Switch was principal prior to sending or receiving a build fabric (BF) request.
This value is generated by the switch to initiate a fabric reconfiguration. This
value should not be assigned.
0x3 - 0xFE
Priority value range. Choose a value in this range to indicate priority. Higher
numbers mean lower priority.

Switch is not capable of acting as a principal switch. This is a user-defined
value. Use --enable with a new priority to revert to this condition.
-force | -f
Forces a fabric rebuild regardless of whether the switch is principal or
subordinate. This option is not valid with the --disable command.
--disable
Disables principal switch selection. This command resets the priority to the default
value 0xFE.
[-f] mode
Sets the principal switch selection mode. Specify 1 to enable principal switch
selection mode. Specify 0 to disable principal switch selection mode. Optionally,
use the -f operand to force a fabric rebuild. Mode changes take effect when the
fabric rebuilds. This operand is optional.
