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 director in a fabric. A fabric director cannot contain the same
domain ID as another director 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.
