# SANbox Switch Properties

The default out-of-the-box factory settings for a SANbox with E_Ports switch are listed below.

Symbolic Name | A user defined name that identifies the switch. The default is SANbox.
Administrative state | The switch state requested by the user. (The operational state is the actual state of the switch.) Online - The switch is available. Offline - The switch is unavailable. Test - The switch is in test mode and is unavailable.
Domain ID | A unique Fibre Channel identifier for the switch. The Fibre Channel address consists of the domain ID, port ID, and the Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (ALPA). The domain ID must be unique for each switch in the fabric. The maximum number of switches within a fabric is 239 with each switch having a unique domain ID.
Timeout Values | The switch timeout values determine the timeout values for all ports on the switch. The R_A_TOV or E_D_TOV values are the same for all switches in the fabric. These values can only be changed if the switch operational state is offline. After taking the switch offline, these fields become active. R_A_TOV Resource Allocation Timeout. The number of milliseconds the switch waits to allow two ports to allocate enough resources to establish a link. The default is 10000. E_D_TOV Error Detect Timeout. The number of milliseconds a port is to wait for errors to clear. The default is 2000.
