Enabling or disabling the fabric configuration
feature
After being enabled with the fabric configuration feature, FCF switches exchange messages to select the
principal switch. Then the principal switch dynamically assigns domain IDs to all switches in the fabric.
•
To dynamically build a fabric, you must enable the fabric configuration feature on switches.
•
To statically build a fabric, you must disable the fabric configuration feature on switches and
manually configure domain IDs for the switches.
To enable or disable the fabric configuration feature:

By default, the fabric configuration feature is
enabled.
Enable or disable the feature for all switches
in the VSAN as required.
Setting a fabric name
The fabric name configured takes effect only on a statically-built fabric. You must configure the same
fabric name for all switches in a VSAN.
To set a fabric name:

name.
fabric-name name
By default, the WWN of the switch in a VSAN is
used as the fabric name of that VSAN.
Setting the switch priority
The priority value for FCF switches is in the range of 1 to 254. The smaller the value, the higher the
priority. The FCF switch with the highest priority will be selected as the principal switch.
The priority is configured on a per-VSAN basis, and one FCF switch can have different priorities in
different VSANs.
In a stable fabric, the configured priority does not take effect immediately. Therefore, the running priority
of a switch might be different from the configured priority. To validate the configured priority, use the
domain restart disruptive command to perform a disruptive reconfiguration. After a disruptive
