NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
-db policy_list
Specifies the list of policy sets, also called security databases, to be distributed.
Currently, only the IPFILTER policy database can be distributed with this
command. The policy list must be enclosed in double quotation marks; members
must be separated by semicolons. The following operands are mutually exclusive:
-fid FID
Specifies the logical switch from which the distribution should originate. The
logical switch is identified by its fabric ID (FID). When a FID is specified, the
database is distributed to all chassis that are connected to the logical switch and
are configured to accept the distribution. This operand is required and valid only
when the switch is in Virtual Fabric mode.
-domain domain_list
Specifies a list of switch domain IDs that should receive the database. The list
must be enclosed in double quotation marks; members must be separated by a
semicolon. A wildcard (*) may be specified to include all switches in the fabric that
support the distribute feature. This operand is required and valid only when Virtual
Fabrics are disabled.
-force
Distributes the database without confirmation.
EXAMPLES To distribute the IP Filter policies to all chassis that are connected through the logical fabric 128 and
support the distribute feature:
switch:admin> chassisDistribute -db "IPFILTER" -fid 128
