fabricShow
Displays fabric membership information.
Synopsis fabricshow
Description Use this command to display information about switches in the fabric.
If the switch is initializing or is disabled, the message “no fabric” is displayed. In a mixed fabric,
fabricshow must be executed on a switch that runs Fabric OS v5.3.0 or later; otherwise, IPv6
information is lost, since switches running earlier versions do not recognize an IPv6-configured
switch.
Running this command on an FCR or edge switch does not provide any router information; running
this command on an edge switch with the -m option does provide router information.
If the fabric is reconfiguring, some or all switches may not be displayed; otherwise, the following
fields are displayed:
Switch ID The switch Domain_ID and embedded port D_ID.
World Wide Name The switch WWN.
Enet IP Addr The switch Ethernet IP address for IPv4 and IPv6 configured switches. For
IPv6 switches, only the static IP address displays.
FC IP Addr The switch FC IP address.
Name The switch symbolic name. An arrow (>) indicates the principal switch.
FC Router IP Addr The IP address of the FC router. This field is empty if the switch is not an FC
Router or it the FC Router does not support it.
FC Router Name The FC Router symbolic name. This field is empty if the switch is not an FC
Router or it the FC Router does not support it.
Operands This command has the following operands:
-m Displays fabric membership information with additional details of the FC
Router, if present in the fabric.
Examples The following example illustrates a fabric of four switches. "sw180" is the Principal switch. Three of
the switches are configured to run IP over Fibre Channel.
