2 distribute distribute Distributes data to switches in a fabric. SYNOPSIS distribute -p policy_list -d switch_list DESCRIPTION NOTES OPERANDS EXAMPLES Use this command to distribute data to a specified list of switches in the fabric. The distributed data must be from the list of currently supported policy sets: SCC Switch Connection Control Policy DCC Device Connection Control Policy PWD Password Database and Password Configuration Policy AUTH E_Port and F_Port Authentication Policy FCS Fabric Configuration Server Policy Each supported database has a switch-local configuration parameter that controls whether the database can be distributed and accepts distributions. Use the fddCfg command to view and modify these parameters. IP Filter policies cannot be distributed with the distribute command. Use the chassisDistribute command. The password database received from a switch running pre-v6.3.0 firmware will be rejected by a Virtual Fabric-enabled v6.3.0 chassis if it has more than one logical switch. 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.
