Management Tools

The Brocade 8000 runs traditional Fabric OS (FOS) software and can be managed using the same 
tools traditionally used for SAN management. Using the FOS Command Line Interface (CLI), 
administrators have access to all commands and utilities common to other Brocade switches. In 
addition, FOS software on the Brocade 8000 enables Brocade Web Tools to support the following 
features for configuring and managing a Converged Ethernet Network:

•

CEE interface display and configuration

•

FCoE trunk display and configuration

•

CEE configuration including link aggregation (LACP), Virtual LANs (VLANs), Quality of Service 
(QoS), and LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol)/ DCBX protocol (Data Center Bridging 
eXchange)

•

FCoE login groups

CEE Command Line Interface

The Brocade 8000 introduces a new CLI designed to support the management of CEE and L2 
Ethernet switching functionality. The CEE CLI uses an industry-standard hierarchical shell familiar 
to Ethernet/IP networking administrators.

All conventional port-related Fabric OS CLI commands are only applicable to Fibre Channel. These 
commands have no knowledge of the Ethernet ports. The CEE features and CEE ports can only be 
configured through the CEE CLI interface which is accessed by entering the cmsh command from 
the Fabric OS shell. 

The system starts up with the default Fabric OS configuration and the CEE startup configuration. 
After logging in you are in the Fabric OS shell. For information on accessing the CEE commands 
from the Fabric OS shell, see 

Some Fabric OS commands are available in the CEE shell. Enter the fos ? command at the CEE CLI 
Privileged EXEC mode command prompt to view the available Fabric OS commands. The traditional 
Fabric OS command help found in the Fabric OS shell is not available through the CEE shell.
