Connecting the switch to the fabric

2

1.If the switch module is in full fabric mode, continue with step 2 and step 3. If the module is in NPIV mode, go on to step 4.

2.Log onto the converged network switch through a Telnet connection, using the admin account.

3.Modify the domain ID if required using switch module CLI commands.

The default domain ID is 1. If the switch module is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch module is automatically reset to a unique value. If the switch module is connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.

To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another converged network switch or switch in the fabric. Identify an unused domain ID.

a.Disable the converged network switch being configured using the switchDisable command.

b.Enter the configure command at the root prompt.

The command prompts display sequentially. Enter a new value at the Domain prompt or press Enter to accept the default value. The converged network switch now has a unique domain ID and can join the fabric. Following is an example of command output.
