Admin Domain interactions with other Fabric OS features

The administrative domain feature provides interaction with other Fabric OS features and across third-party
applications. You can manage Admin Domains with Web Tools as well as the CLI. If the current Admin
Domain owns the switch, you can perform Fabric Watch operations.
Admin Domain interactions do not extend to user session tunneling across switches. A user logged into a
switch can control only the local switch ports as specified in the Admin Domain.
When the fabric is in secure mode, the following applies:
• There is no support for ACL configuration under each Administrative Domain.
• ACL configuration commands are allowed only in AD0 and AD255. None of the policy configurations
are validated with AD membership.
Table 53 lists some of the Fabric OS features and considerations that apply when using Admin Domains.

If no user-defined Admin Domains exist, you can run ACL configuration
commands in only AD0 and AD255.
If any user-defined Admin Domains exist, you can run ACL configuration
commands only in AD255.
You cannot use ACL configuration commands or validate ACL policy
configurations against AD membership under each Admin Domain.
APM-related filter setup and statistics viewing is allowed only if the local switch is
part of the current Admin Domain.
Fabric Watch configuration operations are allowed only if the local switch is part
of the current Admin Domain.
• You can create LSAN zones as a physical fabric administrator or as an
individual AD administrator. The LSAN zone can be part of the root zone
database or the AD zone database.
• FCR collects the LSAN zones from all ADs. If both edge fabrics have matching
LSAN zones and both devices are online, FCR triggers a device import.
• LSAN zone enforcement in the local fabric occurs only if the AD member list
contains both of the devices (local and imported device) specified in the
LSAN zone.
• To support legacy applications, WWNs are reported based on the AD
context using NAA=5. As a result, you cannot use the NAA=5 field alone in
the WWN to detect an FC router.
FDMI operations are allowed only in AD0 and AD255.
