Usage Guidelines
When you enter the switch virtual domain command, you enter the virtual switch domain configuration
submode, and the prompt changes to Router1(config-vs-domain)#. Within the virtual switch domain
configuration submode, the following commands are available:
•
•
•
•
You must configure the same virtual switch domain number on both chassis of the virtual switch. The
virtual switch domain is a number between 1 and 255, and must be unique for each virtual switch in your
network.
The domain identification takes effect only after you enter the switch convert mode virtual command.
Note
The switch number is not stored in the startup or running configuration, because both chassis use the
Note
same configuration file (but must not have the same switch number).
Examples The following example shows how to configure the virtual switch number and virtual switch domain on
two switches:
Router1(config)# switch virtual domain 100
Router1(config-vs-domain)# switch 1
