Usage Information
You must congure a controller for the logical switch instance. The logical switch instance is disabled by default. To
establish a connection with the controller, enable the logical switch instance using the no shutdown command.
All physical and logical interfaces in the switch are assigned to the congured logical switch.
The no form of this command removes the logical switch instance.
NOTE: OS10 supports only one instance of the logical switch. If you attempt to create a second logical
switch instance, the following message appears:
% Warning: Only one Switch instance is supported
