Validating an Admin Domain member list
You can validate the device and switch member list. You can list non-existing or offline Admin Domain
members. You can also identify misconfigurations of the Admin Domain.
The Admin Domain validation process is not applicable for AD0, because AD0 implicitly contains all
unassigned online switches and their devices.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Switch to the AD255 context, if you are not already in that context.
ad --select 255
3. Enter the ad --validate command.
ad --validate ad_id -m mode
If you do not specify any parameters, the entire AD database (transaction buffer, defined
configuration, and effective configuration) is displayed.
If you do not specify an Admin Domain, information about all existing Admin Domains is displayed.
The -m option can be used with the following values:
• 0 to display the Admin Domain configuration in the current transaction buffer.
• 1 to display the Admin Domain configuration stored in the persistent memory (defined
configuration).
• 2 to display the currently enforced Admin Domain configuration (effective configuration).
The following example validates the member list of Admin Domain 10 in the current transaction buffer
switch:AD255:admin> ad --validate 10 -m 0
Current AD Number: 255 AD Name: AD255
Transaction buffer configuration:
---------------------------------
AD Number: 2 AD Name: ad2 State: Active
Switch port members: 1,1; 1,3; 2,5+; 3,6;
----------------------------
* - Member does not exist
+ - Member is AD Unaware
