Distribute - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade 8/12c Command Reference Manual

distribute

Distributes data to switches in a fabric.
SYNOPSIS
distribute -p policy_list -d switch_list
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to distribute data to a specified list of switches in the fabric. The distributed data must
be from the list of currently supported policy sets:
SCC
DCC
PWD
AUTH
FCS
Each supported database has a switch-local configuration parameter that controls whether the database
can be distributed and accepts distributions. Use the fddCfg command to view and modify these
parameters.
NOTES
IP Filter policies cannot be distributed with the distribute command. Use the chassisDistribute
command.
The password database received from a switch running pre-v6.3.0 firmware will be rejected by a Virtual
Fabric-enabled v6.3.0 chassis if it has more than one logical switch.
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.
