Sets the IP address of a Network Domain seed. This command is used for 
configuring a WX switch as a member of a Network Domain. You can 
specify multiple Network Domain seeds and configure one as the primary 
seed. 

Syntax — 

set network-domain mode member seed-ip ip-addr 

[affinity num]

„

— IP address of the Network Domain seed, in dotted 

decimal notation.

„

— Preference for using the specified Network Domain seed. You 

can specify a value from 1 through 10. A higher number indicates a 
greater preference.

Defaults — The default affinity for a Network Domain seed is 5.

Access — Enabled.

History —Introduced in MSS 4.1.

Usage — You can specify multiple Network Domain seeds on the WX 
switch. When the WX switch needs to connect to a Network Domain 
seed, it first attempts to connect to the seed with the highest affinity. If 
that seed is unavailable, the WX attempts to connect to the seed with the 
next-highest affinity. After a connection is made to a non-highest-affinity 
seed, the WX switch then periodically attempts to connect to the 
highest-affinity seed.

Examples — The following command sets the WX switch as a member 
of the Network Domain whose seed has the IP address 192.168.1.8:

WX1200# set network-domain mode member seed-ip 192.168.1.8
success: change accepted.

The following command sets the WX switch as a member of a Network 
Domain whose seed has the IP address 192.168.9.254 and sets the 
affinity for that seed to 7. If the WX switch specifies other Network 
Domain seeds, and they are configured with the default affinity of 5, 
then 192.168.9.254 becomes the primary Network Domain seed for this 
WX switch.
