Brocade Commands

Version –command is used to find whether it is a Cisco or Brocade switch.

No Virtual concept in brocade

For Brocade we use Webtools and connectrix manager

>switchshow --- shows the switch configuration

If the switch in fabric the mode will be Bridged

If the switch is not in fabric (single switch), the mode will be Native.

4 modes of ports – online, insync, offline, no module --- nothing is connected to the port.

Automatically the ports will change to F port and E port.

>switchshow|grep No_Light --- offline ports (i.e.) free ports.

To find here the node port have logged in which port onswitch

>switchshow|more grep 50:06:01:68….

To find the ISL details

>islshow -----

To see the trunk links

>trunkshow

To see the license

>licenseshow

To configure port
>portcfgshow

Here 2 types of configuration

1. Effective Configuration --- after activation of zonset


2. Defined Configuration ----- Running configuration

We need to make the defined config as effective config to save the changes.

>cfgactvshow|more ----shows the effective configuration

>zoneshow --- shows the zones in defined and effective config

>zone : <zone name> --shows the detail of the zone.

>psshow ---- powersupply status

>fanshow---- shows the fan status

>topologyshow ---- display how switches are connected in fabric

>portcfgspeed --- to change the port config speed

In brocade it can support max of 8Gpbs

In cisco it can support a speed of 16Gbps

Auto negotiate happens if the switch founds that the initiator has more speed than the switch has and it
adjust the speed of the initiator.

>errorshow --- shows all the errors in switch based on time – health check

>supportshow --- is used to see the log files

>supportsave --- is used to store the log files in the ftp path.

>configupload --- used to upload the configuration


Zoning in Brocade:

Create Alias:

>alicreate “aliasname”,”wwpn number”

Create Zone:

>zonecreate “zonename”, “aliasnameofhba”

Add members to the zone

>zoneadd “zonename”, “aliasnameofsan”

Create Zone configuration

>cfgcreate “configname”, “zonename”

Add zone to exisiting zone configuration

>cfgadd “configname”, “zonename”

>cfgenable <configname>

save the configuration

>cfgsave

Here the changes will be saved in the defined configuration, to make the changes happen in effective
configuration re-enable the effective configuration

Zoning Scenario in Brocade :

Consider the below example.

SPA 06:OF
Brocade Switch

SPB
01:OC 01
02

>switchshow

Alias Creation

>alicreate “aliasname”, “wwpn number”

>alicreate “UNIX_HBA”, “01:OC”

>alicreate “CX_SPA”, “06:OF”

Zone Creation

>zonecreate “zonename”, “alinameofHBA; alinameofSPA”

Add members to zone

>zonecreate “zone1”, “UNIX_HBA;CX_SPA”

Create Zone configuration

>cfgcreate “cfgname”, “zonename” or

>cfgadd “cfgname”, “zonename” ---- existing zone configuration


>cfgcreate “cfg1”,”zone1”

>cfgsave ---- saves the configuration to the defined configuration

>cfgenable “cfgname” ---saves the configuration to the effective configuration.
