Above config follows the picture earlier in this post. The logical switches dont have to have the same port assignment configuration. FID8:admin> lscfg -create 1Īfter setting up my first 5300 switch, the second one can be setup in the same way. It does not really matter in which context you create the switches, as long you have permissions to do so. I’m working with a 5300, so i’m limited to 4 logical switches at time of writing this.īesides the base switche and the default switch, i can create two more logical switches on the 5300. The number of logical switches you can create depends on the platform you use. It’s also possible to change the name of the logical switch, a base switch in this case: FID8:admin>switchname baseswitch Step 3, create the logical switches Please enable your ports/switch when you are ready to continue. This operation requires that the affected ports be disabled. Port 6 for example, as shown in the figure above. Lets also switch context to FID8 when configuring the ports for the base switch by FID128:admin>setcontext 8Ĭonfigure the port for the base switch. Please configure the Logical Switch with appropriate switchĪnd protocol settings before activating the Logical Switch.įID 8 is created, so let’s assign some ports. Logical Switch has been created with default configurations. Logical Switch with FID (8) has been successfully created. FID128:admin> lscfg -create 8 -baseĬreation of a base switch requires that the proposed new base switch on this system be disabled.Ībout to create switch with fid=8. You can see in which FID context you currently are in the identifier in front of your username. Notice we’ve got a default fabric 128 after enabling VF. WARNING: This is a disruptive operation that requires a reboot to take effect.Īll EX ports will be disabled upon reboot. Warning though!! The switch will reboot immediately after hitting “Y” admin> fosconfig -enable vf ISNS client service: Service not supported on this PlatformĮthernet Switch Service: Service not supported on this Platform ISCSI service: Service not supported on this Platform I read in the manual, VF would be enabled by default. Only ISL ports can be configured in the base switches.

The XISL will take care of the “trunking” of the fabrics on either sides. The XISL is using LWL SFPs for the 10KM distance.
