1. Connect to the switch and log in as any user type. 2. Enter the ad --select command and the Admin Domain you want to switch to. 3. Leave the new Admin Domain context by exiting from the shell. logout You cannot switch to another Admin Domain context from within the shell created by ad --select. You must first exit the shell, and then enter the ad --select command again. The following example switches to the AD12 context and back. Note that the prompt changes to display the Admin Domain. switch:admin> ad --select 12 switch:AD12:admin> logout switch:admin> Admin Domain interactions with other Fabric OS features The administrative domain feature provides interaction with other Fabric OS features and across third-party applications. You can manage Admin Domains with Web Tools as well as the CLI. If the current Admin Domain owns the switch, you can perform Fabric Watch operations. Admin Domain interactions do not extend to user session tunneling across switches. A user logged into a switch can control only the local switch ports as specified in the Admin Domain. When the fabric is in secure mode, the following applies: • There is no support for ACL configuration under each Administrative Domain. • ACL configuration commands are allowed only in AD0 and AD255. None of the policy configurations are validated with AD membership. Table 53 lists some of the Fabric OS features and considerations that apply when using Admin Domains. Table 53 Admin Domain interaction with Fabric OS features (continued) Fabric OS feature Admin Domain interaction ACLs Advanced Performance Monitoring (APM) If no user-defined Admin Domains exist, you can run ACL configuration commands in only AD0 and AD255. If any user-defined Admin Domains exist, you can run ACL configuration commands only in AD255. You cannot use ACL configuration commands or validate ACL policy configurations against AD membership under each Admin Domain. APM-related filter setup and statistics viewing is allowed only if the local switch is part of the current Admin Domain. Fabric Watch Fabric Watch configuration operations are allowed only if the local switch is part of the current Admin Domain. FC-FC Routing Service • You can create LSAN zones as a physical fabric administrator or as an individual AD administrator. The LSAN zone can be part of the root zone database or the AD zone database. • FCR collects the LSAN zones from all ADs. If both edge fabrics have matching LSAN zones and both devices are online, FCR triggers a device import. • LSAN zone enforcement in the local fabric occurs only if the AD member list contains both of the devices (local and imported device) specified in the LSAN zone. • To support legacy applications, WWNs are reported based on the AD context using NAA=5. As a result, you cannot use the NAA=5 field alone in the WWN to detect an FC router. FDMI FDMI operations are allowed only in AD0 and AD255. Fabric OS 6.2 administrator guide 209
