Adding and moving ports on a logical switch
You add ports to a logical switch by moving the ports from one logical switch to another. To remove a
port from a logical switch, you must move the port to a different logical switch. You cannot just remove
it.
When you move a port from one logical switch to another, the port is automatically disabled.
Moving ports affects performance monitors.
• Any performance monitors that were installed on the port are deleted. If monitors are required on
the port in its new location, you must manually reinstall them on the port after the move.
• If the logical switch to which the port is moved has fabric mode Top Talkers enabled, then if the port
is an E_Port, fabric mode Top Talker monitors are automatically installed on that port.
If you are deploying ICLs in the base switch, all ports associated with those ICLs must be assigned to
the base switch. If you are deploying ICLs to connect to default switches (that is, XISL use is not
allowed), the ICL ports should be assigned (or left) in the default logical switch.
See Supported platforms for Virtual Fabrics on page 280 for port restrictions.
1. Connect to the physical chassis and log in using an account with the chassis-role permission.
2. Enter the lsCfg command to move ports from one logical switch to another.
lscfg --config fabricID -slot slot -port port
The ports are assigned to the logical switch specified by fabricID and are removed from the logical
switch on which they are currently configured.
If the -port option is omitted, all ports on the specified slot are assigned to the logical switch.
NOTE
On the Brocade DCX and DCX 8510-8, the lscfg command does not allow you to add ports 48-63
of the FC8-64 and FC16-64 blades to the base switch. These ports are not supported on the base
switch. The Brocade DCX-4S and DCX 8510-4 do not have this limitation.
3. Enter y at the prompt.
The ports are automatically disabled, then removed from their current logical switch, and assigned
to the logical switch specified by fabricID.
Example of assigning ports 18 through 20 to the logical switch with FID 5
sw0:FID128:admin> lscfg --config 5 -port 18-20
This operation requires that the affected ports be disabled.
