When a policy is activated
Database is not automatically distributed to other switches in the fabric.
All updated and new policies of the type specified (SCC, DCC, or both)
are distributed to all Fabric 5.2.0 and later switches in the fabric.
Pre-Fabric OS 5.2.0 switches are allowed in the fabric, but no auto-
mated means are provided to ensure those switches have consistent
databases. A warning is issued if the databases do not match.
All updated and new policies of the type specified (SCC, DCC, or both)
are distributed to all switches in the fabric.
