2 lfCfg 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 Numeric identifer for the chassis. Chassis WWN Chassis world wide name. Base Switch WWN 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. Base Domain The domain ID of the base switch. Number of Partitions 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. Logical Switch Numeric identifier for the logical switch within the chassis. Fabric Id The logical switch fabric ID (FID). State The state of the logical switch: Online or Offline. Switch WWN The logical switch world wide name. 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 Fabric ID of the logical switch. Port Number of the logical LISL port. 418 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001186-01
