If you cannot use the wwn command because the switch is inoperable, you can get the WWN from
the same place as the serial number, except for the Brocade DCX. For the Brocade DCX, access the
numbers on the WWN cards by removing the Brocade logo plate at the top of the nonport side of
the chassis.
For the Brocade 4016, 4018, 4020, and 4024 embedded switches: Provide the license ID. Use the
licenseIDShow command to display the WWN.

Chapter
Using Fabric OS Commands
This chapter explains how to manage a Brocade SAN and Brocade switches and directors using the
Fabric OS command line interface (CLI). The following topics discussed:
• “Understanding role-based access control” on page 1
• “Understanding admin domain restrictions” on page 2
• “Using the command line interface” on page 2
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for information regarding optionally licensed features
and configuration and management procedures.
Understanding role-based access control
Fabric OS implements Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to control access to all Fabric OS
operations.
Seven roles are supported, as defined in Table 1. Role definitions are guided by perceived common
operational situations and the operations and effects a role is permitted to have on a fabric and
individual fabric elements.
TABLE 1 Role definitions
Role Name Definition
1
User Nonadministrative use, such as monitoring system activity
Operator A subset of administrative tasks typically required for
routine maintenance operations
SwitchAdmin Administrative use excluding security, user management,
and zoning
ZoneAdmin Zone management only
FabricAdmin Administrative use excluding user management and Admin
Domain managment
BasicSwitchAdmin A subset of administrative tasks, typically of a more limited
scope and effect
Admin May perform all administrative tasks
SecurityAdmin Administrative use including admin, security, user
management, and zoning
Appendix A, “Command availability” explains the Role-Based Access Control checks in place to
validate command execution, and provides the RBAC permissions for the commands included in
this manual.
Fabric OS Command Reference 1

Understanding admin domain restrictions
1
Understanding admin domain restrictions
A subset of Fabric OS commands is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. In
order to execute an AD restricted command on a switch or device, the switch or device must be part
of a given Admin domain, and the user must be logged into that Admin Domain.
Six Admin Domain types are supported, as defined in Table 2.
TABLE 2 AD types
AD Type Definition
Allowed Allowed to execute in all ADs.
PhysFabricOnly Allowed to execute only in AD255 context (and the user
should own access to AD0-AD255 and have admin RBAC
privilege).
Disallowed Only allowed to execute in AD0 or AD255 context, not
allowed in AD1-AD254 context.
PortMember All control operation allowed only if the port or the local
switch is part of the current AD. View access allowed if the
device attached to the port is part of current AD.
AD0Disallowed Allowed to execute only in AD255 and AD0 (if no ADs are
configured).
AD0Only Allowed to execute only in AD0 when ADs are not
configured.
Refer to Appendix A, “Command availability” for a listing of Admin Domain restrictions that apply to
the commands included in this manual.
Using the command line interface
The Fabric OS command line interface (accessed via Telnet, SSH, or serial console) provides full
management capability on a Brocade switch. The Fabric OS CLI enables an administrator to
monitor and manage individual switches, ports, and entire fabrics from a standard workstation.
Selected commands must be issued from a secure Telnet or SSH session, as indicated in the
command description in this manual.
Access is controlled by a switch-level password for each access level. The commands available
through the CLI are based on the user’s login role and the license keys used to unlock certain
features.
The Fabric OS CLI provides the following capabilities:
• Access to the full range of Fabric OS features, given the license keys installed.
• Assistance with configuration, monitoring, dynamic provisioning, and daily management of
every aspect of storage area networks (SAN).
• A deeper view of the tasks involved in managing a Brocade SAN.
• Identification, isolation, and management of SAN events across every switch in the fabric.
• Management of Brocade licenses.

Using the command line interface
The documentation for each command includes a synopsis of its syntax, a description of command
use, and a set of examples. The same information can be accessed by issuing help command on a
Brocade switch or director. This command displays the help page for the specified command. For
example, to display the help page for ad, type:
switch:admin> help ad
