Configuring Metro VCS using the long-distance-isl element
9
1. Issue the <edit-config> RPC to configure the <interface> node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace.
2. Under the <interface> node, include the <tengigabitethernet> node element.
3. Under the <tengigabitethernet> node, include the following leaf element.
a. In the <name> element, specify the name of the interface you want to configure for long
distance operation. Specify the name in [rbridge-id/]slot/port format.
b. In the <long-distance-isl> element, specify the length of the ISL connection in meters.
Valid values are 2000, 5000, and 10000.
The following example sets port 1/0/2 to be a 5 Km port.
<rpc message-id="1203" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<edit-config>
<target>
<running/>
</target>
<config>
<interface xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">
<tengigabitethernet>
<name>1/0/2</name>
<long-distance-isl>5000</long-distance-isl>
</tengigabitethernet>
</interface>
</config>
</edit-config>
</rpc>
<rpc-reply message-id="1203" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">

Disabling a fabric ISL
Disabling a fabric ISL takes the interface out of the trunk group if this interface is currently part of
the trunk. If you know and would like to fix the edge and fabric port assignments on a switch, then
this operation allows you to completely turn off ISL formation logic and shorten any link bring-up
delays on edge ports.
To disable a fabric ISL, issue the following RPC.
<rpc message-id="1204" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<edit-config>
<target>
<running/>
</target>
<config>
<interface xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface">
<tengigabitethernet>
<name>1/0/2</name>
<fabric xmlns=”urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-fcoe”>
<fabric-isl>
<fabric-isl-enable
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"
operation="delete"/>
</fabric-isl>
</fabric>
