Unrestricted Uncoordinated Distributions; Disabling Or Enabling Cfs Distribution On A Switch; Verifying Cfs Distribution Status; Cfs Distribution Over Ip - Cisco AP775A - Nexus Converged Network Switch 5010 Configuration Manual

Using Cisco Fabric Services
Coordinated distribution has two variants:
• CFS driven —The stages are executed by CFS in response to an feature request without intervention
• Feature driven—The stages are under the complete control of the feature.
Coordinated distributions are used to distribute information that can be manipulated and distributed from
multiple switches, for example, the port security configuration.

Unrestricted Uncoordinated Distributions

Unrestricted uncoordinated distributions allow multiple parallel distributions in the network in the presence
of an existing coordinated distribution. Unrestricted uncoordinated distributions are allowed to run in parallel
with all other types of distributions.

Disabling or Enabling CFS Distribution on a Switch

If the switch is provisioned with Fibre Channel ports, CFS over Fibre Channel is enabled by default. CFS
over IP must be explicitly enabled.
You can globally disable CFS on a switch to isolate the features using CFS from network-wide distributions
while maintaining physical connectivity. When CFS is globally disabled on a switch, CFS operations are
restricted to the switch.

Step 2
Step 3

Verifying CFS Distribution Status

The show cfs status command displays the status of CFS distribution on the switch.
switch# show cfs status
Distribution : Enabled
Distribution over IP : Enabled - mode IPv4
IPv4 multicast address : 239.255.70.83
IPv6 multicast address : ff15::efff:4653
Distribution over Ethernet : Enabled

CFS Distribution over IP

CFS distribution over IP supports the following features:
• Physical distribution over an entirely IP network.
• Physical distribution over a hybrid Fibre Channel and IP network with the distribution reaching all
OL-16597-01
from the feature.
Command or Action
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# no cfs distribute
switch(config)# cfs distribute
switches that are reachable over either Fibre Channel or IP.
Unrestricted Uncoordinated Distributions
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Globally disables CFS distribution (CFS over Fibre
Channel or IP) for all applications on the switch.
(Optional)
Enables CFS distribution on the switch. This is the
default.
