Chapter 1 Configuring Domain Parameters
Domain IDs
About Allowed Domain ID Lists
By default, the valid range for an assigned domain ID list is from 1 to 239. You can specify a list of
ranges to be in the allowed domain ID list and separate each range with a comma. The principal switch
assigns domain IDs that are available in the locally configured allowed domain list.
Use allowed domain ID lists to design your VSANs with nonoverlapping domain IDs. This helps you in
the future if you need to implement IVR without the NAT feature.
Tip
If you configure an allowed list on one switch in the fabric, we recommend that you configure the same
list in all other switches in the fabric to ensure consistency or use CFS to distribute the configuration.
An allowed domain ID list must satisfy the following conditions:
•
If this switch is a principal switch, all the currently assigned domain IDs must be in the allowed list.
•
If this switch is a subordinate switch, the local runtime domain ID must be in the allowed list.
•
The locally configured domain ID of the switch must be in the allowed list.
•
The intersection of the assigned domain IDs with other already configured domain ID lists must not
be empty.
Configuring Allowed Domain ID Lists
To configure the allowed domain ID list, perform this task:
Step 2
switch(config)#
fcdomain domain
domain-id
preferred
vsan
vsan-id
Configures the switch in the specified VSAN to
request a preferred domain ID 3 and accepts any
value assigned by the principal switch. The
domain is range is 1 to 239.
switch(config)#
no fcdomain domain
domain-id
preferred
vsan
vsan-id
Resets the configured domain ID to 0 (default) in
the specified VSAN. The configured domain ID
becomes 0 preferred.
Step 3
switch(config)#
fcdomain domain
domain-id
static vsan
vsan-id
Configures the switch in the specified VSAN to
accept only a specific value and moves the local
interfaces in the specified VSAN to an isolated
state if the requested domain ID is not granted.
switch(config)#
no fcdomain domain
domain-id
static vsan
vsan-id
Resets the configured domain ID to factory
defaults in the specified VSAN. The configured
domain ID becomes 0 preferred.
