Changing the RBridge ID
If you are going to have more than one device in a fabric, each device must have a unique RBridge ID.
The default RBridge ID for the device 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. If you have made any
other configuration changes you want to persist, be sure to save your running configuration to the
startup configuration before running the vcs rbridge-id rbridge-id command as this command reboots
the device.
1. Log on to the device using the admin account (the default password is password).
2. Enter the vcs rbridge-id rbridge-id command.
device# vcs rbridge-id 2
This operation will change the configuration to default and reboot the switch. Do
you want to continue? [y/n]:y
3. Enter y .
The reply to the command will include a line about the setting of the RBridge ID.
Successfully set rbridge-id.
Assigning permanent passwords
The factory-configured default accounts on the device are "admin," "user," and "root". Use the default
administrative account as shown in the following table to log in to the device for the first time and to
perform the basic configuration tasks.
The root account, disabled by default, is reserved for development and manufacturing. The user
account is read-only and intended primarily for system monitoring.
