• "Configuring the database distribution settings" on page 122 Configure a switch to accept or reject the distribution of polices. • "Distributing ACL policies to other switches" on page 123 Configure the distribution of policies to switches within the fabric. Displaying ACL policies Use the secPolicyShow command to display the active and defined policy sets. Additionally, in a defined policy set, policies created in the same login session also appear but these policies are automatically deleted if the user logs out without saving. The following example shows a switch that has no SCC, DCC, and FCS policies. To display the ACL policies: 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Type the secPolicyShow command: switch:admin> secPolicyShow ACTIVE POLICY SET DEFINED POLICY SET switch:admin> Configuring an FCS policy Fabric Configuration Server (FCS) policy in base Fabric OS may be performed on a local switch basis and may be performed on any switch in the fabric with Fabric OS 6.0.0 or later. Any switch with a pre-5.3.0 version of Fabric OS cannot be included in the FCS list. The FCS policy is not present by default, but must be created using the command secPolicyCreate using CLI or from a management interface. When the FCS policy is created, the WWN of the local switch is automatically included in the FCS list. Additional switches can be included in the FCS list by invoking the secPolicyAdd command or using a manageability interface. The first switch in the list becomes the primary FCS switch. Only the primary FCS switch is allowed to modify and distribute the database within the fabric. Automatic distribution is supported and you can either configure the switches in your fabric to accept the FCS policy using the fddcfg --fabswideset command or manually distribute the FCS policy using the distribute -p command. Changes made to the FCS policy are saved to permanent memory only after the changes have been saved or activated; they can be aborted later if you have set your fabric to distribute the changes manually. Table 25 FCS policy states Policy state Characteristics No active policy Active policy with one entry Active policy with multiple entries Any switch can perform fabric wide configuration changes. A primary FCS switch is designated (local switch), but there are no backup FCS switches. If the primary FCS switch becomes unavailable for any reason, the fabric is left without an FCS switch. A primary FCS switch and one or more backup FCS switches are designated. If the primary FCS switch becomes unavailable, the next switch in the list becomes the primary FCS switch. The FCS policy is designed to accommodate mixed fabric environments that contain switches with pre-5.3.0 and later versions of Fabric OS.
