> # Contiguous Domain ID Assignments

> By default, the contiguous domain assignment is disabled. When a subordinate switch requests the principal switch for two or more domains and the domains are not contiguous, the following cases apply:

> - If the contiguous domain assignment is enabled in the principal switch, the principal switch locates contiguous domains and assigns them to the subordinate switches. If contiguous domains are not available, the NX-OS software rejects this request.
> - If the contiguous domain assignment is disabled in the principal switch, the principal switch assigns the available domains to the subordinate switch.
