2 fddCfg fddCfg Manages the fabric data distribution configuration parameters. Synopsis fddcfg --showall fddcfg --localaccept policy_list fddcfg --localreject policy_list fddcfg --fabwideset policy_list] Description Use this command to manage the fabric data distribution configuration parameters. These parameters control the fabric-wide consistency policy. Switches can be locally configured to allow or reject a security policy. Supported policies are Switch Connection Control (SCC), Device Connection Control (DCC) Password (PWD), Fabric Configuration Server (FCS), Fabric Element Authentication (AUTH), and IP Filter (IPFILTER) policies. Automatic distribution of a fabric-wide consistency policy is limited to SCC, DCC. and FCS policies. To enforce these policies fabric-wide in tolerant or strict mode, use the --fabwideset parameter. The following rules apply: • The SCC and DCC policies can be distributed to any switch and do not require all 6.0 switches to run Fabric OS v6.0 for automatic distribution • In tolerant mode, fabric-wide enforcement of FCS consistency policy will be blocked in "mixed fabrics" that include switches running firmware versions older than v6.0. If a v5.3/5.2 switch joins a fabric that has fabric-wide FCS policy enforcement in tolerant mode, a corresponding message is displayed. • In strict mode, fabric-wide enforcement of FCS consistency policy is possible in mixed fabrics. However, switches that do not support the policies will ignore them. The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Operands This command has the following operands: --showall Displays the accept/reject configuration of all policy sets and the fabric-wide consistency Policy on the switch. --localaccept policy_list Configures the switch to accept distributions of the specified policies. The policies in policy_list must be separated by semicolons and enclosed in quotation marks; for example, "SCC;DCC;FCS". --localreject policy_list Configures the switch to reject distributions of the specified policies in policy_list. However, a database cannot be rejected if it is specified in the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy. The policies in policy_list must be separated by semicolons and enclosed in quotation marks; for example, "SCC;DCC". --fabwideset policy_list Sets the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy. A database that is set to reject distributions cannot be specified in the Fabric-wide Consistency Policy. To set the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy as strict, use the strictness indicator "S". To set the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy as tolerant, omit the "S". A valid policy set should be of the form "SCC:S;DCC;FCS". To set the fabric-wide policy to NULL (default) or no fabric-wide consistency, use the policy Set "". 194 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1000599-01
