Use the following procedure to reset the fabric configuration settings:
1. Access the Switch Manager.
2. Click Administration in the navigation bar.
3. Click the Config Upload/Download tab (see Figure 7 on page 25).
4. Click Reset Configuration in the task bar.
5. Click OK.
The switch is rebooted using system configuration default values.
Configuring the fabric
This section provides several procedures for configuring switches in the fabric to ensure connectivity.
Setting the PID format
XPath OS uses either core PID format (the default) or extended-edge PID format. All switches in a fabric
must be configured to use the same PID format, or the fabric will segment.
NOTE: When an MP Router is used as a Fibre Channel router (FC router), the MP Router PID format (for
the F_Ports and E_Ports) does not need to match the PID format for the attached fabrics. The PID format
configured for the EX_Port, however, must match the PID format of the attached fabric. The PID formats of
each edge fabric can be different from each other.
1. Access the Switch Manager.
2. Click Administration in the navigation bar.
3. Click the Configure Fabric tab (see Figure 6 on page 24).
4. Verify the PID format in the table.
5. Click the Edit button.
The Edit Fibre Channel Configuration window opens.
6. Select the PID format from the drop-down list.
7. Click OK.
NOTE: The MP Router must be disabled before you can change the PID format. If you do not explicitly
disable the MP Router before performing this procedure, Advanced Web Tools disables the MP Router
before applying the changes and then re-enables it afterward.
Setting the domain ID
A domain ID is assigned dynamically when a switch is enabled. However, you can manually set the
domain ID to control the number or to resolve a domain ID conflict when merging fabrics. All the domain
IDs in a fabric must be unique.
