chassisDistribute
Distributes IP filter policies.
Synopsis chassisdistribute -db policy_db -fid FID | -domain domain_list [-force]
Description Use this command to manually distribute IP Filter policies. The behavior of this command depends
on whether Virtual Fabrics are enabled or disabled.
•
•
This command distributes the entire database and overwrites any existing data on the receiving
switches. The chassisDistribute command does not enforce FCS policy.
The target chassis or switches must be capable of accepting the distribution. The distribution is
aborted if one of the connected chassis or domains is configured to reject the distribution. Use the
fddCfg command to configure the fabric-wide policies that control distribution behavior.
The command output includes the following information:
FID
DOMAIN
CHASSISWWN
CHASSISNAME
SUPPORTED_DIST
This command distributes IP Filter policies only. To distribute other security policies, use the
distribute command.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
