Description Use this command to display information about switches and multicast alias groups in the fabric.

Multicast alias groups are created on demand by request from N_Ports attached to the alias server;

typically no groups are listed.

If the switch is initializing, or disabled, the message “no fabric” is displayed. If the fabric is

reconfiguring, some or all switches may not be shown. Otherwise, the following fields are shown:

Switch ID The switch Domain_ID and embedded port D_ID.

Worldwide Name

The switch WWN.

Enet IP Addr The switch ethernet IP address.

FC IP Addr The switch FC IP address.

Name The switch symbolic name. An arrow (>) indicates the principal switch.

If multicast alias groups exist, the following fields are shown:

Group ID The alias group number and D_ID.

Token The alias group token (assigned by the N_Port).

Operands None.

Example The following example shows a fabric of four switches. “sw180” is the principal switch. Three of

the switches are configured to run IP over Fibre Channel. There is one multicast alias group.
