Changing The Switch Name; Changing The Switch Domain Id; Viewing And Printing A Switch Report - Brocade Communications Systems 8 Administrator's Manual

Changing the switch name

Switches can be identified by IP address, domain ID, World Wide Name (WWN), or switch names.
Names must begin with an alphabetic character, but otherwise can consist of alphanumeric,
hyphen, and underscore characters. The maximum number of characters is 30, unless FICON
mode is enabled. When FICON mode is enabled, the maximum number of characters is 24.
NOTE
