The default domain ID is 1. 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 to a unique value. If the switch is
connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID
is already in use, the fabric segments. To find the domain IDs that are currently
in use, enter the
fabricShow
command on another extension switch in the
fabric.
Complete these steps to modify the Domain ID.

Complete the remaining prompts or press
Ctrl+D
to accept the remaining
settings without completing all the prompts.
f.
Re-enable the switch by entering the
switchEnable
command.
Setting the date and time of the switch
The date and time switch settings are used for logging events. Switch operation
does not depend on the date and time; a switch with incorrect date or time values
still functions properly. You can synchronize the local time of the principal or
primary fabric configuration server (FCS) switch to that of an external Network
Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Complete these steps to set the date and time of a switch.
1.
Log in to the switch as
admin
.
2.
Enter the
date
command at the command line using the following syntax:
date ["newdate"]
This command has the following operand:
"newdate"
. This operand specifies
the new date and time enclosed in double quotation marks. this operand is
optional; if omitted, the current date and time is displayed. Date and time are
specified as a string in the
mmddhhmmyy
format. The syntax uses the following
values:
v
mm: Specifies the month. Valid values are 01 to 12.
v
dd: Specifies the date. Valid values are 01 to 31.
v
hh: Specifies the hour. Valid values are 00 to 23.
v
mm: Specifies the minutes. Valid values are 00 to 59.
v
yy: Specifies the year, valid values are 00 to 37 and 70 to 99. Year values
from 70 to 99 are interpreted as 1970 to 1999; year values from 00 to 37 are
interpreted as 2000 to 2037.
