Managing switches

In McDATA Fabric mode, the McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch will display the domain IDs the same as other
M-series directors and edge switches no matter which management utility is used. The valid domain ID
range is 1—31 for McDATA Fabric mode.

Prior to changing from McDATA Fabric mode to Standard mode, it is recommended that the switch be
isolated from the fabric (take switch offline) before making the configuration changes and all domain IDs in
the fabric should be noted to avoid conflicts. Once isolated, using McDATA Web Server, McDATA Element
Manager, or the CLI, change interop mode to Standard and change the domain ID to a unique ID within
the valid range of 97—127 for standard mode. It is then recommended that the Domain ID be locked to
prevent conflict within the fabric. When all changes have been made and the switch has been brought
back online, it should then be added into the fabric.

Table 12

lists the corresponding domain ID values for each interop mode: Standard mode and McDATA

Fabric mode.
