Configure a fabric name. fabric-name name Remarks N/A N/A By default, the fabric name is null. If the user does not configure a fabric name, the switch WWN is used as the fabric name after FCoE is enabled. Setting the switch priority The priority value for FCF switches is in the range of 1 to 254. The smaller the value, the higher the priority. The FCF switch with the highest priority will be elected as the principal switch. The priority is configured on a per-VSAN basis, and one FCF switch can have different priorities in different VSANs. In a stable fabric, the configured priority does not take effect immediately. Therefore, the running priority of a switch might be different from the configured priority. To validate the configured priority, use the domain restart disruptive command to perform a disruptive reconfiguration. After a disruptive reconfiguration, the running priority could still be different from the configured priority. See the following possibilities on the principal and a non-principal switch, depending on the configured priority value, as shown in Table 2. Table 2 Configured priority and running priority mappings Configured priority ≤ 2 > 2 Running priority • Principal switch-Same as the configured priority. • Non-principal switch-3. • Principal switch-2. • Non-principal switch-Same as the configured priority. 25

Setting the switch priority
The priority value for FCF switches is in the range of 1 to 254. The smaller the value, the higher the
priority. The FCF switch with the highest priority will be elected as the principal switch.
The priority is configured on a per-VSAN basis, and one FCF switch can have different priorities in
different VSANs.
In a stable fabric, the configured priority does not take effect immediately. Therefore, the running priority
of a switch might be different from the configured priority. To validate the configured priority, use the
domain restart disruptive
command to perform a disruptive reconfiguration. After a disruptive
reconfiguration, the running priority could still be different from the configured priority. See the following
possibilities on the principal and a non-principal switch, depending on the configured priority value, as
shown in
