switchEnable

The

switchEnable

command enables the Switch and provides Fabric

information. The Switch may need to be enabled after maintenance and
diagnostic tests.

In Figure B-34, the Switch is enabled with a domain ID of 1. After the Fabric
is reconfigured this Switch is the principle address manager that is capable of
assigning domain IDs to other Switches in the same Fabric.

You can observe and verify this process by watching the front panel LEDs
change color from green to slow flashing amber as each port goes inactive.
