chassisConfig

Displays or sets the configuration of the Brocade 48000.

Synopsis

chassisconfig [-f][option]

Description

This command is retained for legacy reasons only. It has nothing to do with Virtual
Fabrics and chassis configuration related to the Virtual Fabric feature. The
chassisConfig command is supported ONLY on the Brocade 48000 and ONLY option 5 is
supported.

When no arguments are provided, this command displays the current configuration of the chassis
as well as the supported configuration, which is 5. When a specific option is provided to this
command, all CPs currently in the system are immediately rebooted and come up in the specified
mode. This may result in some blades being faulted as incompatible, based on the new
configuration option. When an option is not supported by the platform, this command is rejected
without causing a reboot.

One 384-port switch (Blade ID 17, 18, 24, 31, 33, 36, 39 in slots 1-4, 7-10,
Blade ID 16 in slots 5-6).

Certain configuration values that are not considered switch-based and are determined not to cause
adverse effects are left untouched. These include SSL certificates, PKI certificates, licenses, and IP
address.

When the -f (force) option is omitted, this command prompts for your consent to proceed further
with the configuration change. It also prompts you to upload the configuration data to a host so it
can be used as a guide to reestablishing the configuration data in the new mode. Use the -f option
to proceed without the interactive step.

Notes

Chassis configuration changes are disruptive and should be implemented with caution. User
account data and passwords might not be saved with configUpload. User accounts created with the
userConfig command are deleted and user accounts are reset to factory defaults.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.

Operands

This command has the following operands:

-f

If specified, forces configuration changes without prompting for confirmation
or requesting a configuration upload.

option

Specify the configuration option to apply to the chassis. The only supported
option is 5.
