lfCfg
Configures and displays logical fabrics.
Synopsis lfcfg [--show | --showall] -cfg
lfcfg [--show | --showall] -lisl [-v]
lfcfg --lislenable
lfcfg --help
Description Use this command to display logical fabric configuration information, to determine the status of
logical interswitch links (LISLs), and to enable LISLs between logical switches.
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
Chassis WWN
Base Switch WWN
Base Domain
Number of Partitions
Logical Switch
Fabric Id
State
Switch WWN
When issued with the -lisl option, the command displays the following information:
When lfcfg is issued within a logical switch context, only the conversation regarding that switch is
displayed.
FID
Port
418
Numeric identifer for the chassis.
Chassis world wide name.
World wide name of the base logical switch. The base logical switch is also
referred to as the default switch (DS). It is created by the system when logical
fabrics are enabled on the switch. The base switch cannot changed or
deleted. The default switch FID is 128.
The domain ID of the base switch.
Number of partitions configured on the base switch for which the "allow XISL
use" attribute is turned on. Each partition is a switch instance that functions
as a logical switch.
Numeric identifier for the logical switch within the chassis.
The logical switch fabric ID (FID).
The state of the logical switch: Online or Offline.
The logical switch world wide name.
Fabric ID of the logical switch.
Number of the logical LISL port.
