When memory usage exceeds this limit, Fabric Watch
generates a CRITICAL RASlog message. The default is 80%.
-low_limit low_limit
Specifies a lower usage limit for memory as percentage of available memory. This
value must be smaller than the value set by the -limit parameter. When memory
usage exceeds or falls below this limit, Fabric Watch generates an INFO RASlog
message. The default for all platforms is 50%.
-action actions Specifies the actions to be taken if system resources exceed the specified high
threshold or fall outside the boundaries defined by the high and low thresholds.
Valid values are snmp, raslog, both, or none. The default is none. If more than
one action is specified, actions must be separated by commas.

thconfig --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure thresholds for Fabric Watch event monitoring for the SFP (small
form-factor pluggable),fabric, filter, end-to-end performance monitor, and security classes or to display
the configuration. If configured areas exceed the currently effective threshold settings, the Fabric Watch
daemon can take one or more of the following actions:
•Send an SNMP message.
•Log a RASlog message.
•Send an E-mail alert.
•Locks the port log (only applicable to SFP state change area and FABRIC class).
The thConfig command follows a transaction model. When you configure thresholds and actions with
the --set option, the changes are saved persistently to nonvolatile storage, but the changes do not
become effective until you apply the configuration. The --apply option allows you to toggle between
default settings and your own saved custom configuration and to apply actions and thresholds
separately. You may choose to use default thresholds together with a customized subset of available
actions, or you may modify some of the thresholds and use the default actions. Use the -nosave option
to save the configuration nonpersistently, and use --cancel to remove a nonpersistent configuration.
For more information on Fabric Watch threshold configuration procedures, including default values for
specific area high/low thresholds, refer to the Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide.

SFPs.
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.
The Fabric and Security classes are not supported in Access Gateway mode.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
class Specifies a Fabric Watch class to be monitored. This operand is optional with the
--show option and required with all configuration options.
-area area Specifies the area that can be configured for a specified class. This operand is
optional with the --show option and required with all configuration options. Areas
are specific to each class. The following classes and associated areas are
configurable with the thConfig command. Classes and areas are not case
sensitive.
SFP Monitors the SFP class. When used with the -sfptype option on Condor 3-based
platforms, thresholds configured for the SFP class apply to 16G SFPs, 10G SFPs,
and 16G QSFPs. Valid areas for the SFP class include the following:
TEMP Monitors the physical temperature of the SFP in degrees Celsius. For 16G
QSFPs, Fabric Watch monitors temperature only on the first QSFP port that
is available on the (logical) switch.
RXP Measures Receive Power for the SPF in Watts.
TXP Measures Transmit Power for the SPF in Watts (not supported on 16G
QSFPs).
CURRENT Measures the amount of current supplied to the SFP transceiver.
VOLTAGE Measures the amount of voltage supplied to the SFP. For 16G QSFPs, Fabric
Watch monitors voltage only on the first QSFP port that is available on the
(logical) switch.
ST Measures the number of SFP state changes This area is deprecated as of
Fabric OS v7.0. To configure SFP State Changes, use the fwFruCfg
command.
PWRONHRS Measures the number of operational hours (power-on hours) for the SFP.
This class is supported only for 16G SFPs and QSFPs (Condor 3 ASIC), and
the only valid time base for this class is none. You can display the power-on
hours with the sfpShow command.
FABRIC Monitors the Fabric class. Valid areas for the Fabric class include the following:
ED Tracks the number of times an E_Port or VE_Port goes down.
Fabric OS Command Reference 1113
53-1003108-01

FC Tracks the number of times the fabric reconfigures.
DC Tracks the number of Domain ID changes.
SC Tracks the number of segmentation changes.
ZC Tracks the number of zoning conflicts.
FL Tracks the number of fabric logins.
SECURITY Monitors the Security class. Valid areas for the security class include the following:
TV Tracks the number of Telnet violations.
HV Tracks the number of HTTP violations.
SV Tracks the number of switch connection control (SCC) policy violations.
DV Tracks the number of device connection control (DCC) policy violations.
LV Tracks the number of login violations.
IC Tracks the number of invalid certificates.
TS Tracks the number of times the time server is out of sync.
FF Tracks the number of Fibre Channel link access protocol (FLAP) violations.
NF Tracks the number of times the switch has lost contact with the primary FCS.
ISB Tracks the number of times the switch encounters an incompatible security
database
IV Tracks the number of times a command permitted only on the primary Fibre
Channel Switch (FCS) is executed on another switch.
FILTER Monitors the Filter Performance Monitor class. Valid areas for the filter class
include the following:
PERFPT Customer defined performance areas. You can specify any filter monitor to be
tracked by Fabric Watch. Refer to the fmMonitor command for more
information.
1114 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
thConfig

EE Monitors the End-to-End Performance Monitor class. Valid areas for the EE class
include the following:
RXP Monitors receive performance word frames traveling from the configured SID
to the DID in kilobytes.
TXP Monitors transmit performance word frames traveling from the configured DID
to the SID in kilobytes.
--set class -area areaConfigures Fabric Watch thresholds for monitoring a specified class and area.
When configuring Fabric Watch thresholds, you must specify a class and an area.
The following operands are optional and valid only with the --set option; if omitted,
the default Fabric Watch configuration is used. Default parameters vary
depending on the area and platform. Refer to the Fabric Watch Administrator's
Guide for specific details.
-timebase time_base
Specifies the time interval between two samples to be compared. Valid intervals
include the following:
day Samples are compared once a day.
hour Samples are compared once every hour.
minute Samples are compared once every minute.
none Samples are not compared.
-sfptype sfp_typeConfigures and manages thresholds and alerts for 10G SFPs, 16G SFPs and 16G
QSFPs. Fabric Watch applies thresholds based on the serial numbers of the SFP
types. If the SFP serial number cannot be determined, Fabric Watch applies
pre-Fabric OS v7.0.0 thresholds. This operand is optional and supported only on
Condor 3-based platforms; if omitted, legacy thresholds and actions apply to 8G
SPPs. Valid SFP types include the following:
16GSWL Brocade-branded 16G SFP with serial number HA.
16GLWL Brocade-branded 16G SFP with serial number HD.
QSFP Brocade-branded 16G QSFP.
10GSWL Brocade-branded 10G SFP with serial number KA.
10GLWL Brocade-branded 10G SFP with serial number KD.
-highth -value value
Specifies the high threshold value for triggering a specified alert action. To
change the default value, provide an integer value.
Fabric OS Command Reference 1115
53-1003108-01
thConfig 2
-lowth -value value
Specifies the low threshold for triggering a specified alert action. To change the
default value, provide an integer value.
-trigger above | below
Specifies the actions for in range behavior. In range is defined as the space
above the low threshold and below the high threshold.
-action actions Specifies the actions triggered by a configured event condition. Valid values
include one or more of the following actions. If more than one action is specified,
the actions must be separated by commas. To change the existing configuration
of actions, you must first issue the command with the none option to reset the
existing configuration, and then reissue the command with the new configuration
of actions.
raslog Event triggers a RASlog message.
snmp Event triggers an SNMP trap.
email Event triggers an e-mail.
portlog Locks the port log (only applicable to SFP state change area and FABRIC
class). Following an event, the port log locks to retain information about an
event, preventing the information from being overwritten as the log becomes
full.
none Event triggers no action.
-buffer value Specifies the buffer value for in range behavior. A buffer defines a zone within
which event criteria are met, rather than a single threshold value. This operand is
valid only with the -trigger options.
-nosave Prevents the configuration changes from being saved persistently. This option
allows you to make and view changes without overwriting the saved configuration.
When you use --set with the-nosave option and the switch reboots your changes
will be lost.
--apply Applies the custom or default configuration for thresholds, actions, or both. This
command allows you to toggle between custom and default settings. The
specified configuration takes effect upon execution of this command. When you
select custom, the saved configuration becomes effective. You must specify a
class and an area when applying a configuration.
--cancel Cancels a nonpersistent custom configuration. This command effectively undoes
the -nosave operation without reboot. You must specify a class and an area with
this command. Thresholds and alarm levels are optional; if omitted, all
nonpersistent configurations for the specified class and area are canceled.

