Policy database distribution

Database distribution settings
The distribution settings control whether a switch accepts or rejects distributions of databases
from other switches and whether or not the switch may initiate a distribution. Configure the
distribution setting to reject when maintaining the database on a per-switch basis.
Table 33 lists the databases supported in Fabric OS v6.1.0 and later switches.
*You cannot distribute the either the PWD or IP Filter policy databases within a logical fabric as they are blocked.
Displaying the database distribution settings
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the fddcfg
--showall command.
Example shows the database distribution settings
