fddCfg
Manages the fabric data distribution configuration parameters.
Synopsis fddcfg [--showall | --localaccept policy_list | --localreject policy_list | --fabwideset policy_set ]
Description Use this command to manage the fabric data distribution configuration parameters. These parameters
control the fabric-wide consistency policy in non-secure mode.
Supported policies are Switch Connection Control (SCC), Device Connection Control (DCC) and
Password (PWD), which includes the account database and password policies.
Operands This command has the following operands:
--showall Displays the accept/reject configuration of all databases and the Fabric-Wide
Consistency Policy Set on the switch.
--localaccept policy_list
Configures the switch to accept distributions of the specified policies. The policies
in policy_list must be separated by semicolons and enclosed in quotation marks;
for example, “SCC;DCC”. Supported policies are Switch Connection Control
(SCC), Device Connection Control (DCC) and Password (includes account
database and password policies) (PWD).
--localreject policy_list
Configures the switch to reject distributions of the specified policies in policy_list.
However, a database cannot be rejected if it is specified in the Fabric-Wide
Consistency Policy. The policies in policy_list must be separated by semicolons
and enclosed in quotation marks; for example, “SCC;DCC”. Supported policies
are Switch Connection Control (SCC), Device Connection Control (DCC) and
Password (includes account database and password policies) (PWD).
--fabwideset policy_set
Sets the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy. A database which is set to reject
distributions cannot be specified in the fabric-wide consistency policy. The
policy_set must have valid policies separated by semicolons. To specify a policy
as strict, use the strictness indicator “:S” after the policy name. To set the Fabric-
Wide Consistency Policy to NULL (default), meaning none, specify policy_set as
““. Supported policies are SCC and DCC.
Examples To display the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy and the accept/reject configuration for all databases:
To configure the switch to accept distribution of the SCC policy set and PWD database:
switch:admin> fddcfg --showall
