secPolicyActivate

Saves and activates the Defined Security Policy Set.

Synopsis secpolicyactivate

Description Use this command to activate the current defined security policy to all switches in the fabric. This will

activate the policy set on local switch or all switches in the fabric depending on the fabric-wide

consistentcy policy - see fddCfg command.

When in secure mode this command activates the security policy set on all switches in the fabric and can

be issued only from the primary FCS switch.

In non-secure mode, if there are changes to the SCC or DCC policies in the current CLI or API

transaction that have not been saved to the Defined Security Policy Set, then this command will save the

changes to the Defined Security Policy Set first and then activate it. If there are no changes but the

Defined Security Policy Set differs from the Active Security Policy Set then the Defined Security Policy

Set is activated. If there are no changes and the Defined Security Policy Set is the same as the Active

Security Policy Set then nothing is done.

After activation the defined policy set becomes the active policy set.

Use secPolicyShow to display the members of an existing policy in the Active or Defined Security Policy

Sets.
