This section describes how to configure domain IDs and includes the following topics:

About Domain IDs

The configured domain ID can be preferred or static. By default, the configured domain ID is 0 (zero)

and the configured type is preferred.

The 0 (zero) value can be configured only if you use the preferred option.

If you do not configure a domain ID, the local switch sends a random ID in its request. We recommend

that you use static domain IDs.

When a subordinate switch requests a domain, the following process takes place (see

The local switch sends a configured domain ID request to the principal switch.

The principal switch assigns the requested domain ID if available. Otherwise, it assigns another

available domain ID.