--show Displays the threshold configuration or run-time status for all configured classes
and areas. You can optionally specify a class to display the threshold for all areas
in that class. Or you can specify a class and an area to display the area-specific
configuration only. When issued without operands, this command displays all
configured thresholds for all Fabric Watch classes. When issued with the -sfptype
option on Condor 3 -based platforms, this command displays an additional column
with SFP type.
The following operands are optional and valid only with the --show option.
-current Displays current values for a specified class and area, as registered by Fabric
Watch, or for all port types and areas. The output includes the class, area, port
number, circuit number if applicable, current value, Fabric Watch State, and
Monitoring State (pause or continue). The SFP type is displayed for the SFP
class. The State field reports whether the current value is above, in range, or
below (info) the configured threshold.
-only_area Displays a comprehensive listing of the specified Fabric Watch class (applicable
only to the FILTER class) and associated areas. If a class is provided, this
command displays the areas of the specified class.
The following operands are optional with the --apply, --cancel, and --show
options; if omitted, defaults are used.
-thresh_level def | cust
Configures or displays default or custom threshold configuration settings.
-action_level def | cust
Configures or displays default or custom configuration settings.
--pause | --continue arguments
Pauses or resumes monitoring. The following arguments are required:
class Specifies the class.
-area area[,area]... | all
Specifies the area. You can either specify one or more areas separated by a
comma, or you can specify all to indicate all areas.

topologyShow
2
topologyShow
Displays the unicast fabric topology.
SYNOPSIS topologyshow [domain]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the fabric topology as it appears to the local switch. The display varies
depending on the hardware configuration. The following rules apply:
•On all switches, the command displays the number of domains in the fabric and the local Domain
IDs. If translate domains are configured, existing translate domains and associated ports are
displayed.
•On an edge fabric, the command displays the following additional details for all domains in the fabric
(including local translate domains):
-All possible paths from the local switch to each of the remote domains.
-For each path, the cost, the associated output port on the local switch, the path cost, and the
number of hops from the local switch to the destination switch.
-A summary of all ports that are routed through that path.
•On a backbone fabric, the command displays details for remote domains only. Details for local
translate domains are not displayed.
•If there are two switches in the Backbone and the edge fabric is directly connected to both of those
switches, topologyshow does not display the description of the translate domain associated with
that edge fabric. In this case the translate domain is considered local to both of the switches in the
backbone.
•If there is only one switch in the backbone, no domain details are displayed (all domains are local).
Depending on the fabric, the display may contains the following fields:
Local Domain ID The domain number of local switch.
Local Translate Domain x owned by port
The port number associated with the local translate domain x.
Domain The domain number of destination switch.
Metric The cost of reaching destination domain.
Name The name of the destination switch.
Path Count The number of currently active paths to the destination domain. The maximum
number of paths supported is 16. If there are more than 16 paths, the path count
displays as 16 of number of paths available, for example, "16 of 20".
Hops The maximum number of hops to reach destination domain.
Out Port The port to which incoming frames are forwarded to reach the destination domain.
In Ports The input ports that use the corresponding out port to reach the destination
domain. This is the same information provided by portRouteShow and
uRouteShow but in a different format.

traceDump 2
traceDump
Initiates, or removes a trace dump or displays the trace dump status.
SYNOPSIS tracedump [-S]
tracedump -n [-s slot]
tracedump -r [-s slot] | -R
tracedump -c [-s slot]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to initiate a background trace dump, to remove the content of a trace dump, or to
display the dump status on the switch.
When executed without operands, this command defaults to traceDump -S.
Execution of traceDump -n generates a local trace dump locally. Use supportSave to transfer the local
trace dump to a remote host. When supportSave is used, the default remote file name format for the
trace dump file is as follows:
chassisname-S#xxs-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.type_[NEW | OLD].dmp.gz
When the traceDump -n -s command is used with an AP blade, the trace dump is generated with the
following file name format:
chassisname-S#xxs-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_dump.tar.gz
S# Indicates the slot number (0 on standalone platforms)
xxs Indicates the processor. Values are cp0, cp1, bp0, bp1, dp0, or dp1.
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
Indicates the trace dump time stamp (year-month-day-hour-minute-second).
type Indicates the tracedump type. Valid types include TRACE, BTRACE, DTRACE,
and CTRACE.
NEW | OLD Indicates a new or an old trace dump file.
dmp.gz The compressed trace dump archive file extension.
For example, the filename for a a new BFOS tracedump received from slot 10 on chassisABC would be

