Maintenence Analysis Procedures
d. At the Switch Priority field, select Principal, Never Principal, or
Default, then click OK or Activate. The switch priority value 
designates the fabric’s principal switch, which is assigned a 
priority of 1 and controls the allocation and distribution of domain 
IDs for all fabric elements (including itself).
Principal is the highest priority setting, Default is the next 
highest, and Never Principal is the lowest priority setting. The 
setting Never Principal means the fabric element is incapable of 
becoming a principal switch. If all elements are set to Principal or
