SCC Policies
The switch connection control (SCC) policy is used to restrict which switches can join the fabric.
Switches are checked against the policy each time an E_Port-to-E_Port connection is made. The
policy is named SCC_POLICY and accepts members listed as WWNs, domain IDs, or switch names.
Only one SCC policy can be created.
By default, any switch is allowed to join the fabric; the SCC policy does not exist until it is created.
When connecting a Fibre Channel router to a fabric or switch that has an active SCC policy, the front
domain of the Fibre Channel router must be included in the SCC policy.
SCC policy states are shown in

No active policy
All switches can connect to the switch with the specified policy.
Active policy that has no members
All neighboring switches are segmented.
Active policy that has members
The neighboring switches not specified in the SCC policy are segmented.
Virtual Fabrics considerations for SCC policies
In a logical fabric environment the SCC policy enforcement is not done on the logical ISL. For a logical
ISL-based switch, the SCC policy enforcement is considered as the reference and the logical ISL is
formed if the SCC enforcement passes on the extended ISL. The following changes:
