The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
The configure command is navigated using a series of hierarchical menus. Each top-level menu and its
associated submenus consist of a text prompt, a list of acceptable values, and a default value (in brackets).
Use the following options to control input:
Return When entered at a prompt with no preceding input, accepts the default value (if
applicable) and moves to the next prompt.
Interrupt (Ctrl-C) Aborts the command immediately and ignores all changes made.
End-of-file (Ctrl-D) When entered at a prompt with no preceding input, terminates the command and
saves changes made.
Switch Fabric Settings
There are several settings that control the overall behavior and operation of the fabric. Some of these,
such as the domain, are assigned automatically by the fabric and might differ from one switch to another
in the fabric. Other parameters, such as the BB credit or the timeout values, can be changed for specific
applications or operating environments but must be in agreement among all switches to allow formation
of the fabric.
