Setting the Brocade FC switch values to factory defaults

You must set the switch to its factory defaults to ensure a successful configuration. You must also assign each switch a unique name.

In the examples in this procedure, the fabric consists of BrocadeSwitchA and BrocadeSwitchB.

Make a console connection and log in to both switches in one fabric.
Disable the switch persistently: switchcfgpersistentdisable
This ensures the switch will remain disabled after a reboot or fastboot. If this command is not available, use the switchdisable command.
The following example shows the command on BrocadeSwitchA:
BrocadeSwitchA:admin> switchcfgpersistentdisable
The following example shows the command on BrocadeSwitchB:
BrocadeSwitchA:admin> switchcfgpersistentdisable
Enter switchname switch_name to set the switch name.
The switches should each have a unique name. After setting the name, the prompt changes accordingly.
The following example shows the command on BrocadeSwitchA:
BrocadeSwitchA:admin> switchname "FC_switch_A_1" FC_switch_A_1:admin>
The following example shows the command on BrocadeSwitchB:
BrocadeSwitchB:admin> switchname "FC_Switch_B_1" FC_switch_B_1:admin>
Set all ports to their default values by issuing the following command for each port: portcfgdefault
This must be done for all ports on the switch.
The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_A_1:
FC_switch_A_1:admin> portcfgdefault 0 FC_switch_A_1:admin> portcfgdefault 1 ... FC_switch_A_1:admin> portcfgdefault 39
The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_B_1:
FC_switch_B_1:admin> portcfgdefault 0 FC_switch_B_1:admin> portcfgdefault 1 ... FC_switch_B_1:admin> portcfgdefault 39
Clear the zoning information by issuing the following commands: cfgdisable cfgclear cfgsave
The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_A_1:
FC_switch_A_1:admin> cfgdisable FC_switch_A_1:admin> cfgclear FC_switch_A_1:admin> cfgsave
The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_B_1:
FC_switch_B_1:admin> cfgdisable FC_switch_B_1:admin> cfgclear FC_switch_B_1:admin> cfgsave
Set the general switch settings to default: configdefault
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_A_1:
FC_switch_A_1:admin> configdefault
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_B_1:
FC_switch_B_1:admin> configdefault
Set all ports to non-trunking mode: switchcfgtrunk 0
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_A_1:
FC_switch_A_1:admin> switchcfgtrunk 0
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_B_1:
FC_switch_B_1:admin> switchcfgtrunk 0
On Lenovo B6510 FC SAN switch switches, disable the Brocade Virtual Fabrics (VF) feature: fosconfig options
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_A_1:
FC_switch_A_1:admin> fosconfig --disable vf
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_B_1:
FC_switch_B_1:admin> fosconfig --disable vf

Clear the Administrative Domain (AD) configuration: ad options

The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_A_1:

FC_switch_A_1:admin> switch:admin> ad --select AD0
FC_switch_A_1:> defzone --noaccess
FC_switch_A_1:> cfgsave
FC_switch_A_1:> exit
FC_switch_A_1:admin> ad --clear -f
FC_switch_A_1:admin> ad --apply
FC_switch_A_1:admin> ad --save
FC_switch_A_1:admin> exit

The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_B_1:

FC_switch_B_1:admin> switch:admin> ad --select AD0
FC_switch_A_1:> defzone --noaccess
FC_switch_A_1:> cfgsave
FC_switch_A_1:> exit
FC_switch_B_1:admin> ad --clear -f
FC_switch_B_1:admin> ad --apply
FC_switch_B_1:admin> ad --save
FC_switch_B_1:admin> exit

Reboot the switch by issuing the following command: reboot
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_A_1:
FC_switch_A_1:admin> reboot
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_B_1:
FC_switch_B_1:admin> reboot
