fddCfg
Manages the fabric data distribution configuration parameters.
Synopsis fddcfg --showall
fddcfg --localaccept policy_list
fddcfg --localreject policy_list
fddcfg --fabwideset policy_list
Description Use this command to manage the fabric data distribution configuration parameters. These
parameters control the fabric-wide consistency policy.
Switches can be locally configured to allow or reject a security policy. Supported policies are Switch
Connection Control (SCC), Device Connection Control (DCC), Password (PWD), Fabric Configuration
Server (FCS), Fabric Element Authentication (AUTH), and IP Filter (IPFILTER) policies.
Automatic distribution of a fabric-wide consistency policy is limited to SCC, DCC, and FCS policies.
To enforce these policies fabric-wide in tolerant or strict mode, use the --fabwideset parameter.
The following rules apply:
• The SCC and DCC policies can be distributed to any switch and do not require all switches to
run Fabric OS v6.0 for automatic distribution.
• In tolerant mode, fabric-wide enforcement of FCS consistency policy is blocked in "mixed
fabrics" that include switches running firmware versions earlier than v6.0. If a v5.3/5.2 switch
joins a fabric that has fabric-wide FCS policy enforcement in tolerant mode, a corresponding
message is displayed.
• In strict mode, fabric-wide enforcement of FCS consistency policy is possible in mixed fabrics.
However, switches that do not support the policies ignore them.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter 1, “Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions” and Appendix A, “Command Availability”
for details.
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;FCS”.
--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”.
--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".
