• Brocade ISL Trunking - Optimizes performance in multi-switch SAN fabrics. When two or more adjacent ISLs are used to connect two switches, the switches automatically group the ISLs into a single logical ISL, or “trunk.” Up to eight ISLs can be combined into a single logical ISL with a total bandwidth of 32 Gbit/sec that can support any number of devices.
NOTE For more information about licensed features refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. Getting technical help Contact your switch support supplier for hardware, firmware, and software support, including product repairs and part ordering. To expedite your call, have the following information available: 1.
If you cannot use the wwn command because the switch is inoperable, you can get the WWN from the same place as the serial number, except for the Brocade DCX. For the Brocade DCX, access the numbers on the WWN cards by removing the Brocade logo plate at the top of the nonport side of the chassis.

Chapter Using Fabric OS Commands This chapter explains how to manage a Brocade SAN and Brocade switches and directors using the Fabric OS command line interface (CLI). The following topics discussed: • “Understanding role-based access control” on page 1 • “Understanding admin domain restrictions”...
Understanding admin domain restrictions Understanding admin domain restrictions A subset of Fabric OS commands is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. In order to execute an AD restricted command on a switch or device, the switch or device must be part of a given Admin domain, and the user must be logged into that Admin Domain.
Page 29
Using the command line interface The documentation for each command includes a synopsis of its syntax, a description of command use, and a set of examples. The same information can be accessed by issuing help command on a Brocade switch or director. This command displays the help page for the specified command. For example, to display the help page for ad, type: switch:admin>...

aaaConfig The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, “Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions” and Appendix A, “Command Availability” for details. Operands This command takes as input an action and its associated arguments. Without any specified action, the command prints out the usage.
Page 33
aaaConfig Valid protocols are one of the following: Password Authentication Protocol chap Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol peap-mschapv2 Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (requires Fabric OS v5.3.0 or later) The distinction between protocols is only applicable to the packets between a system and the RADIUS server. Between the user and system, passwords are always used.
Page 34
aaaConfig “ldap” When ldap is specified, the first ADir server is contacted. If the ADir server is not reachable, the next ADir server is contacted. If the authentication fails, the authentication process does not check for the next server in the sequence.

Page 36
All switches, switch ports and devices in the fabric that are not specified in any other Admin Domain are treated as implicit members of AD0. Members added to AD0 are called explicit members. When a new Admin Domain is created, the members included in the new Admin Domain are automatically removed from the implicit member list of AD0.
Page 37
--deactivate arg Deactivates an Admin Domain. This operation fails if an effective zone configuration exists under the Admin Domain. This operation is not allowed on AD0. ad --deactivate does not disable any ports. Existing logins to a deactivated Admin Domain are not terminated; however, subsequent CLI execution is disallowed.
Page 38
--show arguments Displays the membership information of the specified Admin Domain or all Admin Domains. When executed in an AD255 context and an Admin Domain name is not specified, all information about all existing Admin Domains is displayed. When executed in an AD0-AD254 context, the command, by default, displays the members of the current Admin Domain’s effective configuration, and therefore you cannot specify an ad_id or mode.
Page 39
-d “dev_list” Specifies the list of devices in an Admin Domain, in quotation marks. Separate each entry in the device list with a semicolon (;). Valid formats include: D,PI Uses existing zone D,PI member types. Benefits include: • Grants port control and zoning on the switch port and the devices attached to that port.

zone 3. Use the --rdcreate and --rddelete options to manage Frame Redirect (RD) Zones. RD zones allow frames to be redirected to devices that can perform additional processing on these frames (for example, encryption). The feature uses a combination of RD zones and Name Server changes to map real device WWNs to Virtual PIDs.
Page 727
zone --expunge Removes all references to the specified zone object and then deletes the zone object. The command displays the list of zone objects to be deleted and prompts you before deleting. The removal of the zone object could result in other zone object removal, triggering a recursive deletion.
Page 728
zone The following operands are supported: objecttype Specifies the zone object type. This operand is supported only with the --create option. To create a TI zone, the value is ti. -o optlist Specifies list of options to control failover mode. If this option is not specified the zone is created, by default, with failover enabled, and the zone will be activated.
Page 729
zone policy restartable | nonrestartable Specifies the policy as either restartable or nonrestartable. A restartable policy causes traffic flow to revert to the physical host/target configuration in the event the virtual device should fail. When policy is specified as nonrestricted and one of the virtual devices goes offline, the physical devices are considered as offline and no traffic is allowed between the original host and target.
