Configuring an IP Multicast Address for CFSoIP
For CFS protocol-specific distributions, such as the keepalive mechanism for detecting network topology
changes, use the IP multicast address to send and receive information. You can configure the IP multicast
address used to distribute CFSoIPv4.

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# no cfs ipv4 distribute
This will prevent CFS from distributing over IPv4 network.

Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Globally disables CFSoIP distribution for all applications
on the device.
You must disable CFSoIP before you can change
Note
the multicast address.
Configures the multicast address for CFS distribution over
IPv4. The ranges of valid IPv4 addresses are 239.255.0.0
through 239.255.255.255 and 239.192/16 through
239.251/16.
Globally enables CFSoIP distribution for all applications
on the device.
(Optional)
Shows the current state of CFS, including whether it is
enabled, its IP mode, and its multicast addresses.
(Optional)
Saves the change persistently through reboots and restarts
by copying the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