trunkShow
Displays trunking information.
SYNOPSIS trunkshow [-perf]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display trunking information of both E_Ports and EX_Ports. The command displays
the following fields:
Trunking Group Number
Displays each trunking group on a switch. All ports that are part of this trunking
group are displayed.
Port to port connections
Displays the port-to-port trunking connections.
WWN Displays the world wide name of the connected port.
Domain Displays the domain IDs of the switches directly connected to the physical ports.
In case of an FC Router backbone fabric interlinking several edge fabrics, the
domain ID displayed for an E_Port trunk refers to a domain of a switch within the
backbone fabric, whereas the domain ID displayed for an EX_Port trunk refers to
the domain ID of a switch in the edge fabric. Because they are independent
fabrics, it is possible that both the backbone and the edge fabric may have the
same domain ID assigned to switches. If this is the case, run switchShow to
obtain information on the port types of the local switch and the WWNs of the
remote switches. Refer to the Example section for an illustration.
deskew The difference between the time it takes for traffic to travel over each ISL
compared to the time it takes through the shortest ISL in the group plus the
minimum deskew value. The value is expressed in nanoseconds divided by 10.
The firmware automatically sets the minimum deskew value for the shortest ISL,
which is 15.
Master Displays whether this trunking port connection is the master port connection for
the trunking group.
When used with the -perf option, the command output displays the following additional information:
bandwidth The bandwidth (Rx, Tx, and the combined total for Tx+Rx) of the trunk group.
Values are displayed as either bits per second (Bps), kilobits per second (Kbps),
megabits per second (Mbps), or gigabits per second (Gbps), rounded down to the
next integer.
throughput Displays the throughput (Rx, Tx, and the combined total for Tx+Rx) of the trunk
group. Results are displayed for the previous second. Values are displayed as
either bits per second (Bps), kilobits per second (Kbps), megabits per second
(Mbps), or gigabits per second (Gbps), rounded down to the next integer.
%Displays the percentage of link utilization (Rx, Tx, and the combined total for
Tx+Rx) . Even when the link utilization is 100% , the throughput value will be
lesser than the bandwidth value, due to the 8b/10b encoding and the control
words transmitted. For example, the throughput for an 8Gbps link at 100%
utilization would be approximately 6.8Gbps.

tsClockServer 2
tsClockServer
Displays or sets the Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server addresses.
SYNOPSIS tsclockserver [ipaddr [; ipaddr ...]]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to synchronize the local time of the Principal or Primary FCS switch to one or more
external NTP servers.
This command accepts a list of NTP server addresses. The NTP server addresses can be passed in
either IPV4 or IPV6 address format or as a DNS server name. When multiple NTP server addresses are
specified, tsClockServer sets the first reachable address for the active NTP server. The remaining
addresses are stored as backup servers, which can take over if the active NTP server fails.
The time server daemon synchronizes fabric time by sending updates of the Principal or Primary FCS
local switch time periodically to every switch in the fabric. The time server daemon runs on all switches in
the fabric, but only the Principal switch (when an FCS policy is not enabled) or the Primary FCS switch
(when an FCS policy is enabled) connect to the NTP server (if specified) and broadcasts time service
updates.
All switches in the fabric maintain the current clock server IP address in nonvolatile memory. By default,
this value is LOCL., that is, the local clock of the Principal or the Primary FCS switch is the default clock
server. Changes to the clock server IP addresses on the Principal or Primary FCS switch are propagated
to all switches in the fabric.
Use this command without parameters to display the active NTP server and the configured NTP server
list. Specify the ipaddr operands to set the clock server IP addresses and enable fabric-wide clock
synchronization with the specified clock server. A value of LOCL may be specified as operand to set the
clock server back to default.
Each ipaddr specified should be the IP address of an NTP server and should be accessible from the
switch. The NTP server must support a full NTP client. When a clock server IP address other than LOCL
is specified but is not used by the fabric, a warning is displayed and logged. When a clock server IP
address other than LOCL is specified, the date command is restricted to display only. Refer to the date
command help for details.
NOTES When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be run on all switches to view the clock server value.
However, you can only modify the clock server value from the Primary FCS switch.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operand:
ipaddr Specify the IP address of the NTP server or LOCL to use the local clock of the
Principal or Primary FCS switch as the clock server. If more than one IP address
is specified, separate the IP addresses by semicolons and enclose the list in
double quotation marks. This operand is optional; if omitted, the current NTP
server configuration is displayed. The default NTP server is LOCL.
EXAMPLES To display the default clock server:
switch:admin> tsclockserver

tsTimeZone 2
tsTimeZone
Displays or sets the system time zone.
SYNOPSIS tstimezone --interactive
tstimezone timezonename
tstimezone --old hourOffset[,minuteOffset]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display or set the system time zone.
All switches maintain the current time zone setup in nonvolatile memory. Changing the time zone on a
switch updates the local time zone setup and is reflected in local time calculations.
All switches are by default in the 0,0 time zone:, which is, GMT. If all switches in a fabric are located in
the same time zone, you may leave the default time zone setup.
Time zone is used in computing local time for error reporting and logging. An incorrect time zone setup
does not affect the switch operation in any way.
System services started during the switch boot reflect a time zone change only at the next reboot.
The time zone can be specified in the following two ways, by name or in an hours and minutes offset
format:
•The offset format is specified with the --old option, followed by an hour offset value and optionally a
minute offset value.
•The time zone name format uses the timezone database, which automatically adjusts for Daylight
Saving Time.
By default, the switch is in offset mode (--old), with zero offsets, that is, time is displayed in GMT. Use
tsTimeZone timezonename to change the offset format to the timezone name format.
When executed without parameters, this command displays the current time zone configuration in the
format in which it was set.
•Negative hour offset values mean that the local time is behind GMT; for example, -8,0 is GMT-08:00.
•Positive hour offset values mean the that local time is ahead of GMT; for example, 3,0 is
GMT+03:00.
When Virtual Fabrics are enabled, the hardware clock is updated by the default switch in the chassis,
and the time zone set on any logical switch applies to all logical switches on the chassis. The
tsTimeZone command requires chassis permissions.
Because there is only one clock on the chassis, for the time server to function correctly, ensure that all
logical switches in the fabric have the same NTP Clock Server configured. This includes any Pre-v6.2.0
switches in the fabric.
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.
The option 11 (none) in interactive command mode to specify the time zone using the POSIX TZ format
is not supported.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--old Specifies the time zone in the offset format.
1134 Fabric OS Command Reference

hourOffset Specifies the number of hours relative to GMT. This operand must be specified as
an integer. Valid values are -12 to 12. This operand is required with the --old
option.
minuteOffset Specifies the number of minutes relative to hour offset. This operand must be
specified as an integer and is valid only with the --old option. Valid values are -30,
0, or 30. This operand is optional; if not specified, the value defaults to 0.
timezonename Specifies the name of a time zone from the time zone database. Use tstimezone
--interactive for a listing of valid time zone name.
--interactive Interactively sets the timezone in name format.
EXAMPLES To display the current time zone setup and then change it to GMT-3:30:
switch:admin> tstimezone

