Distributing ACL policies to other switches

This section explains how to manually distribute local ACL policy databases to Fabric 5.2.0 and later
switches. The distribute command has the following dependencies:
• All target switches must be running Fabric OS 5.2.0 or later.
• All target switches must accept the database distribution (see
settings" on page 130).
• The fabric must have a tolerant or no (absent) fabric-wide consistency policy (see
consistency policy
If the fabric-wide consistency policy for a database is strict, the database cannot be manually
distributed. When you set a strict fabric-wide consistency policy for a database, the distribution
mechanism is automatically invoked whenever the database changes.
• The local distribution setting must be accepted. To be able to initiate the distribute command, set
the local distribution to accept.

SCC - accept
DCC - accept
