cfs distribute Chapter 4 C Commands Send documentation comments to [email protected] cfs distribute To enable or disable Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) distribution on the switch, use the cfs distribute command in configuration mode. To disable this feature, use the no form of the command. cfs distribute no cfs distribute Syntax Description This command has no other arguments or keywords. Defaults CFS distribution is enabled. Command Modes Configuration mode. Command History Release 2.1(1a) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines By default CFS is in the distribute mode. In the distribute mode, fabric wide distribution is enabled. Applications can distribute data/configuration to all CFS-capable switches in the fabric where the application exists. This is the normal mode of operation. If CFS distribution is disabled, using the no cfs distribute command causes the following to occur: • CFS and the applications using CFS on the switch are isolated from the rest of the fabric even though there is physical connectivity. • All CFS operations are restricted to the isolated switch. • All the CFS commands continue to work similar to the case of a physically isolated switch. • Other CFS operations (for example, lock, commit, and abort) initiated at other switches do not have any effect at the isolated switch. • CFS distribution is disabled over both Fibre Channel and IP. Examples The following example shows how to disable CFS distribution: switch# config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. switch(config)# no cfs distribute The following example shows how to reenable CFS distribution: switch# config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. switch(config)# cfs distribute Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference 4-8 OL-18089-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
