Usage Guidelines Before using this command, enable CFS distribution over IPv4 using the cfs ipv4 distribute command.
All CFS over IP enabled switches with similar multicast addresses form one CFS over IP fabric. CFS
protocol specific distributions, such as the keep-alive mechanism for detecting network topology
changes, use the IP multicast address to send and receive information.
CFS distributions for application data use directed unicast.
Note
You can configure a value for a CFS over IP multicast address. The default IPv4 multicast address is
239.255.70.83.
Examples The following example shows how to configure an IP multicast address for CFS over IPv4.
