Setting the domain ID
To set the switch domain ID, follow these steps.
1. Log on to the switch by Telnet, using the admin account.
2. Modify the domain ID if required.
The default domain ID is 1.
• If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in
use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value.
• If the switch is connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in
use, the fabric segments. To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on
another switch in the fabric.
a. Disable the switch by entering the switchDisable command.
b. Enter the configure command. The command prompts display sequentially; enter a new value or press Enter
to accept each default value.
c. Enter y after the “Fabric param” prompt:
Fabric param (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
d. Enter a unique domain ID (such as the domain ID used by the previous switch, if still available):
Domain: (1..239) [1] 3
e. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl-D to accept the remaining settings without completing all the
prompts.
f. Re-enable the switch by entering the switchEnable command.
Setting the date and time
The date and time settings are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a
switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly. However, because the date and time are used
for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, you should set them correctly.
Setting the date
To set the date, follow these steps.
1. If necessary, log on to the switch by Telnet, using the admin account.
2. Enter the date command, using the following syntax:
date "mmddHHMMyy"
Where:
• mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
• dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
• HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
• MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
• yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970 through
1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069).
