Switch Parameters

Configure the following parameters as required by your fabric.

Domain ID

The domain identification is a value between 1 and 31 that provides a unique
identification for the director in a fabric. A fabric director cannot contain the same
domain ID as another director or their E_Ports will segment when they try to join.
In the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, a field is provided to enter a
preferred domain ID and a check box is provided to enable this ID as an insistent
domain ID.

Preferred

Note:
State from the Maintenance menu to display the Set Online State dialog box, then click
Set Offline. Be sure to set the director back online after you change this value.
Use this field to set the a unique domain ID for the director. The default value is 1.
Set a value between 1 and 31. When a director comes online with a preferred ID, it
requests an ID from the fabric's principal director (indicating its preferred value as
part of the request). If the requested domain ID is not allocated to the fabric, the
domain ID is assigned to the requesting director. If the requested domain ID is
already allocated, an unused domain ID is assigned. Note that you must set the
director offline before you can change to the preferred domain ID.
The preferred domain ID must be unique for each director and switch in a fabric.
If two switches or directors have the same preferred domain ID, the E_Ports
segment, causing the fabric to segment.
