NOTE: If the switch is attached to a fabric element, the switch and
element must have unique domain IDs. If the values are not unique,
the E_Port connection to the element segments and the switch cannot
communicate with the fabric.
b. At the Insistent Domain ID field, select Enabled or Disabled.
When this parameter is enabled, the domain ID configured in
the Preferred Domain ID field becomes the active domain
identification when the fabric initializes.
NOTE: If Enterprise Fabric Mode (an optional SANtegrity Binding
feature) or Fabric Binding is enabled, then Insistent Domain ID must
be enabled.
c. At the Rerouting Delay field, select Enabled or Disabled. When
this parameter is enabled, traffic is delayed through the fabric
by the specified error detect time out value (E_D_TOV). This
delay ensures Fibre Channel frames are delivered to their
destination in order, even if a change to the fabric topology
creates a new (shorter) transmission path.
NOTE: If Enterprise Fabric Mode (an optional SANtegrity Binding
feature) or Fabric Binding is enabled, then Rerouting Delay must be
enabled.
d. At the Domain RSCNs field, select Enabled or Disabled. When
this parameter is enabled, attached devices can register to
receive notification when another attached device changes
state.
NOTE: If Enterprise Fabric Mode (an optional SANtegrity Binding
feature) or Fabric Binding is enabled, then Domain RSCN must be
enabled.
