chassisDistribute
Distributes IP filter policies.
SYNOPSIS chassisdistribute -db ipfilter -fid target_FID [-force]
chassisdistribute -db ipfilter -domain target_domain_list [-force]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to manually distribute the IP Filter policy database. The behavior of this command
depends on whether Virtual Fabrics are enabled or disabled.
•
If Virtual Fabrics are enabled on the originating switch, this command distributes the IP filter policy
database to all chassis that are connected through the specified logical switch (FID). If the target
chassis has Virtual Fabrics enabled, the IP filter policy database is distributed to all logical switches
configured on the target. If Virtual Fabrics are not enabled on the target, the IP filter policy database
is distributed to the default logical switch of the target.
•
If Virtual fabrics are disabled on the originating switch, the IP filter policy database is distributed to a
list of target switches specified by their Domain IDs. If a target domain has Virtual Fabrics enabled,
the IP filter policy database is distributed to all logical switches on the target domain. If Virtual
Fabrics are not enabled on the target domain, the IP filter policy database is distributed to the default
logical switch of the target domain.
This command distributes the entire IP Filter database and overwrites any existing IP Filter policies on
the receiving switches. The chassisDistribute command does not enforce FCS policy.
The target chassis or switches must be capable of accepting the distribution. The distribution is aborted if
one of the connected chassis or domains is configured to reject the distribution. Use the fddCfg
command to configure the fabric-wide policies that control distribution behavior.
The command output includes the following information:
FID
Indicates whether Virtual Fabrics are enabled or not on the domain that receives
the distribution. If Virtual Fabrics are enabled, the FID is displayed, and all logical
switches which are part of the chassis are targeted to receive the distribution.
DOMAIN
Displays the Domain ID of the originating switch.
CHASSISWWN
Displays the WWN of the originating or receiving chassis. Displays the originating
switch WWN in switches running Fabric OS versions that do not support the
chassis WWN feature.
CHASSISNAME
Displays the name of the chassis.
SUPPORTED_DIST
Displays yes if the distribution is supported on the receiving chassis. Displays no if
the distribution is not supported.
NOTES This command distributes the IP Filter database only. To distribute other security databases, use the
distribute command.
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.
