Hardware Installation Guide
Setting the Domain ID
Each device in the fabric must have a unique domain ID. The default domain ID is 1. If the device 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 device is
automatically reset to a unique value. If the device is connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default
domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.
You can use the
fabricshow
command on another device in the fabric to view domain IDs already assigned. Manually
configure a unique domain ID using the
configure
command as in the following steps:
1. Log on to the device using one of the following methods:
•
A serial console connection to the active CP blade. The active CP is indicated by an illuminated blue LED on the
blade front panel.
•
A telnet session using the chassis management IP address.
Log on to the device using
admin
as your password. If you have not changed the default password, use
password
.
2. Perform the following steps to modify the domain ID.
a) Disable the device by entering the
switchdisable
command.
b) Enter the
configure
command. The command prompts display sequentially. Enter a new value or press
Enter
to accept each default value.
c) Enter
y
after the
Fabric param
prompt.
Fabric param (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
d) Enter a unique domain ID (such as the domain ID used by the previous device, if still available).
Domain: (1..239) [1] 3
e) Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the remaining settings without completing all the
prompts.
f) Re-enable the device by entering the
switchenable
command.
Setting the Date and Time
The date and time settings are used for event logging, error detection, and troubleshooting; and hence, you should set
them correctly. However, device operation does not depend on the date and time; a device with an incorrect date or time
values still functions properly.
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) device to that of an
external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Perform the following steps to set the date and time.
1. Log on to the device using one of the following methods:
•
A serial console connection to the active CP blade. The active CP is indicated by an illuminated blue LED on the
blade front panel.
•
A telnet session using the chassis management IP address.
Log on to the device using
admin
. If you have not changed the default password, use
password
.
2. Enter the
date
command, using the following syntax:
date "mmddHHMMyy"
The values are:
