I am new to the Cisco switches. So here is a dumb question. I was under the impression that switch has a unique doamin ID. But I see a unique domain ID for each VSAN also. Why is that and is it being set by the switch itself or defined manually ? I ...
Hi All,Today I added two edge (9216A) switches to my core (9509) switches. Each edge and a core had one ISL in VSAN0001 created so the edge could become part of the single fabric. The core switches have two ISLs between them for management.I change...
Greetings,When using the new 4 Gbps cards, you don't loose the ability to use the other ports in the port group when the port becomes an E/TE port. I would like to know if you need to dedicate the 4 Gbps speed on the port when it becomes an E port. ...

I am adding a 9216 to a McData fabric. The current McData switch is softzoned, but I will be working offline so all zoning will be disabled. I read the white paper and the only thing that reallly jumped out was making sure the domain id was in a pr...
Hello everyone,I have a customer that was looking at being able to house about 2 TB of data centrally as opposed to remotely as it is now. I was looking at the WAE-7326 and had a few questions.1) Do you really get LAN-like performance at the remote ...
