Verification of Switch Connectivity
Use the procedures in this section to verify connectivity to a destination switch.
Note The FC ID variable used in these procedures is the domain controller address; it is not a duplication of
the domain ID.
Verifying Switch Connectivity Using Fabric Manager
To verify connectivity to a destination switch using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Fabricxx > VSANxx > Domain Manager to display the domain ID for the destination switch.
Step 2 Concatenate the domain ID with FFFC to obtain the domain controller address. For example, if the
domain ID is 0xda(218), the concatenated ID is 0xfffcda.
Step 3 Choose Tools > Ping... to verify reachability to the destination switch.
Verifying Switch Connectivity Using the CLI
To verify connectivity to a destination switch using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use the show fcdomain domain-list vsan command to display the domain ID for the destination switch.
switch# show fcdomain domain-list vsan 200
Number of domains: 7
Domain ID WWN
