Switch Parameters

Configure the following parameters as required by your fabric.

Domain ID

The domain identification is a value between 1 and 31 that provides a unique identification for the switch in a fabric. An Edge Switch cannot contain the same domain ID as another switch or their E_Ports will segment when they try to join.

In the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, a field is provided to enter a preferred domain ID and a check box is provided to enable this ID as an insistent domain ID.
