Installing and Configuring the Director 2/64
Configuring Switch Operating Parameters
Use the procedures in this section to set parameters on the director for fabric operation
through the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box. These operating parameters
are stored in NV-RAM on the director.
1. The director must be offline to change Preferred Domain ID and Operating
Mode parameters. Verify that the director is set offline. For instructions, refer to
the “Set the Director Offline” on page 2–43.
CAUTION: Setting the director offline terminates all Fibre Channel connections.
2. Choose Configure > Operating Parameters > Switch Parameters. The
Configure Switch Parameters dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 2–30.

parameters in this dialog box.
2. After you change settings, click the Activate button.
