Usage Guidelines The iSNS server distributes cloud and membership information across all of the switches using CFS.

Note If auto discovery is disabled, interface changes result in new members becoming part of an undiscovered
cloud. No new clouds are formed.
Note This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch.
