Domain IDs
• The domain ID that the principal switch has assigned to the requesting switch
In specific situations, the changes are as follows:
• When the received domain ID is not within the allowed list, the requested domain ID becomes the
• When the assigned and requested domain IDs are the same, the preferred and static options are not
• When the assigned and requested domain IDs are different, the following cases apply:
If you change the configured domain ID, the change is only accepted if the new domain ID is included in all
the allowed domain ID lists currently configured in the VSAN. Alternatively, you can also configure
zero-preferred domain ID.
Caution
You must enter the fcdomain restart command if you want to apply the configured domain changes to the
runtime domain.
If you have configured an allow domain ID list, the domain IDs that you add must be in that range for the

relevant, and the assigned domain ID becomes the runtime domain ID.
◦ If the configured type is static, the assigned domain ID is discarded, all local interfaces are isolated,
and the local switch assigns itself the configured domain ID, which becomes the runtime domain
ID.
◦ If the configured type is preferred, the local switch accepts the domain ID assigned by the principal
switch and the assigned domain ID becomes the runtime domain ID.
