144 Managing administrative domains
Displaying an Admin Domain configuration
The
ad --show
option displays the membership information and zone database information of the
specified Admin Domain. When you perform the
show
option in:
• AD255, if you do not specify the AD_name or number, all information about all existing Admin
Domains is displayed.
• AD0-AD254 contexts, the membership of the current Admin Domain is displayed.
• AD0, the device and switch list members are categorized into implicit and explicit member lists.
To show an Admin Domain
1. Connect to the switch and log in as any user type.
2. Enter the
ad --show
command.
If you are in the AD0 context, you can use the
-i
option to display the implicit membership list of AD0;
otherwise, only the explicit membership list is displayed.
ad --show -i
If you are in the AD255 context, all Admin Domain configuration from the transaction buffer, defined
configuration, and effective configuration is displayed, unless you use the
-m
option:
ad --show ad_id -m mode
where
ad_id
is the Admin Domain for which you want to display information and
mode
is one of the
following:
• 0 to display the Admin Domain configuration in the current transaction buffer.
• 1 to display the Admin Domain configuration stored in the persistent memory (defined
configuration).
• 2 to display the currently enforced Admin Domain configuration (effective configuration).
The following example displays membership information about AD1.
Switching to a different Admin Domain context
The
ad --select
option is used to switch between different Admin Domain contexts. This option creates
a new shell with a new Admin Domain context. If the corresponding Admin Domain is not yet activated,
the
select
option:
• Succeeds for the physical fabric administrator. (This allows the root administrator to switch to an Admin
Domain and set up zones before activating the AD).
• Fails for all other users
To switch to a new Admin Domain context
1. Connect to the switch and log in as any user type.
2. Enter the
ad --select
command and the Admin Domain you want to switch to.
3. To leave the new Admin Domain context, exit from the shell.
You cannot switch to another Admin Domain context from within the shell created by
ad --select
.
You must first exit the shell and then issue the
ad --select
command again.
