Resets the version stamp to 0.

Synopsis

secversionreset

Availability

admin

Description

Use this command to reset the version stamp of all switches in a fabric to 0, so that it can be joined to

another secure fabric.

When merging two or more secure fabrics:

1. Determine which secure fabric will become the FCS_POLICY controller fabric: the dominant fabric to

which all other secure fabrics will be merged.

2. Use the secPolicyAdd, secPolicyRemove, and secPolicyActivate commands to modify the

FCS_POLICY of the merging fabrics to match the FCS_POLICY of the controller fabric. All secure fabrics

to be merged must have identical FCS_POLICY lists. The FCS policies of merged fabrics must match

exactly; they must contain the same FCS members and in the same order, or the merge will fail.

3. Reset the version stamp using the secVersionReset command on each secure fabric to be merged

into the controller fabric. The controller fabric does not require a version reset.

4. Cascade the fabrics together. When the secure fabrics merge, the primary FCS switch in the controller

fabric propagates its security policies across the newly formed fabric.

NOTE: This command must be issued from a sectelnet or SSH session and can be issued only from the

primary FCS switch, a non-FCS when there is no FCS switch in the fabric, or from a disabled switch.
