Once the Ethernet cable is connected, access the switch remotely via the CLI or the

integrated Advanced Web Tools GUI soft ware.

2. Log in to the switch via Telnet, using the admin account.

Modify the FC domain ID (optional)

You can modify the FC domain ID. The default FC domain ID is 1. If the switch is not

powered on until after it is connected to the fabric, and the default FC domain ID is

already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value.

If the switch is connected to the fabric after it has been powered on, an d the default

domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.

To determine the domain ID s that are currently in use, issue the fabricshow command.

The number of domains is determined by your domain fabric licensing.

To modify the domain ID:

1. Issue the switchdisable comma nd to disable the switch.

2. Issue the configure command. The prompts display sequentially: enter a new

value or press Enter to accept each default value.
