172CHAPTER 9: CONFIGURING NETWORK DOMAINS

To specify 10.8.107.1 as an additional Network Domain seed for the WX switch to connect to if the 192.168.9.254 seed is unavailable, enter the following command:

WX1200# set network-domain mode member seed-ip 10.8.107.1 affinity 2

success: change accepted.

Displaying Network To view the status of Network Domains configured on the WX switch, use Domain Information the display network-domaincommand. The output of the command

differs based on whether the WX switch is a member of a Network Domain or a Network Domain seed.

For example, a WXswitch that is a Network Domain member only, output such as the following is displayed:

WX4400# display network-domain

SEED

On a WX switch that is a Network Domain seed, information is displayed about the Network Domain seeds with which the WX switch has a peer relationship, as well as the Network Domains of which the WX switch is a member. For example:

WX4400# display network-domain

Network Domain name: California
