chassisDistribute

-fid FID Specifies the logical switch from which the distribution should originate. 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 logical switch

and are configured to accept the distribution. This operand is required and

valid only when the switch is in Virtual Fabric mode.

-domain domain_list

Specifies a list of 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
