Restrictions
• The -vf option is incompatible with the –fid, –sfid, or –all options. Any attempt to combine it
with any of the other three will fail the configupload/download operation.
• You are not allowed to modify the Virtual Fabric configuration file after it has been uploaded.
Only minimal verification is done by configdownload to ensure it is compatible, much like the
normal configdownload file.
• After the configDownload -vf command completes and reboots your switch, you must then
download the matching regular configuration using the configDownload -all command. This
ensures proper behavior of the system and logical switches.
• All of the attributes of the Virtual Fabric configuration file will be downloaded to the system and
take effect. This includes but is not limited to logical switch definitions, whether the Virtual
Fabrics feature is enabled or disabled, and the F_Port trunking ports, except the LISL ports.
The LISL ports on the system are not affected by the Virtual Fabric configuration file download.
Brocade configuration form
Use this form as a hard copy reference for your configuration information.
In the hardware reference manuals for the Brocade 48000 director, the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S
enterprise-class platform, there is a guide for FC port setting tables. The tables can be used to
record configuration information for the various blades.
