distribute
Distributes data to switches in a fabric.
Synopsis distribute -p policy_list -d switch_list
Description Use this command to distribute data to a specified list of switches in the fabric. The distributed
data must be from the list of currently supported policy sets:
SCC Switch Connection Control Policy
DCC Device Connection Control Policy
PWD Password Database and Password Configuration Policy
AUTH E_Port and F_Port Authentication Policy
FCS Fabric Configuration Server Policy
Each supported database has a switch-local configuration parameter that controls whether the
database can be distributed and accepts distributions. Use the fddCfg command to view and
modify these parameters.
Notes IP Filter policies cannot be distributed with the distribute command. Use the chassisDistribute
command.
Password database received from a switch running pre-v6.3.0 firmware will be rejected by a Virtual
Fabric-enabled v6.3.0 chassis if it has more than one logical switch.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
