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 36.
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.
