NOTE

If you are in the context of the logical switch with the fabric ID you want to change, you are automatically logged out when the

fabric ID changes. To avoid being logged out, make sure you are in the context of a different logical switch from the one with

the fabric ID you are changing.

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

2. Enter the lsCfg command to change the fabric ID of a logical switch:

lscfg --change fabricID -newfid newFID

3. Enter y at the prompt.

4. Enable the logical switch.

fosexec --fid newFID -cmd "switchenable"

Example of changing the fabric ID on the logical switch from 5 to 7

sw0:FID128:admin> lscfg --change 5 -newfid 7

Changing of a switch fid requires that the switch be disabled.

Would you like to continue [y/n]?: y

All active login sessions for FID 5 have been terminated.

Checking and logging message: fid = 5.
