In Cisco VSAN, by default VSAN is enabled and its ID is 1 and all the ports belo ngs to default VSAN.

By default, Cisco allows 255 VSANs can be created on a single physical switch (t heo), but EMC best practice is 20 VSAN per switch you can have multiple principal and multiple subordinate based on VSAN VSAN Attributes:: VSAN ID (2 - 4093) VSAN Name Members - Interfaces State - Active / Suspended When you create a VSAN, the default state of VSAN is Active, you can also make i t suspended for later use. Since we maximum of Domain ID is 239, you can add maximum of 239 physical switch es in a VSAN. Trunking is merging of VSAN accross different physical switches. TE port mode found in cisco for ISL, it becomes Automatically, if the trunkmode is turned on. for both physical swiches. switchport trunk mode on /off Every port is shutdown and every port is capable of trunkmode when a VSAN is deleted, the VSAN id of the ports would become 4094 (Isolated VSA N) Create VSAN - Config Mode SW# config SW(Config)# VSAN Database SW(Config-VSan DB) VSAN 2 SW(Config-VSan DB) VSAN 3

If the DID 5 is used by other switch then if 6 is available, then it would give 6 and subordinate accepts without any issue. Static Mode :: subordinate requests for DID 5, if the DID is not available, the subordinate wont join to the domain and remain segmented. you can configure a range for static mode between (1 -239) for static mode.