turboRamTest 2
turboRamTest
Performs a turbo SRAM test of ASIC chips.
SYNOPSIS turboramtest
[--slot slot]
[-passcnt count]
ceeturboramtest
[--slot slot]
[-passcnt count]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to verify the chip SRAM located in the ASIC using the turbo-RAM BIST circuitry. The
BIST controller is able to perform the SRAM write and read operation at a much faster rate than the PCI
operation.
The turboRamTest and ceeTurboRamTest commands are platform-specific versions of the same test.
The turboRamTest command is supported on all Goldeneye2 and Condor-based platforms. Use
ceeTurboRamTest on FCoE platforms only. On all other supported platforms, use turboramtest. Refer
to the Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Guide, Appendix A, for a table that correlates ASIC
type with switch models.
NOTES Do not abort this test prematurely, using CTRL-C or q to quit. Doing so may cause the test to report
unexpected errors. Errors may vary depending on the hardware platform.
You cannot interrupt the test by pressing the return key (<cr>).
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.
This diagnostic cannot be run on an operational switch. You must disable the switch using the
chassisDisable command before you can run this test. After the test completes, re-enable the switch
using the chassisEnable command.
OPERANDS This command has the following optional operands:
--slot slot Specifies the slot number on which the diagnostic operates. All eligible blade ports
in the specified slot are tested. This operand is optional. The default value is 0 and
operates on fixed port count products.
-passcnt count Specifies the number of times to perform this test. This operand is optional. The
default value is 1.
EXAMPLES To run the SRAM test with two passes:
switch:admin> turboramtest -passcnt 2

uRouteShow
Displays unicast routing information.
SYNOPSIS urouteshow [slot/][port] [domain]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the unicast routing information for a port, as it is known by the FSPF path
selection and routing task. The routing information describes how a frame that is received from a port on
the local switch is to be routed to reach a destination switch.
The following information displays:
Local Domain ID Domain number of local switch.
In Port Port from which a frame is received. Except for the cases in which you perform a
port swap or enable extended-edge PID (PID Format 2) on a switch, the value is
equal to the port index field displayed by the switchShow command. Refer to
Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for more information regarding the extended
edge PID format.
Domain Destination domain of incoming frame.
Out Port Port to which the incoming frame is to be forwarded. Except for the cases in which
you perform a port swap or enable extended edge PID (PID Format 2) on a
switch, the value is equal to the port index field displayed by the switchShow
command. For port swap operations, the value is equal to the switch port field
displayed by the portSwapShow command. Refer to Fabric OS Administrator's
Guide for more information regarding the extended-edge PID format.
Metric Cost of reaching the destination domain.
Hops Maximum number of hops required to reach the destination domain. If the number
of hops are different for some multiple equal cost paths (to reach the same
domain), then it displays the maximum number.
Flags Indicates rout type as either dynamic (D) or static (S). A dynamic route is
discovered automatically by the FSPF path selection protocol. A static route is
assigned using the command uRouteConfig.
Next (Dom, Port) Domain and port number of the next hop. These are the domain number and the
port number of the switch to which Out Port is connected.
The information provided by this command should match what is provided by portRouteShow and
topologyShow.

DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage user accounts on a switch. The command options and behavior depend
on your environment.
•In an Admin Domain-enabled environment, you can configure the account's username, its role, and
the Admin Domains that the account may access. An account is assigned a single role. An account
can access multiple Admin Domains, but only one Admin Domain at a time. New accounts created
take on the role specified during account creation.
•In a Virtual Fabric-enabled environment, you can configure the account's username, its role, and the
logical fabrics that the account may access. An account can have different roles for different Logical
Fabrics. An account can access multiple Logical Fabrics, but only one Logical Fabric at a time.
When executed without operands, this command displays the usage. The logical fabric command
options are displayed only if Logical Fabrics are enabled on the switch.
You can execute the userConfig command on any switch. When the command completes, account
information is saved persistently. On platforms supporting multiple switch domains, account information
is saved only to the switch domain, in which the command was executed.
Fabric OS Command Reference 1145
53-1003108-01
userConfig 2
Use the distribute command to distribute the account database manually to other switches in the fabric.
Target switches must be configured to accept the database. Accounts that are not consistent with the
distributed database are overwritten. Account recovery from backup or access to backup data is not
supported..
This command supports all user-defined roles in addition to the default roles provided with Fabric OS. To
display the user-defined roles with their associated access permissions, use the roleConfig --show -all
command. To display all roles, including the default roles, use the roleConfig --show -all -default
command.
In a Logical Fabric environment, you can additionally define access to chassis-level commands. An
account can have one role in the Logical Fabric, and another role regarding chassis commands.
NOTES The userConfig command operates on the switch-local user database only, regardless of whether the
switch is configured to use RADIUS or LDAP authentication.
The account database supports a maximum of 256 customer created accounts.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--show Displays user account information. Only accounts with access permissions
compatible with the SecurityAdmin and Admin roles can show information about
accounts other than the current login account. The following operands are
optional:

--add | --change Creates a new user account or modifies an existing user account. The following
restrictions apply when you create or modify a user account:
•You cannot change the role, the Admin Domain or Logical Fabric
permissions, the home Admin Domain or the home Logical Fabric of any
default account.
•You cannot change the role, the Admin Domain or Logical Fabric
permissions, or the description of accounts at the same or a higher
authorization level.
•You cannot change the role, the Admin Domain or Logical Fabric
permissions, or the home Admin Domain or home Logical Fabric of your own
account.
•No account can disable itself.
•Admin Domain or Logical Fabric permissions must be a subset of the
respective Admin Domain or Logical Fabric permissions of the account that
creates or modifies a user account.
•In an Logical Fabric-enabled environment, you can change the role
associated with existing Logical Fabrics but you cannot add new Logical
Fabrics or delete any existing Logical Fabrics.
•The account name cannot be the same an existing user account, a default
role, a user-defined role, or a system role. System roles are used by internal
switch processes and include the following: bin, daemon, sys, adm, tty, disk,
lp, mem, kmem, wheel, mail, news, uucp, man, dip, ftp, nobody, users, floppy,
console, utmp, and slocate. If the specified username already exists, this
command fails with an appropriate message. Choose a different username
and reissue the command.
The following operands are supported with the --add and --change option
username Specifies the login name of the account to be created or modified. Enter a valid
login name to modify an existing account. For new accounts, the name must be
unique and must begin with an alphabetic character. User names are
case-sensitive and can contain up to 40 alphanumeric characters, including
periods (.) and underscore (_) characters.
-r role In an Admin Domain-enabled environment, this operand specifies the role for the
account. In an Logical Fabric-enabled environment, this operand specifies the
account's role for all Logical Fabrics provided with the Logical Fabric list. When
you create a user account in an Logical Fabric-enabled environment, you can
specify only one role for the user. This role is associated with each of the Logical
Fabric IDs in the specified LF_ID_list. Once the account is created, you can use
the --addlf option to create another list of Logical Fabric IDs with its own set of
associated roles.
You can assign any role to the account, user-defined or default. Use the
roleconfig --show command for a listing of valid roles. This operand is required
with the --add option; it is optional with the --change option.
-h AD_ID | LF_ID Specifies the home Administrative Domain or the home Logical Fabric depending
on the environment. This operand is optional. If no Admin Domain or Logical
Fabric is specified with the --add option, the system assigns the lowest numbered
Admin Domain or Logical Fabric the user is authorized to access.

