McDATA 4416 Manual De Usuario

The domain ID lock allows (False) or prevents (True) the reassignment of the 
domain ID on that switch. Switches come from the factory with the domain 
ID set to 1, the domain ID lock set to False, and the principal priority set to 
254. Refer to the McDATA Switch Module Management Guide for information 
about changing the domain ID and domain ID lock using McDATA 
Embedded Web Server. Refer to the Set Config command in the McDATA 
4416 Command Line Interface Guide for information about changing the default 
domain ID, domain ID lock, and principal priority parameters.

An unresolved domain ID conflict means that the switch with the higher 
WWN will isolate as a separate fabric, and the Logged-In LEDs on both 
switches will flash green to show the affected ports. If you connect a new 
switch to an existing fabric with its domain ID unlocked, and a domain ID 
conflict occurs, the new switch will isolate as a separate fabric. However, you 
can remedy this by resetting the new switch or taking it offline then back 
online. The principal switch will reassign the domain ID and the switch will 
join the fabric.

Domain ID reassignment is not reflected in zoning that is defined by domain 

ID/port number pair or Fibre Channel address. You must reconfigure zones that are 
affected by domain ID reassignment. To prevent zoning definitions from becoming 
invalid under these conditions, lock the domain IDs using McDATA Embedded Web 
Server, McDATA Element Manager, or the Set Config Switch command.

You can configure your switch module to suit the demands of your 
environment by enabling or disabling a variety of switch services. Familiarize 
yourself with the following switch services and determine which ones you 
need:

•

: Provides for the management of the switch over a Telnet 

connection. Disabling this service is not recommended. The default is 
enabled.

•

: Provides for secure remote connections to the switch 

using SSH. Your workstation must also use an SSH client. The default is 
disabled.

•

: Provides for out-of-band management of  SNMP 

and CIM. If this service is disabled, the switch can only be managed 
inband or through the serial port. The default is enabled.

•

: Provides for the management of the switch over an 

inter-switch link using McDATA Embedded Web Server, McDATA 
Element Manager, SNMP, or management server. If you disable inband 
management, you can no longer communicate with that switch by means 
other than a direct Ethernet or serial connection.The default is enabled.
