Administrative domains

An “administrative domain” (Admin Domain or AD) is a logical grouping of fabric elements that

defines what switches, ports, and devices you can view and modify. An Admin Domain is a filtered

administrative view of the fabric. The logical view presented within an Admin Domain does not hide

fabrics, chassis, switches, and slots; however, the attributes of switch ports and end devices are

filtered based on Admin Domain membership.
