2 chassisDistribute chassisDistribute Synopsis Distributes IP filter policies. chassisdistribute -db policy_db -fid FID | -domain domain_list [-force] Description Use this command to manually distribute IP Filter policies. The behavior of this command depends on whether Virtual Fabrics are enabled or disabled. • In Virtual Fabric mode, this command distributes the IP filter policy databases from a specified logical switch to all chassis that are connected through the logical switch on which the command is issued. • If Virtual fabrics are disabled, the IP filter policy databases are distributed to a specified list of Domain IDs. This command distributes the entire database and overwrites any existing data on the receiving switches. The chassisDistribute command does not enforce FCS policy. The target chassis or switches must be capable of accepting the distribution. The distribution is aborted if one of the connected chassis or domains is configured to reject the distribution. Use the fddCfg command to configure the fabric-wide policies that control distribution behavior. The command output includes the following information: FID Indicates whether Virtual Fabrics are enabled or not on the domain that receives the distribution. If Virtual Fabrics are enabled, the FID is displayed, and all logical switches which are part of the chassis are targeted to receive the distribution. DOMAIN Displays the Domain ID of the originating switch. CHASSISWWN Displays the WWN of the originating chassis in Fabric OS v6.3.0 switches. Displays the originating switch WWN in switches running earlier Fabric OS versions. CHASSISNAME Displays the name of the originating chassis.. SUPPORTED_DIST Displays yes if the distribution is supported. Displays no if the distribution is not supported. This command distributes IP Filter policies only. To distribute other security policies, or to distribute IP Filter policies within fabrics that run pre-v6.3.0 versions of Fabric OS, use the distribute command. Note 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.
