About CFS Distribution of Allowed Domain ID Lists
You can enable the distribution of the allowed domain ID list configuration information to all Cisco SAN
switches in the fabric using the Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) infrastructure. This feature allows you to
synchronize the configuration across the fabric from the console of a single switch. Because the same
configuration is distributed to the entire VSAN, you can avoid possible misconfiguration and the
possibility that two switches in the same VSAN have configured incompatible allowed domains.
Use CFS to distribute the allowed domain ID list to ensure consistency in the allowed domain ID lists
on all switches in the VSAN.
Note
We recommend configuring the allowed domain ID list and committing it on the principal switch.
For more information about CFS, see
Chapter 1, “Using Cisco Fabric Services.”
Enabling Distribution
CFS distribution of allowed domain ID lists is disabled by default. You must enable distribution on all
switches to which you want to distribute the allowed domain ID lists.
To enable (or disable) allowed domain ID list configuration distribution, perform this task:
Locking the Fabric
The first action that modifies the existing configuration creates the pending configuration and locks the
feature in the fabric. After you lock the fabric, the following conditions apply:
•
No other user can make any configuration changes to this feature.
•
A pending configuration is created by copying the active configuration. Subsequent modifications
are made to the pending configuration and remain there until you commit the changes to the active
configuration (and other switches in the fabric) or discard them.
Step 2
switch(config)#
fcdomain allowed
domain-id range
vsan
vsan-id
Configures the list to allow switches with
the domain ID range in the specified VSAN.
switch(config)#
no
fcdomain allowed
domain-id
range
vsan
vsan-id
Reverts to the factory default of allowing
domain IDs from 1 through 239 in the
specified VSAN.