-a AD_ID_list Specifies the Administrative Domains the user is authorized to access. The Admin
Domains defined in the AD_ID_list operand and the existing Admin Domain
permissions for the user name must be a subset of the Admin Domain
permissions of the account that executes this command. This operand is optional.
If no Admin Domain list is specified with the --add option, AD0 is assigned by
default. Use comma-separated lists, ranges, or both, for example -a
0,9,10-15,244.
-l LF_ID_list Specifies the Virtual Fabrics the user is authorized to access. The Logical Fabrics
in LF_ID_list and the existing Logical Fabric permissions for username must be a
subset of the Logical Fabric permissions of the account that executes this
command. This operand is required with the --add option. It is optional with the
--change option.
-c chassis_role Specifies the account's access permissions at the chassis level. The chassis role
allows the user to execute chassis-related commands in an Logical
Fabric-enabled environment. To assign the chassis role to an account, the
executing account must have chassis-level permissions. Valid chassis roles
include the default roles and any of the user-defined roles. Use the roleconfig
--show command for a listing of valid roles.
-d description Provides a description for the new account. This operand is optional. The
maximum length is 40 printable ASCII characters. Some characters that are
interpreted by the shell (", ', ! etc.) require a preceding escape character (\). To
include spaces, place the description in double quotation marks. Colons are not
permitted.
-x Optionally specifies an expired password that must be changed the first time the
user logs into a new or modified account. This command also prompts for the
existing password.
The following optional operand is available only with the --add option:
-p password Specifies a password for the account. This operand is optional; if omitted, the
command prompts for an initial password for the account. The password must
satisfy all currently enforced password rules. By default the password is created
with the configured expiration period.
The following optional operands are available only with the --change option:
-e yes | no Enables or disables an account. Specify "yes" to enable or "no" to disable an
account. Once an account is disabled, the CLI sessions associated with the
account are terminated.
-u Unlocks the specified user account. User accounts can get locked after several
attempts to log in with an invalid password. Refer to the passwdCfg help page for
more information.
--addad | --deletead Adds one or more Admin Domains to a user account or deletes Admin Domains
from a user account. The following operands are supported:
username Specifies the account login name.

-h AD_ID Specifies the account's home Admin Domain. This operand is optional.
•If a home Admin Domain is specified with the --addad option, it must be one
of the Admin Domains defined in the AD_ID_list operand. If a home Admin
Domain is not specified and username did not previously have a home Admin
Domain, the home Admin Domain is set to the lowest numbered Admin
Domain in the user's Admin Domain permissions.
•If a home Admin Domain is specified with the --deletead option, it must be
one of the Admin Domains in the Admin Domain permissions remaining after
the Admin Domains specified in the AD_ID_list operand have been removed.
If a home Admin Domain is not specified, the current home Admin Domain
remains unchanged, if it is still in the user's Admin Domain permissions. If a
home Admin Domain is not specified and the user's current home Admin
Domain is deleted, the new home Admin Domain is set to the lowest
numbered Admin Domain in the user's Admin Domain permissions.
The existing Admin Domain permission for username, and the Admin Domains
defined in the AD_ID_list operand must be a subset of the Admin Domain
permissions of the account executing this command.

•If a home Logical Fabric is specified with the --addlf option, the home Logical
Fabric must be one of the Logical Fabrics in LF_ID_list. If a home Logical
Fabric is not specified and the account did not previously have a home
Logical Fabric, the home Logical Fabric is set to the lowest numbered Logical
Fabric in the user's Logical Fabric permissions.
•If a home Logical Fabric is specified with the --deletelf option, the home
Logical Fabric must be one of the Logical Fabrics in the Logical Fabric
permissions remaining after the Logical Fabrics specified in LF_ID_list have
been removed. If a home Logical Fabric is not specified, the current home
Logical Fabric remains unchanged, if it is still in the user's Logical Fabric
permissions. If a home Logical Fabric is not specified and the current home
Logical Fabric is deleted, the new home Logical Fabric is set to the lowest
numbered Logical Fabric in the user's Logical Fabric permissions.
The account's existing Logical Fabric permission and the LF_ID_list must be a
subset of the Logical Fabric permissions of the account executing this command.
-l LF_ID_list Specifies the logical fabric IDs to be added or deleted. Specify a range (1-5) or a
list of Admin Domain IDs separated by comma (1,2,3), or a combination of both
(1-5,7).

wwn 2
wwn
Displays the world wide name (WWN) and factory serial number of the switch or chassis.
SYNOPSIS wwn [-sn]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display the WWN associated with a switch or chassis and to display the factory
serial number. The WWN is a 64-bit number that has eight colon-separated fields each consisting of one
or two hexadecimal digits between 0 and ff. The WWN is a factory-set parameter that cannot be changed
by the end user. The WWN is used as the license ID in many cases, but the only official string to be used
for requesting licenses is the licenseidShow output. Alternately, use switchShow to display the WWN.
In addition to the WWN, all switches have a unique 24-bit Fibre Channel address that is used for
communicating with the switch. Use fabricShow to display the FC address in addition to the WWN.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-sn On enterprise-class platforms, this operand displays the chassis factory serial
number following the WWN. On standalone platforms, it displays the factory serial
number. This operand is optional; if omitted, this command displays only the
WWN for the switch or chassis.

wwnAddress
Binds an FC Port ID to a device WWN.
SYNOPSIS wwnaddress --bind [WWN] [PID]
wwnaddress --unbind [WWN]
wwnaddress --show
wwnaddress --findPID [WWN]
wwnaddress --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage address assignments for a given device world wide name. The allocation
of a PID to a specified device WWN supports the persistence of the PID based on the WWN of the device
to which the PID is bound. If the PID is not bound to a device WWN, the device can get the same or a
different PID irrespective of which port it logs in to a given switch partition.
This command fails under any of the following conditions:
•The PID is currently bound to another port through port address binding. Use portaddress --unbind
to free up the PID.
•The WWN is already bound with a different PID, or the PID is bound to another WWN. Use
wwnaddress --unbind to remove the PID-WWN binding.
•There is no space left in the WWN-PID table for an additional entry. Use wwnaddress --unbind to
free up space in the table.
The command provides a --show option that displays the currently bound address for all WWNs.
Alternately, you can use the --findPID option to display the PID currently bound to a specified WWN.
NOTES Dynamic Area Mode and WWN-Based persistent PID must be enabled on the switch before you can
assign an address with this command. Refer to configure for more information.
This command is supported only on the Brocade DCX and on the DCX-4S.
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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--bind Assigns the lower two bytes of the Fibre Channel address to the specified WWN.
WWN Specifies the WWN for the device to which the PID should be assigned.
PID Specifies the PID (the lower 16 bits of the address excluding the domain part) in
hexadecimal format to be bound to the device WWN. Note that only the upper 10
bits of the PID can be used for a unique route. Therefore, not all addresses in the
16-bit range are available.
--unbind Removes the WWN-PID binding corresponding to the specified device WWN.
WWN Specifies the WWN for the device from which to remove the PID binding.

