Re: Prinicpal switch in a fabric
Another Clarification -
1. Is it possible to find the exact speed of the switch port as it speaks with a storage box.
Is there any switch command to check the performance of switch??

Solution
The Fabric Principal does some central management functions like ensuring unique domain IDs or time synchronization.
By default, the switch with the lowest WWN is assigned the principal, but that might not be good if that happens to be an edge switch.
The 'fabricprincipal' is a hint to overwrite the 'lowest WWN' rule.
The port speed is shown in the output of the 'switchshow' command.
Have you already looked at the output of the 'portperfshow' command which gives a quick overview?
