Removing an IP address for a Virtual Fabric

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.

2. Enter the ipAddrSet -ls command. For the

--add parameter, specify the network information in

dotted-decimal notation for the Ethernet IPv4 address with a Classless Inter-Domain Routing

(CIDR) prefix.

The following example sets an IP address for a logical switch in a Virtual Fabric with an FID of

123 in non-interactive mode with the CIDR prefix:

switch:admin> ipaddrset -ls 123 --add 11.1.2.4/24

Removing an IP address for a Virtual Fabric

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.

2. Enter the ipAddrSet -ls FID - -delete command.

switch:admin> ipaddrset -ls 123 –delete

Configuring a logical switch to use XISLs

When you create a logical switch, it is configured to use XISLs by default. Use the following

procedure to allow or disallow the logical switch to use XISLs in the base fabric.

XISL use is not supported in some cases. See “Limitations and restrictions of Virtual Fabrics” on

page 226 for restrictions on XISL use.

1. Connect to the physical chassis and log in using an account with the chassis-role permission.

2. Set the context to the logical switch you want to manage, if you are not already in that context.

setcontext fabricID

The fabricID parameter is the fabric ID of the logical switch you want to switch to and manage.

3. Enter the switchShow command and check the value of the Allow XISL Use parameter.

4. Enter the following command:

configure

5. Enter y after the Fabric Parameters prompt:

Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

6. Enter y at the Allow XISL Use prompt to allow XISL use; enter n at the prompt to disallow XISL

use:

Allow XISL Use (yes, y, no, n): y

7. Respond to the remaining prompts or press Ctrl-d to accept the other settings and exit.
