vcs (logical chassis cluster mode)

Changes RBridge ID and/or VCS ID of a logical chassis cluster mode and, with the no form of the

command, converts a logical chassis cluster to a fabric cluster.

Synopsis vcs [rbridge-id rbridge-id] [vcsid vcsid]

no vcs [rbridge-id rbridge-id] [vcsid vcsid] logical-chassis enable

no vcs logical-chassis enable rbridge-id {all | range} default-config

Operands rbridge-id rbridge-id Changes the existing RBridge ID.

vcsid vcsid Changes the VCS ID. The range for this value is 1 to 8192. The default is 1.

logical-chassis enable Used with the no form of this command, transitions the node from

logical chassis cluster mode to fabric cluster mode.

rbridge-id [all | range] Specifies that you want to either convert all RBridge IDs in the logical

chassis cluster to fabric cluster mode, or that you want to convert only a

range of RBridge IDs. (You can also specify just one RBridge ID.) Ranges can

be specified with hyphens, separated by commas, or contain a mixture of

both. Do not use a space after a comma when specifying a range of IDs. For

example, to specify RBridges 5 through 10 and RBridge 15, enter: rbridge-id

5,10,15

default-config Uses the default configuration when the nodes are converted to fabric

cluster mode. This is a required parameter.

Defaults None

Command Modes Privileged EXEC mode

Description Use this command to change the RBridge ID and/or the VCS ID on a switch. At the same time, you

can change the VCS ID and transition the node from logical chassis cluster mode to fabric cluster

mode. You can also convert the cluster from logical chassis cluster mode to fabric cluster mode

without changing the RBridge ID or VCS ID.

Usage Guidelines For examples of how to use the no form of this command, referto the Examples.

Examples To change the RBridge ID to 10 and VCS ID to 35:

switch# vcs rbridge-id 10 vcsid 35

To change an RBridge ID from 8 to 10:

switch# vcs rbridge-id 10

During reboot, enter the following command on the principal node to disable the old RBridge

ID:

switch# no vcs enable rbridge-id 8
