1 Figure 1-6 Web Tools-AP Edition Interface Administrative Domains An "administrative domain" (Admin Domain or AD) is a logical grouping of fabric elements that defines what switches, ports, and devices you can view and modify. An Admin Domain is a filtered administrative view of the fabric. The logical view presented within an Admin Domain does not hide fabrics, chassis, switches, and slots; however, the attributes of switch ports and end devices are filtered based on Admin Domain membership. Admin Domains permit access to a configured set of users. If a switch is part of an Admin Domain, then when you log in with an account that has an administrator role, you can perform switch enable and disable functions and all switch port-level functions such as port enable and port disable. You cannot perform fabric-wide management, as switch membership within a zone does not provide zoning rights on the switch ports. Note Do not confuse an Admin Domain with the domain ID of a switch. They are two different identifiers. Admin Domains are identified by a numeric ID (0-255) and also by name. This name can be autogenerated based on the ID (for example AD1 or AD5) or you can specify a more informative name such as Accounting or Engineering. 1-10 Web Tools Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-0000194-01
