Enabling or disabling the fabric configuration
function
After being enabled with the fabric configuration function, FCF switches exchange messages to select the
principal switch. Then the principal switch dynamically assigns domain IDs to all switches in the fabric.
Therefore, to dynamically build a fabric, you must enable the fabric configuration function on switches.
To statically set up a fabric, you must disable the fabric configuration function on switches and manually
configure domain IDs for the switches.
To enable or disable the fabric configuration function:
