reboot The reboot command reboots the switch to the stored configuration in flash memory and takes about 1 1/2 minutes. The switch may be in any operational state (enabled or disabled) before rebooting. While the switch is rebooting, the Telnet session is closed and all Fibre Channel ports become inactive. If the switch was part of a fabric, the remaining switches reconfigure. switchDisable The switchDisable command is used to take the switch offline for diagnostic tests, maintenance functions, or replacing a faulty switch. You can observe and verify this process by watching the front panel LEDs change color from green to slow flashing amber as each port goes inactive. switchEnable The switchEnable command enables the switch and provides fabric information. The switch may need to be enabled after maintenance and diagnostic tests. The switch is enabled with a fabric domain ID of 1. After the fabric is reconfigured this switch is the principle address manager that is capable of assigning domain IDs to other switches in the same fabric. You can observe and verify this process by watching the front panel LEDs change color from slow flashing amber to green as each port goes active. switchName The following example shows the switchName command screen, which displays or sets the switch's name. If a new name is specified and it is enclosed in quotes, the command sets the switch to that name. If no new name is included, the command displays the switch's name. switch:admin> switchName "sw3" Updating flash... The command syntax is switchName . The switchName command displays the name of the current switch. By supplying an argument, the user may set the name of the current switch.
