Setting the Brocade FC switch values to factory defaults

You must set the switch to its factory defaults to ensure a successful configuration. You must also assign each switch a unique name.

About this task

In the examples in this procedure, the fabric consists of BrocadeSwitchA and BrocadeSwitchB.

Steps

Make a console connection and log in to both switches in one fabric.
Disable the switch persistently: switchcfgpersistentdisable
This ensures the switch will remain disabled after a reboot or fastboot. If this command is not available, use the switchdisable command.

Example
The following example shows the command on BrocadeSwitchA:
```
BrocadeSwitchA:admin> switchcfgpersistentdisable
```
The following example shows the command on BrocadeSwitchB:
```
BrocadeSwitchA:admin> switchcfgpersistentdisable
```
Enter switchname switch_name to set the switch name.
The switches should each have a unique name. After setting the name, the prompt changes accordingly.

Example
The following example shows the command on BrocadeSwitchA:
```
BrocadeSwitchA:admin> switchname "FC_switch_A_1"
FC_switch_A_1:admin>
```
The following example shows the command on BrocadeSwitchB:
```
BrocadeSwitchB:admin> switchname "FC_Switch_B_1"
FC_switch_B_1:admin>
```
Set all ports to their default values by issuing the following command for each port: portcfgdefault
This must be done for all ports on the switch.

Example
The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_A_1:
```
FC_switch_A_1:admin> portcfgdefault 0
FC_switch_A_1:admin> portcfgdefault 1
...
FC_switch_A_1:admin> portcfgdefault 39
```
The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_B_1:
```
FC_switch_B_1:admin> portcfgdefault 0
FC_switch_B_1:admin> portcfgdefault 1
...
FC_switch_B_1:admin> portcfgdefault 39
```
Clear the zoning information by issuing the following commands: cfgdisablecfgclearcfgsave
Example
The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_A_1:
```
FC_switch_A_1:admin> cfgdisable
FC_switch_A_1:admin> cfgclear
FC_switch_A_1:admin> cfgsave
```
The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_B_1:
```
FC_switch_B_1:admin> cfgdisable
FC_switch_B_1:admin> cfgclear
FC_switch_B_1:admin> cfgsave
```
Set the general switch settings to default: configdefault
Example
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_A_1:
```
FC_switch_A_1:admin> configdefault
```
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_B_1:
```
FC_switch_B_1:admin> configdefault
```
Set all ports to non-trunking mode: switchcfgtrunk 0
Example
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_A_1:
```
FC_switch_A_1:admin> switchcfgtrunk 0
```
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_B_1:
```
FC_switch_B_1:admin> switchcfgtrunk 0
```
On Brocade 6510 switches, disable the Brocade Virtual Fabrics (VF) feature: fosconfig options
Example
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_A_1:
```
FC_switch_A_1:admin> fosconfig --disable vf
```
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_B_1:
```
FC_switch_B_1:admin> fosconfig --disable vf
```

Clear the Administrative Domain (AD) configuration: ad options

Example

The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_A_1:

FC_switch_A_1:admin> switch:admin> ad --select AD0
FC_switch_A_1:> defzone --noaccess
FC_switch_A_1:> cfgsave
FC_switch_A_1:> exit
FC_switch_A_1:admin> ad --clear -f
FC_switch_A_1:admin> ad --apply
FC_switch_A_1:admin> ad --save
FC_switch_A_1:admin> exit

The following example shows the commands on FC_switch_B_1:

FC_switch_B_1:admin> switch:admin> ad --select AD0
FC_switch_A_1:> defzone --noaccess
FC_switch_A_1:> cfgsave
FC_switch_A_1:> exit
FC_switch_B_1:admin> ad --clear -f
FC_switch_B_1:admin> ad --apply
FC_switch_B_1:admin> ad --save
FC_switch_B_1:admin> exit

Reboot the switch by issuing the following command: reboot
Example
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_A_1:
```
FC_switch_A_1:admin> reboot
```
The following example shows the command on FC_switch_B_1:
```
FC_switch_B_1:admin> reboot
```
