For attached fabrics in which participating element's Interop Mode is
set to McDATA Fabric 1.0, Domain_IDs of 30 and 31 are recognized
by SAN management applications and all attached devices. For
attached fabrics in which participating element's Interop Mode is set to
Open Fabric 1.0, Domain_IDs of 30 and 31 are recognized by SAN
management applications. Domain_IDs of 7E and 7F are recognized
by all attached devices.

Routing domains represent devices from remote fabrics and are a key
part of SAN routing. The routing domain with Domain_ID 30 enables
routing between multiple fabrics (mSAN routing). The routing
domain with Domain_ID 31 enables routing between multiple
mSANs (iSAN routing). Refer to
additional information.
