If Extended Edge PID is set (before a downgrade from the current Fabric OS
release to an earlier Fabric OS release that does not support the Extended PID
format), PID needs to be set back to a supported format, such as Core PID (format
1) or native PID (format 0).
Optional Configuration Settings
This section describes how to modify domain IDs and status policies.
Modifying Domain IDs
Optional. Modify the domain IDs, if desired, as follows.
Note: The default domain ID is 1. If the default domain ID is already in use when the
switch is connected to the fabric, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset
to a unique value. The domain IDs that are currently in use can be determined using the
Telnet command fabricShow.
1. Disable the switch by issuing the switchDisable command.
2. Issue the configure command.
3. Enter y at the Fabric parameters prompt:
Fabric parameters (y, n)
4. Enter a unique domain ID (such as the domain ID used by the previous
switch, if still available):
Domain: (1..239) [1] 3
5. Complete the remaining prompts (or press CTRL+D to accept the remaining
settings without completing all the prompts).
6. Reenable the switch by issuing the switchEnable command.
Specifying Custom Status Policies
Optional. If desired, specify any custom status policies for the fabric as follows.
1. Issue the switchStatusPolicySet command.
2. Specify the desired status policies. To completely deactivate the alarm for a
particular condition, enter 0 at the prompt for that condition.
