Customizing the Chassis Name and Switch Name

Changing the chassis and switch names is important for uniquely distinguishing and identifying the device and for
accurate tracking of logs and errors. The messages that appear in the log are labeled with the switch name or chassis
name, which makes tracking the errors much easier. Specify an easily understandable and meaningful name for the
chassis and switch.
Perform the following steps to change the chassis name and then the switch name.
1. Log on to the device through Telnet using the admin account.
2. Change the chassis name by using the chassisName command.
device:admin> chassisname Chassis_001
3. Change the switch name by using the switchName command.
device:admin> switchname Switch_001

Establishing an Ethernet Connection

Perform the following steps to establish an Ethernet connection to the device.
1. Remove the plug from the Ethernet port.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the device Ethernet port and to the workstation or to an Ethernet network that connects
the workstation.
NOTE
At this point, the device can be accessed remotely, using either the command line or Brocade Web Tools.
Ensure that the device is not being modified from any other connections during the remaining tasks in this
chapter. The Ethernet management port also supports Auto MDI/MDIX.

Setting the Domain ID

Perform the following steps to set the switch domain ID.
1. Log on to the switch through Telnet using the admin account.
2. Modify the domain ID if required.
The default domain ID is 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default
domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. If the switch is
connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.
To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, enter the fabricShow command on another switch in the fabric.