Zones.

zone --rddelete name
zone --showTItrunkerrors
DESCRIPTION The zone command supports three types of operations: specific zone operations, management of Traffic
Isolation Zones, and management of Frame Redirect (RD) Zones.
1. Manage Zoning Operations
Use the --copy, --expunge, and --validate options to perform specific zoning operations. These
commands follow a batched-transaction model.
2. Manage Traffic Isolation (TI) Zones
Use the --create, --add, --remove, --delete, --activate,\ --deactivate, and --show options to manage
Traffic Isolation Zones.
TI zones control the flow of interswitch traffic by provisioning certain E_Ports to carry only traffic flowing
from a specific set of source ports. The provision (a.k.a TI Zone) is part of the defined zone configuration
and does not appear in the effective zone configuration. A Maximum of 255 TI Zones can be created in
one fabric.
TI zones over FCR provide the ability to lock down a request and corresponding response to the same
VE_Port tunnel for a given pair of devices in two separate fabrics. TI over FCR has two working parts:
1158 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
zone
2
• TI within edge fabric routes traffic between a real device and a Proxy device to a specified EX_Port.
• TI within backbone fabric locks down the route within the backbone fabric based on EX_Ports and
devices involved.
Use the --showTIerrors option to generate a report of potential routing problems in the local Domain. If
the command detects errors, it outputs the ID of the current domain, and for each record, it displays the
following information:
Error Type Error or Warning.
Affected Remote Domain
Domain where the traffic drop is likely to be happening.
Affected Local Port Device port shared by the TI zones.
Affected TI Zones Lists the names of the TI zones implicated in the problem.
Affected Remote Ports
Remote ports that are affected by the problem in the TI Zones.
Using TI zones in logical fabrics has several restrictions. TI zones created in logical fabrics cannot
include logical interswitch links (LISLs); only physical port numbers can be included. TI zones cannot use
the failover disabled option in Logical fabrics that have LISLs, and TI zones cannot use the failover
disabled option in Base Fabrics. For more information, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
3. Manage Frame Redirect (RD) Zones
Use the --rdcreate and --rddelete options to manage Frame Redirect Zones. RD zones allow frames to
be redirected to devices that can perform additional processing on these frames (for example,
encryption). The feature uses a combination of RD zones and Name Server changes to map real device
world wide names (WWNs) to virtual port IDs (PIDs.) This allows redirecting a flow between a host and
target to a device that can perform its functionality without reconfiguring the host and target.
The RD Zone is part of the defined zone configuration and does not appear in the effective zone
configuration. Use cfgSave to save the RD zone changes to the defined configuration. Use cfgShow to
display the RD zones.
When you create the first RD zone, two additional zone objects are created automatically: A base zone
"red_______base" and a zone configuration "r_e_d_i_r_c__fg". These additional zone objects are
required by the implementation. These zone objects must remain on the switch as long as other redirect
zones are defined. Do not remove these objects, unless redirection is no longer required and no other
redirect zones exist.
Use zone --rddelete to remove the base RD zone, "red_______base", if it is the last remaining RD zone
in the RD zone configuration, "r_e_d_i_r_c__fg." When the base zone is removed, the RD zone
configuration is removed as well.
NOTES Device ports are allowed to be part of several TI zones to support enhanced TI zone deployment in
FICON environments.
You cannot swap E_Ports that are configured as part of a TI zone. The TI zone information is lost when
you use portSwap to swap the E_Ports. To work around this issue, reconfigure your TI zones rather than
swapping the E_Ports.
The current zone commands, zoneCreate, aliCreate, cfgCreate, etc., cannot be used to manage
special zones, such as TI zones or RD zones.
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.

