CLI Command Updates and Changes CLI Command Updates and Changes The commands described in this section have been added or modified since the Fabric OS v3.1.x release in June, 2003. New Command Introduced in v3.1.2 The pathInfo command was added in Fabric OS v3.1.2 pathInfo Displays routing and statistics information along a path.
CLI Command Updates and Changes Other options allow the collection of information on the reverse path or on a user-selected path (source route). For each hop, the routing information output includes the following: Hop The hop number, the local switch being hop 0. In Port The port (or area) from which the frames come. For hop 0, the source port. For a switch with blades, this is specified as the area number; otherwise, as the port number. Domain ID The domain ID of the switch.
CLI Command Updates and Changes The hop count includes all hops in the direct path from source to destination, and also all the hops in the reverse path, if reverse-path tracing is requested. The default value for the maximum hop count is 25. Basic statistics Basic statistics report variables that give an indication of ISL congestion along the path. They include the following: B/s Bytes per second.
CLI Command Updates and Changes Source route The source route option allows the user to specify a sequence of switches or ports (or areas) that the pathInfo frame has to follow to reach the destination. Therefore, the path might be different from the one the actual traffic from source to destination will take. The source route is expressed as a sequence of switches, a sequence of output ports (or areas), or a combination thereof.
CLI Command Updates and Changes destination port A port on the destination switch. pathInfo will return the state of the port (or area). The embedded port (-1) is used by default or if the user specifies a destination port that is not active. For a switch with blades, the destination is specified as the area; otherwise, as the port. -r Command output shows the reverse path in addition to the forward path.
CLI Command Updates and Changes source route Specifies a sequence of switches or ports that the pathInfo frame should traverse. Note that if an output port (or area) to the next hop is specified, then the user will not be prompted for the domain of the next switch; that is determined by the port (or area) specified. Default: no. strict source rte Specifies that the source route must be followed strictly as indicated, skipping possible intermediate switches.
CLI Command Updates and Changes The following example shows the pathInfo command invoked with all operands on the command line: web226:root> pathInfo Max hops: (1..127) [25] Domain: (1..239) [-1] 8 Source port: (0..15) [-1] Destination port: (0..255) [-1] Basic stats (yes, y, no, n): [no] y Extended stats (yes, y, no, n): [no] y Trace reverse path (yes, y, no, n): [no] Source route (yes, y, no, n): [no] Timeout: (1..30) [5] (Example continues on next two pages.)

CLI Command Updates and Changes Availability all users (display) admin (set/clear) Description This command affects the output displayed on the switch's console (serial port or telnet session). By default, quiet mode is turned off, and all switch tasks can send output to the console. Some output is caused by asynchronous events, such as the fabric reconfiguring, or by devices logging in.
CLI Command Updates and Changes switchShow The switchShow command now supports the –portcount option, which returns the number of ports on the switch. The syntax is: Synopsis switchShow, "-portcount configure The Domain, R_A_TOV, and E_D_TOV fields have changed, as follows: Fields Default Range Domain 1 varies R_A_TOV 10000 E_D_TOV * 2 to 12000 E_D_TOV 2000 1000 to R_A_TOV / 2 Commands Modified Since v3.1.x The following commands have been modified since the Fabric OS v3.1.
CLI Command Updates and Changes fabRetryShow Additional descriptions for two lines of command output have been added: “EMT Fabric Controller Mark Timestamp. ETP Exchange Trunking Parameter. portCfgGport On the SAN Switch 2/8-EL, a fabric license is required for the portcfggport command to function properly; otherwise, a “fabric support required” message displays. portCfgLongDistance portCfgislMode and portCfgLongDistance cannot both be enabled at the same time; otherwise, fabric segmentation occurs.
CLI Command Updates and Changes zonecreate The zonename operand has changed, as follows: zonename Fabric OS 3.1.3a Release Notes Name for a zone to be created, in quotation marks. This name cannot be used for any other zone objects. Zone names are limited to 64 characters.
