Virtual Fabric contexts
Definition
Command applies to the current logical switch only, or to a
specified logical switch.
Command applies to the chassis on which it is executed.
Command can be executed in a logical switch context or in
a chassis context.
Command is not supported in Virtual Fabric mode.
Switch Types
Definition
Command can be executed in any switch context.
Command can be executed only on the base switch.
Command is a chassis command or not supported in
Virtual Fabric mode.
Any given role is allowed to execute all switch commands to which the role is authorized in the
account's home context. The default home context is the default logical fabric FID 128.
You can change an account's home context to a specified FID and configure the account
permissions to access additional Logical Switches specified in the user's Fabric ID list.
Accounts with user or admin permissions can be granted chassis permissions. A user account
with the chassis role can execute chassis-level commands at the user RBAC access level. An
admin account with the chassis role can execute chassis-level commands at the admin RBAC
access level.
