About CFS Distribution of Allowed Domain ID Lists
You can enable the distribution of the allowed domain ID lists configuration information to all Cisco
MDS switches in the fabric using the Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) infrastructure. This feature allows you
to synchronize the configuration across the fabric from the console of a single MDS switch. Since the
same configuration is distributed to the entire VSAN, you avoid possible misconfiguration and the
likelihood that two switches in the same VSAN have configured incompatible allowed domains.
Note All switches in the fabric must be running Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.0(1) or later to distribute the allowed
domain ID list using CFS.
Use CFS to distribute the allowed domain ID list to ensure consistency in the allowed domain ID lists
on all switches in the VSAN.
Note We recommend configuring the allow domain ID list and committing it on the principle switch.
For more information about CFS, see Chapter 13, “Using the CFS Infrastructure.”
Enabling Distribution
CFS distribution of allowed domain ID lists is disabled by default. You must enable distribution on all
switches to which you want to distribute the allowed domain ID lists.
To enable (or disable) allowed domain ID list configuration distribution using Fabric Manager, follow
these steps:
