Customizing the switch name

Switches can be identified by IP address, Domain ID, WWN, or by customized switch names that are

unique and meaningful.
Version 4.0.0 (and later) switch names can be from 1 to 15 characters long, must begin with a letter, and

can contain letters, numbers, or the underscore character. It is not necessary to use quotation marks.
The default names are the following:

For the 4/8 SAN Switch, 4/16 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN Switch

2/32, Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem, and SAN Switch 4/32: the name is

swd77

.

For the Core Switch 2/64: the name varies depending on the number of logical switches. The two

logical switches have different default names. The name

swd77

is used for the logical switch

containing the port blades in slots 1 through 4;

swd76

is used for the logical switch containing the

port blades in slots 7 through 10.

For the SAN Director 2/128 and the 4/256 SAN Director: the name is

swd77

.

NOTE:

Changing the switch name causes a domain address format Registered State Change

Notification (RSCN) to be issued.
