request chassis device-mode

Syntax

Select the operating mode for the device, which acts either as a device within a QFabric system or as a standalone switch.

Note:

Issue the request chassis device-mode command only when your management station is connected directly to the device over a console port connection.
Changing the device mode erases all configuration data on the device. When you convert a device to a different device mode, we recommend that you back up your device configuration to an external location before issuing the request chassis device-mode command.

interconnect-device	Set the device to operate as an Interconnect device within a QFabric system. To complete the Interconnect device mode conversion process, you must connect the device to the QFabric system management control plane and reboot the device.
node-device	Set the device to operate as a Node device within a QFabric system. To complete the Node device mode conversion process, you must connect the device to the QFabric system management control plane and reboot the device.
standalone	Set the device to operate as a standalone switch. If the device starts in Node device or Interconnect device mode, you must reboot the device to return to standalone mode. Standalone mode is the factory default setting.
