Changing the RBridge ID

If you are going to have more than one switch in a fabric, each switch must have a unique RBridge ID. The default RBridge ID for any Brocade VDX 8770-4 is 1. Use the vcs rbridge-id[rbridge-id]command to change the default RBridge ID. You should be in privileged EXEC mode to run the command.

Enter the vcs rbridge-id[rbridge-id]command.

switch# vcs rbridge-id 2

This operation will change the configuration to default and reboot the switch. Do you want to continue? [y/n]:y

When the confirmation question appears, answer Y.

The reply to command will include a line about the setting of the RBridge ID.

Successfully set rbridge-id.
