Creating an Admin Domain

To create an Admin Domain, you must specify an Admin Domain name, number, or both.
If you create an Admin Domain using only a number, the Admin Domain name is automatically
assigned to be "ADn", where n is the number you specified.
For example, if you specify AD number = 4, then AD name is set to "AD4".
If you create an Admin Domain using only a name, the Admin Domain number is automatically
assigned and is the lowest available AD number, except if you specify a name in the format "ADn", in
which case the Admin Domain number is assigned to be n.
For example, if you specify AD name = "blueAD" and the lowest available AD number is 5, then AD
name is "blueAD" and AD number is 5.
If you specify AD name = "AD15" and the lowest available AD number is 6, then AD name is "AD15"
and AD number is 15. Because the specified name is in the format "ADn", the AD number is assigned
to be n and not the lowest available AD number.
The Admin Domain name cannot exceed 63 characters and can contain alphabetic and numeric
characters. The only special character allowed is an underscore ( _ ).
When you create an Admin Domain, you must specify at least one member (switch, switch port, or device).
You cannot create an empty Admin Domain. For more information about these member types, see
