Creating new SVM --- port a0a is not a member of a broadcast domain

HI,

I am new to cluster mode 8.3. I am setting up my first SVM now.

After I configure it, it says... port a0a-1009 is not a member of a broadcast domain.

Does anyone know what this message typically means?

Thanks,

Each port must belong to any broadcast domain which defines reachable L2 network domain - in short, object corresponding to LAN. Ports in same LAN should belongs to identical broadcast domain.
