Cascading Switches
The Domain ID number uniquely identifies a switch in a fabric. Normally, the
switch automatically assigns the Domain ID when a switch is first powered on or
when the switch disable/enable command is executed. When two switches are
cascaded together, there might be an initial Domain ID conflict if the switches had
been assigned the same Domain ID prior to being cascaded. This can be avoided
by changing the Domain ID with the
configure
command.
The Domain address may change when disabling and enabling one of the
switches, or rebooting one of the switches if the Domain is not set using the
configure
command.
Switch parameters for all switches in a SAN must be the same, or the switch may
not join the SAN.
