Configuring the Director Ordinarily, you do not need to change values in this dialog box from their defaults. The only exception is the Preferred Domain ID. Change this value if the director will participate in a multiswitch fabric. 1. Use information under "Switch Parameters" to change settings as required for parameters in this dialog box. 2. After you change settings, click the Activate button. 3. Set the director online. For instructions, see "Setting Director Online State" on page 81. Switch Parameters Configure the following parameters as required by your fabric. Domain ID The domain identification is a value between 1 and 31 that provides a unique identification for the director in a fabric. A fabric director cannot contain the same domain ID as another director or their E_Ports will segment when they try to join. In the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, a field is provided to enter a preferred domain ID and a check box is provided to enable this ID as an insistent domain ID. Preferred Note: To change this value, you must first set the director offline. Choose Set Online State from the Maintenance menu to display the Set Online State dialog box, then click Set Offline. Be sure to set the director back online after you change this value. Use this field to set the a unique domain ID for the director. The default value is 1. Set a value between 1 and 31. When a director comes online with a preferred ID, it requests an ID from the fabric's principal director (indicating its preferred value as part of the request). If the requested domain ID is not allocated to the fabric, the domain ID is assigned to the requesting director. If the requested domain ID is already allocated, an unused domain ID is assigned. Note that you must set the director offline before you can change to the preferred domain ID. The preferred domain ID must be unique for each director and switch in a fabric. If two switches or directors have the same preferred domain ID, the E_Ports segment, causing the fabric to segment. 120 Director Product Manager User Guide
