Fabric name
You can assign a alphanumeric name to identify and manage a logical fabric that formerly could
only be identified by a fabric ID. The fabric name does not replace the fabric ID or its usage. The
fabric continues to have a fabric ID, in addition to the assigned alphanumeric fabric name.

Configuring the fabric name
To set and display the fabric name, use the fabricname command as shown in the following
example:
switch:user> fabricname --set myfabric@1
Using the fabricname
synchronizes it across the entire fabric. An error message displays if no name is configured.
To set a fabric name that includes spaces, enclose the fabric name in quotes, as shown here:
switch:user> fabricname --set "my new fabric"
To set a fabric name that includes bash special meta-characters or spaces, use the command
fabricname as shown in the following example:
switch:user> fabricname --set 'red fabric $$'
To clear the fabric name, use the fabricname
High availability considerations for fabric names
Fabric names locally configured or obtained from a remote switch are saved in the configuration
database, and then synchronized to the standby CP on dual-CP-based systems.
Upgrade and downgrade considerations for fabric names
Fabric names are lost during a firmware downgrade. No default fabric name is provided. If a fabric
name is needed, it must be configured after the upgrade.
Config file upload and download considerations for fabric names
A new key, "fabric name" is added to store the user configuration. You can only configure fabric
names using config download when the switch is offline.

You must have admin permissions to configure the fabric name.
