Configuring Switch Parameters Configuring Switch Information 3 4. Click Activate to save and activate the changes. The message Your changes have been successfully activated displays below the page's heading. The Switch Parameters page is used to enable insistent domain ID, rerouting delay, domain registered state change notifications (RSCNs), suppression of RSCNs during zone set activation, limited fabric RSCNs, and zone FlexPars. The page can also be used to configure a preferred domain ID, switch speed, and interswitch link (ISL) fibre shortest path first (FSPF) cost configuration. Perform the following procedure to configure switch parameters: 1. If you are going to set the preferred domain ID, switch speed, and ISL FSPF cost configuration, set the product offline. To set the product offline, clear the Switch Online check box on the Configure menu. 2. Select Configure > Switch > Parameters on the navigation panel. The Parameters configuration page (Figure 3-6) displays. Figure 3-6 Switch Parameters Page 3. Select the Insistent Domain ID check box to enable the insistent domain ID. When this check box is filled, the domain ID configured in the Preferred Domain ID field becomes the active domain identification when the fabric initializes. Configuring the Product 3-11
