Maybe this should be added to the replication section of the admin guide.
The man page is consise:
serverID <integer> [<URL>]
Specify an integer ID from 0 to 4095 for this server (limited to 3 hexadecimal digits). These IDs are required
when using multimaster replication and each master must have a unique ID. Note that this requirement also applies
to separate masters contributing to a glued set of databases. If the URL is provided, this directive may be
specified multiple times, providing a complete list of participating servers and their IDs. The fully qualified
hostname of each server should be used in the supplied URLs. The IDs are used in the "replica id" field of all
CSNs generated by the specified server. The default value is zero. Example:
serverID 1
