Using the Admin Domain Module

You can view and manage Admin Domains through the Admin Domain module, shown in Figure 8-1.

You access the Admin Domain module by clicking the AD button in the Switch View.

Figure 8-1 Admin Domain Module, Summary View

The Admin Domain module displays information about the Admin Domains defined in the fabric. If

you launch the Admin Domain module from AD255 (physical fabric), then the module displays the

current content of all Admin Domains. If you launch the Admin Domain module from any other Admin

Domain, the module displays the current Admin Domain only.

To manage Admin Domains, you must be logged in with the role of Admin.

When you launch the Admin Domain module and select the parent Admin Domains node in the tree on

the left side of the module, the Admin Domain module displays summary information about all of the

Admin Domains, as shown in Figure 8-1. You can also select a specific Admin Domain from the tree to

display detailed information about that Admin Domain, as shown in Figure 8-2. The detailed view

displays summary information as well as information about the online switch, port, and device members

of the selected Admin Domain.

Any changes you make in the Admin Domain module are held in a buffered environment and are not

saved to persistent storage until you explicitly save the changes. If you close the Admin Domain module

without saving your changes, your changes are lost. To save the buffered changes you make in the

Admin Domain module to persistent storage, see “Saving Local Admin Domain Changes” on page 8-7.
