Disabling Virtual Fabrics

ATTENTION

Disabling Virtual Fabrics deletes all logical switches, returns port management to the physical
chassis, and reboots the physical chassis. If these logical switches are participating in a fabric, all
affected fabrics will be disrupted.

1. Select the physical chassis in the Chassis Group and select Configure > Virtual Fabric >

Disable.

Alternatively, you can right-click the physical chassis in the Chassis Group and select Disable
Virtual Fabric.

2. Read the warning message and click OK.

Creating a logical switch or base switch

Before you can create a logical switch, you must enable Virtual Fabrics on at least one physical
chassis in your fabric.

Optionally, you can define the logical switch to be a base switch. Each chassis can have only one
base switch.

NOTE

The 8 Gbps Extension Switch does not support base switches.

1. Select Configure > Virtual Fabric > Logical Switches.

The Logical Switches dialog box displays.
