R21xx-HP FlexFabric 11900 FCoE Command Reference

26
domain-id
Use domain-id to specify a domain ID for the switch in a specified VSAN.
Use undo domain-id to restore the default.
Syntax
domain-id domain-id { preferred | static }
undo domain-id
Default
The domain ID of a switch is 0 in each VSAN and is preferred type.
Views
VSAN view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
domain-id: Domain ID in the range of 1 to 239.
preferred: Specifies the domain ID as the preferred type.
static: Specifies the domain ID as the static type.
Usage guidelines
The upper layer protocol identifies only the WWN, but FCF switches use domain IDs to route and
forward packets. Domain IDs are assigned on a per-VSAN basis and have a default value of 0, which
cannot distinguish devices. Therefore, you must statically configure or dynamically assign domain IDs for
FCF switches.
In the static domain ID assignment approach, the ID type configuration does not affect the assignment
result.
In the dynamic domain ID assignment approach, the principal switch assigns a domain ID to each switch
in the fabric. If a member switch fails to get a preferred-type domain ID from the principal switch, it
accepts any other domain ID assigned by the principal switch. If the member switch fails to get a
static-type domain ID, it does not accept any other domain ID, and isolates the upstream link.
HP recommends that you specify the same type of domain IDs for all switches in the same VSAN.
Examples
# Specify static-type domain ID 55 for the switch in VSAN 1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] vsan 1
[Sysname-vsan1] domain-id 55 static
Non-disruptive reconfiguration or isolating the switch may be performed. Continue? [Y/N]:
fabric-name
Use fabric-name to specify a fabric name for the switch in a specified VSAN.
Use undo fabric-name to restore the default.
