Description Use this command to display logical fabric configuration information, to determine the status of logical interswitch
links (LISLs), to enable LISLs between logical switches, and to display information about the XISLs and LISLs
associated with each XISL.
A logical switch is a partition created on a physical switch that shares the physical resources of the base fabric while
functioning as an independent entity in a "virtual" logical fabric. The logical fabric sits on top of a base physical
fabric and ties otherwise disconnected logical switches together to share the same connectivity and physical
resources. At the same time, the logical fabric provides protocol and management isolation, and each logical fabric
is independently scalable.
The display options provided with this command show the logical fabric configuration for a given logical switch
context or for a chassis context. Each logical switch displays only the user ports that are configured to be part of
that switch instance. The switch context is defined by the fabric ID. The default context is the base logical switch
that you are placed in upon login. The default logical switch context is defined by the fabric ID 128. To change the
context, use the setContext command.
When issued with the -cfg option, this command displays the following information:
Chassis
Numeric identifier for the chassis.
Chassis WWN
Chassis world wide name.
Base switch Domain
The domain ID of the base switch.
For each logical switch, the following information is displayed:
Logical Switch
Numeric identifier for the logical switch within the chassis.
Base switch
Yes or No. This field indicates whether or not this logical switch is the base switch.
Fabric Id
The logical switch fabric ID (FID).
State
The state of the logical switch: Online or Offline.
