Manages the fabric data distribution configuration parameters.
Synopsis fddcfg [--showall | --localaccept policy_list | --localreject policy_list | --fabwideset policy_list ]
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 policy sets and the Fabric-wide
Consistency Policy 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_list
Sets the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy. A database that is set to reject
distributions cannot be specified in the Fabric-wide Consistency Policy. To set
the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy as strict, use the strictness indicator "S".
To set the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy as tolerant, omit the "S". A valid
policy set should be of the form "SCC:S;DCC". To set the fabric-wide policy to
NULL (default) or no fabric-wide consistency, use the policy Set "". Supported
policies are Switch Connection Control (SCC) and Device Connection Control
(DCC).
Examples To display the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy and the accept/reject configuration for all databases:
switch:admin> fddcfg --showall
