This section explains how to change settings of network devices.
Use the following procedure to change the settings of a registered network device:
Create network configuration information for the target network device.
Change the network device settings based on the network configuration information created in step 1.
Create the network configuration information necessary for changing the registered network device settings.
In the following cases, it is possible to create network configuration information that can be used as input information for changes based on its original network configuration information.
When the network configuration information used for registering the network device exists
When the network configuration information retrieved from Resource Orchestrator using the rcxadm netconfig export command exists
See
For how to create network configuration information (XML definitions), refer to "9.4.8 When Managing Network Devices as Resources" in the "Design Guide CE".
For details on the rcxadm netconfig command, refer to "3.7 rcxadm netconfig" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
This section explains how to change settings of a network device.
Network device settings can be changed using the following methods:
When modifying network devices individually
Use the rcxadm netdevice modify command.
When modifying multiple network devices at one time
Use the rcxadm netconfig import command.
Note
When modifying links between VFABs and tenants in Converged Fabric, modify the linking information of the port profiles and the MAC addresses by performing either of the following operations. However, it is not necessary to perform the following operations, when VFABs linked with tenants after modification meet the conditions of VFAB auto-configuration.
When changing links of tenants with VFABs to VFABs with the different external connection ports, delete the link information from before modification.
When changing links of tenants with VFABs to VFABs with the same external connection ports, add the linking information from after modification.
When adding new tenants when linking with VFABs, modification is not required.
The conditions of VFAB auto-configuration are as follow:
The network configuration information (XML definition) for Converged Fabric is configured as below.
The AutoConfigure element is omitted, or "true" is configured, and
The portprofile attribute of the Netdevice element is omitted, or "enable" is configured, and
The vfabauto attribute of the Vfab element is configured as "true".

For details on the rcxadm netdevice command, refer to "3.8 rcxadm netdevice" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
For details on the rcxadm netconfig command, refer to "3.7 rcxadm netconfig" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
For details on the information that can be changed, refer to "15.7.2 Modification" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
