Database distribution settings
The distribution settings control whether a switch accepts or rejects distributions of databases
from other switches and whether the switch may initiate a distribution. Configure the distribution
setting to reject when maintaining the database on a per-switch basis.
Table 36
lists the databases supported in Fabric OS v6.2.0 and later switches.
Use the chassisDistribute command to distribute IP filter policies. To distribute other security
policies, use the distribute command.
Displaying the database distribution settings
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the fddcfg
--
showall command.
