Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference
OL-8413-07, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
Chapter 2 A Commands
autonomous-fabric-id (IVR topology database configuration)
• The autonomous fabric ID (AFID), which distinguishes two VSANs that are logically and physically
separate, but have the same VSAN number. Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(1) and later supports
only one default AFID (AFID 1) and thus does not support non-unique VSAN IDs in the network.
As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a), you can specify up to 64 AFIDs.
Note Two VSANs with the same VSAN number but different fabric IDs are counted as two VSANs out o f the
128 total VSANs allowed in the fabric.
The following command enters the configuration mode, enables the IVR feature, enters the VSAN
topology database, and configures the pWWN-VSAN association for VSANs 2 and 2000.
switch# config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
