chassisDistribute

OPERANDS

This command has the following operands:

-db ipfilter

Specifies the policy database to be distributed with this command. The only
accepted value for -db is ipfilter. The database name is case insensitive. The
legacy notation ("IPFILTER") still works but is not neccessary. The following
operands are mutually exclusive:

-fid target_FID

Specifies the target logical switch for the distribution. The logical switch is
identified by its fabric ID (FID). When a FID is specified, the database is
distributed to all chassis that are connected to the specified logical switch (FID)
and are configured to accept the distribution. This operand is required and valid
only when the originating switch is in Virtual Fabric mode.

-domain target_domain_list

Specifies a list of target switch domain IDs that should receive the database. The
list must be enclosed in double quotation marks; members must be separated by
a semicolon. A wildcard (*) may be specified to include all switches in the fabric
that support the distribute feature. This operand is required and valid only when
Virtual Fabrics are disabled.

-force

Distributes the database without confirmation.

EXAMPLES

To distribute the IP Filter policies to all chassis that are connected through the logical fabric 128 and
support the distribute feature:

switch:admin> chassisDistribute -db ipfilter -fid 128
FID DOMAIN CHASSISWWN CHASSISNAME SUPPORTED_DIST
---------------------------------------------------------
128 3 10:00:00:05:1e:38:ac:0e DCX_93 yes
NON-VF 4 10:00:00:05:1e:39:bd:0f Brocade300 yes
128 98 10:00:00:05:1e:41:22:9f Brocade6510 no

chassisDistribute will distribute the database(s) to \
above topology.
Would you like to continue [Y/N] : y
ChassisDistribute operation succeeded for above topology

To distribute the IP Filter policies to all switches in the fabric that support the distribute feature (Virtual
Fabrics are disabled on the evoking switch):

switch:admin> chassisDistribute -db ipfilter -domain "*"
FID DOMAIN CHASSISWWN CHASSISNAME SUPPORTED_DIST
--------------------------------------------------------
128 3 10:00:00:05:1e:38:ac:0e DCX_93 no
