cfs distribute Chapter 8 Fibre Channel Commands Send comments to [email protected] cfs distribute To enable or disable Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) distribution on the switch, use the cfs distribute command. 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. Command Default CFS distribution is enabled. Command Modes Configuration mode Command History Release 4.0(0)N1(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 configuration data to all CFS-capable switches in the fabric where the application exists. This is the normal mode of operation. If you disable CFS distribution by entering the no cfs distribute command, the following events occur: • The CFS commands continue to operate. However, 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. • 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)# no cfs distribute The following example shows how to reenable CFS distribution: switch(config)# cfs distribute Related Commands Command show cfs status Description Displays whether CFS distribution is enabled or disabled.