zone 2
OPERANDS This command takes as an operand an action and its associated arguments. When executed without
operands, the command displays the usage.
--help Displays the command usage.
1. Commands for performing specific zone operations
--copy Copies a specified zone object or all zone objects from the source_AD into the
current AD. The current AD transaction buffer is used for this operation. The
following operands are optional:
source_AD Specifies the source Admin Domain of the zone objects. If unspecified, objects are
copied within the current AD.
source_zone_object
Specifies the zone object under the source_AD. The zone object can be a zone
configuration, a zone alias, or several zones. If a source zone object is not
specified, all zone configurations are copied over to the current Admin Domain.
dest_zone_object Identifies the destination zone object within the current Admin Domain. If
dest_zone_object is not specified, source_zone_object is copied over with the
same name. If the destination zone object is not already present in the Admin
Domain, one is created (with type as source_zone_object).
-f Overwrites existing zone object without confirmation.
--expunge Removes all references to the specified zone object and then deletes the zone
object. The command displays the list of zone objects to be deleted and prompts
for confirmation before deleting the zone objects. The removal of zone object
references can trigger the removal of zones not specified in the command. For
example, removing the last zone member from a zone deletes the zone, and may
trigger a recursive deletion of other zones. The following operand is required:
"zone_object"Specifies a zone object. A zone object can be a zone member, zone alias, or a
zone. The zone object must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
--validate Lists all zone members that are not part of the current zone enforcement table.
If a zone member is specified by Domain and Port (D,P) in the Admin Domain
membership list, all zone elements specified with WWNs associated with that D,P
are considered for zone enforcement. If a device WWN is specified in the Admin
Domain member list, the corresponding D,P (the device the specified WWN is
associated with) is not considered for zone enforcement.
The following operands are optional:
-f Specifies that zone members that are not enforceable should be expunged in the
transaction buffer. This pruning operation affects both the transaction buffer and
the defined buffer. You cannot specify a mode or a zone object together with the -f
option.
1160 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
zone
2
mode Specifies the zone database location. This operand is optional. If no mode option
is specified, the validated output of all the three buffers is displayed. Supported
mode flag values include the following:
0Uses the zone database from the current transaction buffer.
1Uses the zone database stored in persistent storage.
2Uses the currently enforced zone database.
"zone_object"Specifies a zone object. A zone object can be a zone member, a zone alias, or a
zone.
-i Lists all zone members for a given pattern without case distinction.
pattern A POSIX-style regular expression used to match zone members. This
operand is optional. Patterns can contain:
• A question mark (?) to match any single character.
• An asterisk (*) to match any string of characters.
• A range of characters to match any character within the range: for
example, [0-9] or [a-f].
2. Creating and managing TI Zones
Use these commands to create and manage TI Zones.
--create Creates a TI Zone with specified options and port list.
--add Adds port list members and the failover option to existing TI zones.
--remove Removes port list members from existing zones. Removal of the last member
from an active TI zone generates a warning. If the last member of a TI zone is
removed, the TI zone name is removed from the defined TI zone list.
The following operands are supported:
-t objecttype Specifies the zone object type. This operand is supported only with the --create
option. To create a TI zone, the value is ti.
-o optlist Specifies list of options to control activation, deactivation, and failover mode. If this
option is not specified the zone is created, by default, with failover enabled, and
the zone will be activated. This operand is supported only with the --create and
--add options.
Valid values for optlist include the following:
aActivates the specified zone.
dDeactivates the specified zone.
Fabric OS Command Reference 1161
53-1003108-01
zone 2
nDisables failover mode. In non-failover mode, when the last interswitch link
(ISL) of a TI Zone goes offline and there is an alternative ISL, the alternative
ISL is not used and the switch generates a state change notification (SCN) or
a registered state change notification (RSCN) to indicate that no ISL is
available. When the ISL of the TI Zone comes online again, the route is set up
again and the switch generates another SCN or RSCN. TI zones with
no-failover option are not supported in logical fabrics. TI zones defined in the
Base Fabric for logical fabric traffic need to allow failover.
fEnables failover mode. In failover mode, when the last ISL of a TI Zone goes
offline and there is an alternative ISL, the alternative ISL is used and the
switch does not generate any SCN or RSCN messages. If the ISL of that TI
Zone comes online again, traffic is rerouted immediately to the original ISL.
name Specifies the name of the zone to be created, added or deleted
-p portlist Specifies the lists of ports to be included, added or removed from a TI zone. The
syntax for portlist is "D,I" (Domain, Index). The port list must be enclosed in double
quotation marks. List members must be separated by semicolons, followed by a
space. When you create TI zones over FCR, for a TI within an Edge fabric use
"-1"in "I" (of "D,I") in to denote Front and Translate phantom in the E_Port list.
When creating a TI zone within the Backbone fabric specify "Port WWN" in portlist
to indicate devices talking across fabrics.
--activate name Activates the specified TI zones. If more than one zone is specified, the list of
zone names must be enclosed in double quotation marks; zone names must be
separated by semicolons.
--deactivate name Deactivates the specified TI zones. If more than one zone is specified, the list of
zone names must be enclosed in double quotation marks; zone names must be
separated by semicolons.
--delete name Deletes TI zones from the defined TI zone lists. This command prompts for
confirmation.
--show [name]Displays zone name, port lists, failover option, configured status and, the active
status for the specified zones. The configured status reflects the latest change
that may or may not have been activated. The active status reflects the state that
is activated by cfgEnable. Without any specified name, this command displays all
TI zones in the defined configuration. The following operands are optional:
-ic Displays all TI zone configurations for a given zone name without case distinction.
-ascending Displays the TI zone members in ascending order.
--showTIerrors Analyzes real and potential routing problems with the activated TI zoning set and
prints a report. This command must be executed in the local domain and analyzes
only that domain.
--showTItrunkerrors Displays details of the trunk members present in the TI zone and those not
present in the TI zone.

3. Creating and managing RD Zones
--rdcreate Creates a RD Zone for the specified members. The following operands are
required:
host_wwn Specifies the port world wide name of the host.
target_wwn Specifies the port world wide name of the target.
vi_wwn Specifies the port world wide name of the virtual initiator (VI).
vt_wwn Specifies the port world wide name of the virtual target (VT).
policy restartable | nonrestartable
Specifies the policy as either restartable or nonrestartable. A restartable policy
causes traffic flow to revert to the physical host and target configuration in the
event the virtual device should fail. When the policy is specified as nonrestricted
and one of the virtual devices goes offline, the physical devices are considered
offline and no traffic is allowed between the original host and target.
FCR | noFCR Indicates whether or not this RD zone should function across a Fibre Channel
router (FCR). Specify FCR to support FCR. Specify noFCR if you do not wish to
support FCR.
--rddelete name Deletes the RD Zone specified by name. RD Zones are unique in that the zone
name is not user-defined. It is derived based on members and the specified
configuration. Use cdfgShow to display currently implemented RD zone by name.
EXAMPLES 1. Specific zone operation commands
The following example shows a scenario of an invalid configuration. If you attempt to create a zone z10
with an alias a10, then create a zone with name a10, z10 expects a10 to be an alias and results in an
invalid configuration.
To validate all zones in the currently enforced zone database:
switch:admin> zonecreate z10,a10

The reason for not being in the current enforcement table could be one of the following:
•The device is not online.
•The device is online but is not Admin Domain-aware.
•The device is online but it is not part of the current Admin Domain.
To copy the cur_cfg1 zone configuration from the root zone database (AD0) to the current Admin

zoneAdd 2
zoneAdd
Adds a member to the zone.
SYNOPSIS zoneadd "zoneName", "member[;member...]"
DESCRIPTION Use this command to add one or more members to an existing zone.
This command changes the defined configuration. For the change to be preserved across switch
reboots, save the configuration to nonvolatile memory with the cfgSave command. For the change to
become effective, enable the configuration with the cfgEnable command.
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.
When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.
OPERANDS The following operands are required:
"zoneName"Specify the name of an existing zone. Double quotation marks are optional.
"member"Specify a member or list of members to be added. The list must be enclosed in
double quotation marks. Members must be separated by semicolons. Members
can be specified in one or more of the following ways:
•A switch domain and port index number pair; for example, "2, 20". Use
switchShow for a listing of valid port index numbers.
•Node or port WWN.
•Zone alias name.
•Zone alias pattern. Use a pattern preceded by the wildcard symbol asterisk
(*) to include members in the zone that matches the pattern.
EXAMPLES To add aliases for three disk arrays to "Blue_zone":
switch:admin> zoneadd "Blue_Zone", "array3; array4; array5"

