Admin Domain interactions with other Fabric OS features

The administrative domain feature provides interaction with other Fabric OS features and across 
third-party applications. You can manage Admin Domains with Web Tools as well as the CLI. If the 
current Admin Domain owns the switch, you can perform Fabric Watch operations.

Admin Domain interactions do not extend to user session tunneling across switches. A user logged 
into a switch can control only the local switch ports as specified in the Admin Domain.

When the fabric is in secure mode, the following applies:

•

There is no support for ACL configuration under each Administrative Domain.

•

ACL configuration commands are allowed only in AD0 and AD255. None of the policy 
configurations are validated with AD membership. 

 lists some of the Fabric OS features and considerations that apply when using Admin 

Domains.

AD0 and AD255. If any user-defined Admin Domains exist, you can run ACL configuration 
commands only in AD255.
You cannot use ACL configuration commands or validate ACL policy configurations 
against AD membership under each Admin Domain.

Advanced Performance

All APM-related filter setup and statistics viewing is allowed only if the local switch is part 
of the current Admin Domain.

Fabric Watch

Fabric Watch configuration operations are allowed only if the local switch is part of the 
current Admin Domain.
