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 keepalive mechanism for detecting network topology
changes, use the IP multicast address to send and receive information.
CFS distributions for application data use directed unicast.
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:
switch(config)# cfs ipv4 mcast-address 239.255.1.1
Distribution over this IP type will be affected
Change multicast address for CFS-IP ?
Are you sure? (y/n) [n] y
The following example shows how to revert to the default IPv4 multicast address for CFS distribution
over IPv4:
switch(config)# no cfs ipv4 mcast-address 10.1.10.100
Distribution over this IP type will be affected
Change multicast address for CFS-IP ?
Are you sure? (y/n) [n] y
