Configuring interoperability

When you configure interoperability, Web Tools verifies that the domain ID of the switch fits in the

range for the interoperability mode you choose. The domain ranges are:

• The normal domain ID range is 1-239.

• The McDATA Fabric Mode supports domain ID range is 1-31.

• The Open Fabric Mode range is 97-131.

• Before making change to the Interoperability mode, Web Tools will check to see if the switch's

domain ID does in fit in the range. If not, there is warning message to ask user to change

Domain ID first when users enable Interoperability Mode.

1. Open the Switch Administration window.

2. Disable the switch, as described in “Enabling and disabling a switch” on page 34.

You can change the interoperability configurations only to a disabled (offline) switch. You will

only be able to disable the switch if the Admin Domain you are logged into owns the switch.

3. Click the Configure tab, and then click the Interoperability subtab.
