Administrative Domains overview

Figure 43 shows an unfiltered view of a fabric with two switches, three devices, and two Admin

Domains. The devices are labeled with device WWNs and the switches are labeled with domain ID

and switch WWNs.

Figure 44 shows the filtered view of the fabric as seen from AD3 and AD4. The switch WWNs are

converted to the NAA=5 syntax; the device WWNs and domain IDs remain the same.
