Step 1 switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 switch(config)# fctimer distribute
Enables fctimer configuration distribution to all switches in the fabric. Acquires a fabric lock and stores all future
configuration changes in the pending database.
Step 3 switch(config)# no fctimer distribute
Disables (default) fctimer configuration distribution to all switches in the fabric.
Committing fctimer Changes
When you commit the fctimer configuration changes, the effective database is overwritten by the configuration
changes in the pending database and all the switches in the fabric receive the same configuration. When you
commit the fctimer configuration changes without implementing the session feature, the fctimer configurations
are distributed to all the switches in the physical fabric.
To commit the fctimer configuration changes, follow these steps:
Step 1 switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 switch(config)# fctimer commit
Distributes the fctimer configuration changes to all switches in the fabric and releases the lock. Overwrites the effective
database with the changes made to the pending database.
Discarding fctimer Changes
After making the configuration changes, you can choose to discard the changes by discarding the changes
instead of committing them. In either case, the lock is released.
To discard the fctimer configuration changes, follow these steps:
Step 1 switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 switch(config)# fctimer abort
