Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Configures the database for a VSAN.switch(config)# vsan database
Step 2
Creates a VSAN with the specified ID if that
VSAN does not exist already.
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id
Step 3
Assigns the membership of the specified
interface to the VSAN.
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id
interface {fc slot/port | vfc vfc-id}
Step 4
Updates the membership information of the
interface to reflect the changed VSAN.
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan vsan-id {fc
slot/port | vfc vfc-id}
Step 5
Removes the interface from the VSAN.
switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan vsan-id {fc
slot/port | vfc vfc-id}
Step 6
Displaying VSAN Static Membership
To display the VSAN static membership information, use the show vsan membership command.
The following example displays membership information for the specified VSAN:
switch # show vsan 1 membership
vsan 1 interfaces:
fc2/1 fc2/2 fc2/3 fc2/4
san-port-channel 3 vfc1/1
Interface information is not displayed if interfaces are not configured on this VSAN.Note
The following example displays membership information for all VSANs:
switch # show vsan membership
vsan 1 interfaces:
fc2/1 fc2/2 fc2/3 fc2/4
