Deployment Guide

• AD255: If you do not specify the AD name or number, all information about all existing Admin
Domains is displayed.
• AD0-AD254: The membership of the current Admin Domain is displayed.
• AD0: The device and switch list members are categorized into implicit and explicit member lists.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as any user type.
2. Enter the ad --show command.
ad --show
If you are in the AD0 context, you can use the -i option to display the implicit membership list of
AD0; otherwise, only the explicit membership list is displayed.
ad --show -i
If you are in the AD255 context, all Admin Domain configurations from the transaction buffer,
defined configuration, and effective configuration are displayed, unless you use the -m option:
ad --show ad_id -m mode
In the syntax, ad_id is the Admin Domain for which you want to display information and mode is one
of the following values:
• 0 to display the Admin Domain configuration in the current transaction buffer.
• 1 to display the Admin Domain configuration stored in the persistent memory (defined
configuration).
• 2 to display the currently enforced Admin Domain configuration (effective configuration).
Example of displaying membership information about AD1
switch:AD1:admin> ad --show
Current AD Number: 1 AD Name: TheSwitches
Effective configuration:
------------------------
AD Number: 1 AD Name: TheSwitches State: Active
Switch WWN members: 50:06:06:99:00:2a:e9:01;
50:00:51:e0:23:36:f9:01;
50:06:06:98:05:be:99:01;
Switching to a different Admin Domain context
You can switch between different Admin Domain contexts. This option creates a new shell with a new
Admin Domain context. If the corresponding Admin Domain is not activated, the operation fails.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as any user type.
2. Enter the ad --select command and the Admin Domain to which you want to switch.
3. Leave the new Admin Domain context by exiting from the shell.
logout
You cannot switch to another Admin Domain context from within the shell created by ad --select .
You must first exit the shell, and then issue the ad --select command again.
Example of switching to a different Admin Domain context
The following example switches to the AD12 context and back. Note that the prompt changes to
display the Admin Domain.
switch:admin> ad --select 12
switch:AD12:admin> logout
switch:admin>
