Changing a logical switch to a base switch
Use the following procedure to change a logical switch to a base switch.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with the chassis-role permission.
2. Set the context to the logical switch you want to change, if you are not already in that context.
setcontext fabricID (or switchname )
The fabricID parameter is the FID of the logical switch you want to change to a base switch.
The switchname parameter is the name assigned to the logical switch.
You can only use one parameter at a time.
3. Configure the switch to not allow XISL use, as described in “Configuring a logical switch to use
XISLs” on page 299.
4. Enter the lsCfg command to change the logical switch to a base switch:
lscfg --change fabricID -base
The fabricID parameter is the fabric ID of the logical switch with the attributes you want to
change.
5. Enable the switch.
