Answer: B

Explanation: The Fibre Channel domain (fcdomain) feature performs principal switch selection, domain ID distribution, FC ID allocation, and fabric reconfiguration functions as described in the FC-SW-2 standards. The domains are configured on a per VSAN basis. If you do not configure a domain ID, the local switch uses a random ID.

This section describes each fcdomain phase:

•

Principal switch selection ― This phase guarantees the selection of a unique principal switch across the fabric.

•

Domain ID distribution ― This phase guarantees each switch in the fabric obtains a unique domain ID.

•

FC ID allocation ― This phase guarantees a unique FC ID assignment to each device attached to the corresponding switch in the fabric.

•

Fabric reconfiguration ― This phase guarantees a resynchronization of all switches in the fabric to ensure they simultaneously restart a new principal switch selection phase.
