CFS Distribution of Allowed Domain ID Lists

You can enable the distribution of the allowed domain ID list configuration information to all Cisco SAN
switches in the fabric using the Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) infrastructure. This feature allows you to
synchronize the configuration across the fabric from the console of a single switch. Because the same
configuration is distributed to the entire VSAN, you can avoid a possible misconfiguration and the possibility
that two switches in the same VSAN have configured incompatible allowed domains.
Use CFS to distribute the allowed domain ID list to ensure consistency in the allowed domain ID lists on all
switches in the VSAN.
Note We recommend configuring the allowed domain ID list and committing it on the principal switch.
For additional information, refer to Using Cisco Fabric Services in the System Management Configuration
Guide for your device.

Enabling Distribution

You can enable (or disable) allowed domain ID list configuration distribution.
CFS distribution of allowed domain ID lists is disabled by default. You must enable distribution on all switches
to which you want to distribute the allowed domain ID lists.
