Fabricshow - Brocade Communications Systems 8 Command Reference Manual

fabricShow

Displays fabric membership information.
Synopsis fabricshow [-membership | -chassis ]
fabricshow -help
Description Use this command to display information about switches in the fabric.
If the switch is initializing or is disabled, the message "no fabric" is displayed. In a mixed fabric,
fabricshow must be executed on a switch that runs Fabric OS v5.3.0 or later; otherwise, IPv6
information is lost, since switches running earlier versions do not recognize an IPv6-configured
switch.
Running this command on an FCR or edge switch does not provide any router information; running
this command on an edge switch with the -m option does provide router information.
If the fabric is reconfiguring, some or all switches may not be displayed; otherwise, the following
fields are displayed depending on the command option used:
Switch ID
World Wide Name
Enet IP Addr
FC IP Addr
Name
FC Router IP Addr
FC Router Name
Chassis WWN
Chassis Name
Note 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:
