Changing the RBridge ID
If you are going to have more than one switch in a fabric, each switch must have a unique RBridge
ID. The default RBridge ID for any Brocade VDX 8770-4 is 1. Use the vcs rbridge-id [rbridge-id]
command to change the default RBridge ID. You should be in privileged EXEC mode to run the
command. If you have made any other configuration changes you want to persist, be sure to save
your running configuration to the startup configuration before running the vcs rbridge-id command
as this command reboots the switch.
1. Log on to the switch using the admin account (the default password is password).
2. Enter the vcs rbridge-id [rbridge-id] command.
switch# vcs rbridge-id 2
This operation will change the configuration to default and reboot the switch.
Do you want to continue? [y/n]:y
3. Enter y.
The reply to the command will include a line about the setting of the RBridge ID.
Successfully set rbridge-id.
