80 CHAPTER 4: XRN CONFIGURATION
Table 60 Configuring FTM
The Switch 5500 Series: the SI units supports basic XRN, that is, Distributed Device
Management (DDM) and Distributed Link Aggregation (DLA); the EI units support
enhanced XRN, that is DDM, Distributed Resilient Routing (DRR).
Specifying the Stacking
VLAN of the Switch
You can use the command in the following table to specify the
stacking VLAN of the
Switch.
Perform the following configuration in System View.
Table 61 Specifying the Stacking VLAN of the Switch
By default, the stacking VLAN is VLAN 4093.
You should specify the stacking VLAN before the Fabric is established.
Setting Unit IDs for
Switches
You can use the command in the following table to set unit IDs for Switches. Make
sure to set different unit IDs for different Switches in a Fabric. On the Switches that
support auto numbering, FTM will automatically number the Switches to constitute a
Fabric, so that each Switch has a unique unit ID in the Fabric.
Perform the following configuration in System View.
Table 62 Setting unit IDs for Switches
n If the modified unit ID does not exist in the Fabric, the Switch sets its priority to 5
and saves it in the unit Flash memory.
Device Configuration Default Settings Comment

Make sure that you have set
different unit IDs to different
Switches, so that the Fabric can
operate normally after all the
Switches are interconnected.
