Configuring a switch in fabric cluster mode
Refer also to Fabric cluster mode on page 57. When you issue the show vcs command to display the
VCS configuration for the chassis, the command output shows a single-node VCS with a VCS ID of 1
and an RBridge ID of 1. Use the vcs command to change the default values.
switch0# show vcs
Config Mode : Local-Only

Configuring a switch in standalone mode
When you display the VCS configuration for a compact switch in default mode, it shows that VCS
mode is disabled. Always confirm the status of a switch before making configuration changes.
switch# show vcs
state: Disabled
Refer also to Standalone mode on page 58.
Displaying switch interfaces
Interfaces on the VDX 8770 platform are identified by the RBridge ID, slot number, and port number,
separated by forward slashes (/). For example, the notation 9/2/8 indicates port 8 located in slot 2 on a
chassis with the RBridge ID of 9.
Enter the show running-config interface interface_type command to display the interfaces and their
status.
switch# show running-config interface tengigabitethernet
