ACL policy distribution to other switches

This section explains how to manually distribute local ACL policy databases. The distribute command
has the following dependencies:

• All target switches must be running Fabric OS v6.2.0 or later.
• All target switches must accept the database distribution (refer to

Database distribution settings

on

page 239).

• The fabric must have a tolerant or no (absent) fabric-wide consistency policy (refer to

Fabric-wide

enforcement

on page 241).

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.

Distributing the local ACL policies

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions, or an account with OM

permissions for the FabricDistribution RBAC class of commands.

2. Enter the distribute -p command.
