  • Modify domainid on fiber optic switch

    Modify domainid on fiber optic switch

    Perform the following steps to modify the domain ID. The command prompts display sequentially; enter a new value or press Enter to accept each default value. If the switch 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 is automatically reset. This chapter describes how to configure Fibre Channel domain parameters. The Fibre Channel domain (fcdomain) feature performs principal switch selection, domain ID distribution, FC ID allocation, and fabric reconfiguration functions as described in the FC-SW-2 standards. The Domain ID can be set using the configure command.
