Modify the Fibre Channel Domain ID (Optional)

If desired, you can modify the Fibre Channel domain ID. The default Fibre

channel domain ID is domain 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is

connected to the fabric and the default Fibre channel domain ID is already in use,

the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. If the

switch is connected to the fabric after is has been powered on and the default

domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.

The domain IDs that are currently in use can be determined using the fabricshow

command. The number of domains is determined by your domain fabric licensing.

To modify the domain ID:

Enter to accept each default value.

5. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the remaining

default settings.

7. Optionally, specify any custom status policies:

a. Enter the switchstatuspolicyset command at the prompt. This command

sets the policy parameters that determine the overall switch status.

To deactivate the alarm for a particular condition, enter 0 at the prompt for that

condition.
