fabricShow
Displays fabric membership information.
Synopsis fabricshow
Description Use this command to display information about switches in the fabric.
If the switch is initializing or is disabled, the message “no fabric” is displayed. In the case of a
mixed fabric, fabricshow must be run from a 5.3.0 switch; otherwise, IPV6 information is lost
because switches prior to 5.3.0 do not recognize an IPV6 configured switch. Running this
command on an FCR or edge fabric will not give any router information; running this command on
edge switch will give router information.
If the fabric is reconfiguring, some or all switches might not be displayed; otherwise, the following
fields are displayed:
Switch ID The switch Domain_ID and embedded port D_ID
World Wide Name The switch WWN
Enet IP Addr The switch Ethernet IP address for IPv4 and IPv6 configured switches. For
IPv6 switches, only the static ipaddress displays.
FC IP Addr The switch FC IP address
Name The switch symbolic name. An arrow (>) indicates the principal switch.
FC Router IP Addr The IP address of the FC router. This field will be empty if the switch is not an
FC Router of it the FC Router does not support it.
FC Router Name The FC Router symbolic name. This field will be empty if the switch is not an
FC Router of it the FC Router does not support it.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
Operands This command has the following operands:
-m Displays fabric membership information with additional details of the FC
Router, if present in the fabric.
