it is recommended that these changes be done during down time or off-peak hours.

Switches and Firmware Versions” on page 74).
✓ Ensure that each switch has a unique Domain ID and that it falls within the proper range
(see “Domain ID Configuration” on page 75).
✓ Set all switches to the appropriate timeout values (see “Timeout Values” on page 81).