zoneCreate 2
zoneCreate
Creates a zone.
SYNOPSIS zonecreate "zonename", "member[;member...]"
DESCRIPTION Use this command to create a new zone, or to create a "broadcast" zone.
A broadcast zone is a special zone that specifies the nodes that can receive broadcast traffic. This zone
must be named "broadcast". Only one "broadcast" zone can exist within a fabric. This type of zone is
enforced by the hardware; the switch controls the data transfer to a port.
This command changes the defined configuration. For the change to be preserved across switch
reboots, save it to nonvolatile memory with the cfgSave command. For the change to become effective,
enable the zone configuration with the cfgEnable command.
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.
When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.
OPERANDS The following operands are required:
"zonename"Specify a unique name for the zone to be created. Double quotation marks are
optional. A zone name must begin with a letter and followed by any number of
letters, numbers, or underscore characters. Names are case-sensitive. For
example, "Zone_1" and "zone_1" indicate different zones. Zone names are limited
to 64 characters. Spaces are ignored.
"member"Specify a member or a list of members to be included in the zone. The list must be
enclosed in double quotation marks. Members must be separated by semicolons.
The list must have at least one member; empty lists are not allowed.
A member can be specified in one or more of the following ways:
•Domain and port index pair: Specify a port by domain and port index, for
example, "2, 20" specifies port index 20 on switch domain 2. When a zone
member is specified by port index, all devices connected to that port are in
the zone. If this port is an arbitrated loop, then all devices on the loop are in
the zone. Use switchShow for a list of valid port index numbers.
•World wide name: Specify a world wide name as eight hex numbers
separated by colons, for example "10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a". Zoning
compares the WWN with the node and port names presented by a device in a
login frame (FLOGI or PLOGI). When a zone member is specified by node
name, then all ports on that device are in the zone. When a zone member is
specified by port name, then only that single device port is in the zone.
•Zone alias name: Specify a zone alias name using the same format as a
zone name. Refer to aliCreate command help for zone alias naming
requirements.
•Zone alias pattern: Use a pattern preceded by the wildcard symbol asterisk
(*) to include members in the zone that matches the pattern.
1172 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
zoneCreate
2
When creating a zone, you can combine different ways of specifying zone members. For example, a
zone defined with the following members: "2,12; 2,14; 10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a" contains all devices
connected to switch 2, ports 12 and 14, and to the device with the world wide name
"10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a" (either node name or port name), at the port in the fabric to which it is
connected.
EXAMPLES To create three zones using a combination of port numbers and zone aliases:
switch:admin> zonecreate "Purple_zone", "1,0"
switch:admin> zonecreate "Blue_zone", "1,1; array1; 1,2; array2"
switch:admin> zonecreate "Green_zone", "1,0; 1,2; array2"
To create zone with the specified zone alias and to include the members that matches a pattern:
switch:admin> zonecreate sloth, "b*; 10:00:00:00:01:1e:20:20"
switch:admin> cfgshow

zoneShow
Displays zone information.
SYNOPSIS zoneshow [--sort] [pattern][, mode]
zoneshow [--ic] [pattern][, mode]
zoneshow [--transdiffs]
zoneshow [--transdiffsonly]
zoneshow --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to display zone configuration information. This command includes sorting and search
options to customize the output. If a pattern is specified, the command displays only matching match
zone configuration names in the defined configuration. When used without operands, the command
displays all zone configuration information for the Defined and the Effective configuration.
Use the --transdiffs and --transdiffsonly options to view changes in the current transaction.
The command output displays the changes in the current transaction by the following notations:
•An asterisk(*) before any tag indicates a change in that zone, zone configuration, alias or any other
entity in the zone configuration.
•A plus(+) before any entity indicates that it is a newly added entity.
•A minus(-) before any entity indicates that it is a deleted entity.
Refer to cfgShow for a description of this display.
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.
When FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued on any FCS switch in the fabric.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--sort Displays D,I zone members in ascending order.
--ic Displays all zone configuration names for a given pattern without case distinction.
pattern A POSIX-style regular expression used to match zone configuration names. This
operand is optional. Patterns can contain:
•A question mark (?) to match any single character.
•An asterisk (*) to match any string of characters.
•A range of characters to match any character within the range: for example,
[0-9] or [a-f].
mode Specify 0 to display the contents of the transaction buffer (the contents of the
current transaction), or specify 1 to display the contents of the nonvolatile
memory. The default value is 0. This operand is optional.
--transdiffs Displays the changes in the current transaction.

Command Availability
Command validation checks
Before a command is executed, it is validated against the following checks.
1. Active or Standby availability: On enterprise-class platforms systems, checks that the
command is available on the Control Processor (CP).
2. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) availability: Checks that the invoking user’s role is permitted
to invoke the command. If the command modifies system state, the user's role must have
modify permission for the command. If the command only displays system state, the user's role
must have observe permission for the command. Some commands both observe and modify
system state and thus require observe-modify permission. The following RBAC permissions are
supported:
•O = Observe
•OM = Observe-modify,
•N = None or not available
3. Admin Domain availability: If Admin Domains are enabled, the system checks that the
command is allowed in the currently selected Admin Domain. For information on Admin
Domain concepts and restrictions, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
Admin Domain types are one or more of the following. If more than one AD type is listed for a
command, the AD type is option- specific. Display options may be allowed, but set options may
be subject to Admin Domain restrictions.
•SwitchMember = Allowed to execute only if the local switch is part of the current AD.
•Allowed = Allowed to execute in all ADs.
•PhysFabricOnly = Allowed to execute only in AD255 context (and the user should own
access to AD0-AD255 and have admin RBAC privilege).
•Disallowed = Allowed to execute onlyin AD0 or AD255 context; not allowed in AD1-AD254
context.
•PortMember = All control operations allowed only if the port or the local switch is part of
the current AD. View access allowed if the device attached to the port is part of the current
AD.
•AD0Disallowed = Allowed to execute only in AD255 and AD0 (if no ADs are configured).
•AD0Only = Allowed to execute only in AD0 when ADs are not configured.
4. Virtual Fabric availability: If Virtual Fabrics are enabled, commands are checked for context
and switch type as follows:
•Virtual Fabric context (VF) = Command applies to the current logical switch only, or to a
specified logical switch.
1188 Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1003108-01
Command Admin Domain and Virtual Fabrics restrictions
A
Virtual Fabric commands are further constrained by one of the following switch types:
-All Switches (All) = Command can be run in any switch context.
-Base Switch (BS) = Command can be run only on the base switch.
-Default Switch (DS) = Command can be run only on the default switch.
-N/A = Switch type is not applicable to the command.
•Chassis context (CH) = Command applies to the chassis on which it is executed.
•Switch and Chassis context (VF/CH) = Command applies to the switch and the chassis.
•Disallowed = Command cannot be executed when Virtual Fabrics are enabled.
5. Command-specific: Checks whether the command is supported on the platform for which it is
targeted.
NOTE
To determine RBAC permissions for a specified command and associated major options,use the
classConfig --showcli command. Refer to Chapter 1, “Using Fabric OS Commands” for more
information.
