Switch Parameters

Configure the following parameters as required by your fabric.

Preferred Domain ID Use this field to set each switch in the fabric to a unique preferred

domain ID. Fibre Channel addresses in the switch include this

preferred domain ID, which creates a unique identification for the

port in the fabric. The default value is 1. Set a preferred value from 1

through 31.

The preferred domain ID must be unique for each switch in a fabric.

segment, causing the fabric to segment.

For more information on the domain ID, refer to the section on domain ID

assignment for multiswitch fabrics in the
