Fabric Parameters
Fabric settings control the overall behavior and operation of the fabric. Some of these settings, such as
the domain, are assigned automatically and may differ from one switch to another in a given fabric. Other
parameters, such as buffer-to-buffer credit or timeout values, can be modified to suit specific applications
or operating environments but must be in agreement among all switches to allow formation of the fabric.
The following fabric settings can be modified (* = multiplication symbol)

Fabric parameters are defined as follows:
Domain
The domain number uniquely identifies a switch in a fabric. This value is
automatically assigned by the fabric. The range is 1-239.
Enable 8-bit Dynamic Area Mode
When enabled, this feature supports Dynamic Area Mode in default partitions on
the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, and DCX 8510-4. Dynamic Area Mode
is disabled by default. When enabled, Dynamic Area Mode supports both static
and dynamic area assignment. Use the portAddress command to perform a
static assignment of an area to a given port. In Dynamic Area Mode, areas are
dynamically assigned to the ports (up to a 255 limit). Port area assignments are
persistent; however, disabling Dynamic Area Mode with configure resets the area
assignments. This feature is configurable only on the default switch.
Enabling Dynamic Area Mode fails under one or more of the following conditions:
•
The number of ports in the default partition exceeds 255.
•
An AP blade with FL ports is present in the chassis (Brocade Encryption
blade, or FCoE 10-24.
