Account management and Virtual Fabrics

When user accounts are created, they are assigned a list of logical fabrics to which they can log in 
and a home logical fabric (home FID). When you connect to a physical chassis, the home FID 
defines the logical switch to which you are logged in by default. You can change to a different 
logical switch context, as described in 

When you are logged in to a logical switch, the system prompt changes to display the FID of that 
switch. The following are example prompts for when you are logged in to the default logical switch 
(FID = 128) and a user-defined logical switch (with FID = 15):

switch:FID128:admin>
switch:FID15:admin>

See 

 on page 83 for information about creating user accounts and 

assigning FIDs to user accounts.
