The default domain ID is 1. If the switch module 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
module is automatically reset to a unique value. If the switch module 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
converged network switch or switch in the fabric. Identify an unused domain ID.
a. Disable the converged network switch being configured using the switchDisable
command.
b. Enter the configure command at the root prompt.
The command prompts display sequentially. Enter a new value at the Domain prompt or
press Enter to accept the default value. The converged network switch now has a unique
domain ID and can join the fabric. Following is an example of command output.
