Fabricname - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade 8/12c Command Reference Manual

fabricName

Configures the fabric name parameter.
SYNOPSIS
fabricname --set fabric_name
fabricname --clear
fabricname --show
fabricname --help
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to configure a name for the fabric.
With Virtual Fabrics it is not uncommon to have multiple fabrics in a single chassis. These logical fabrics
are identified by their Fabric ID. With the fabricName command, you can address a fabric by name. This
command provides an option for addressing fabrics by name. However, the fabric name does not replace
the FID; the functionality of the FID is unaffected by the fabric name.
NOTES
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.
Fabric name support requires Fabric OS v7.0.0 firmware and will be lost on downgrade.
OPERANDS
This command has the following operands:
--set fabric_name
--clear
