Enabling or disabling the fabric configuration
feature
After you enable the fabric configuration feature on FC switches, the switches exchange messages to
select the principal switch. Then the principal switch dynamically assigns domain IDs to all switches in the
fabric. After you disable the fabric configuration feature on FC switches, the switches will not select a
principal switch and cannot obtain domain IDs dynamically. You must configure a unique domain ID for
each switch.
• 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.

The priority is configured on a per-VSAN basis, and one FC switch can have different priorities in
different VSANs.
