When connecting two switches together, it is best practice that the following parameters are differentiated:
• Domain ID
• Switch name
• Chassis name

You must also verify the following fabric parameters are identical on each switch for a fabric to merge:
• R_A_TOV (Resource Allocation TimeOut Value)
• E_D_TOV (Error Detect TimeOut Value)
• Data Field Size
• Sequence Level Switching
• Disable Device Probing
• Suppress Class F Traffic
• Per-frame Route Priority
