FIGURE 31 Logical switch, fabric ID 2.
Under System Information, Base Switch, Default Switch, and Allow XISL Use are specific to VIrtual
Fabrics:
• Base Switch indicates whether or not the logical switch can act as a base switch. A base switch
is a special logical switch that can be used for chassis interconnection. Each chassis may only
designate only one logical switch as a base switch.
• Default Switch indicates whether or not the logical switch is the default logical switch. The
default logical switch is equivalent to the normal, discovered physical switch topology. It is
automatically assigned fabric ID 128. If you do not log in to a specific logical switch using
Options on the login dialog box, the default logical switch is displayed in the Switch View, as
shown in Figure 29.
• Allow XISL Use indicates whether or not the logical switch is allowed to connect to other logical
switches using an extended inter-switch link (XISL). Only base switches may use XISLs.
