secVersionReset

Resets the security version stamp to 0.

Synopsis secversionreset

Description Use this command to reset the security 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:

Determine which secure fabric will become the FCS_POLICY controller fabric, the dominant fabric

to which all other secure fabrics will be merged.

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.

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.

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.

This command can be issued only in secure mode and only from the primary FCS switch, a non-

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

Operands none
