Displaying an Admin Domain configuration

The ad --show option displays the membership information and zone database information of the
specified Admin Domain. When you perform the show option in:
• AD255, if you do not specify the AD_name or number, all information about all existing Admin
Domains is displayed.
• AD0-AD254 contexts, the membership of the current Admin Domain is displayed.
• AD0, the device and switch list members are categorized into implicit and explicit member lists.
To show an Admin Domain
1. Connect to the switch and log in as any user type.
2. Enter the ad --show command.
If you are in the AD0 context, you can use the -i option to display the implicit membership list of AD0;
otherwise, only the explicit membership list is displayed.
ad --show -i
If you are in the AD255 context, all Admin Domain configuration from the transaction buffer, defined
configuration, and effective configuration is displayed, unless you use the -m option:
ad --show ad_id -m mode

Switching to a different Admin Domain context

The ad --select option is used to switch between different Admin Domain contexts. This option creates
a new shell with a new Admin Domain context. If the corresponding Admin Domain is not yet activated,
the select option:
• Succeeds for the physical fabric administrator. (This allows the root administrator to switch to an Admin
Domain and set up zones before activating the AD).
• Fails for all other users
To switch to a new Admin Domain context
1. Connect to the switch and log in as any user type.
2. Enter the ad --select command and the Admin Domain you want to switch to.
3. To leave the new Admin Domain context, exit from the shell.
You cannot switch to another Admin Domain context from within the shell created by ad --select.
You must first exit the shell and then issue the ad --select command again.
