Command History
Usage Guidelines You can use the islb distribute command to enable the distribution of iSLB configuration information
to other Cisco MDS switches in the fabric using the Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) infrastructure. You can
synchronize the iSLB configuration across the fabric from the console of a single MDS switch.
Note The only initiator configuration that is distributed throughout the fabric using CFS is a statically mapped,
iSLB initiator configuration. Dynamically mapped and statically mapped iSCSI initiator configurations
are not distributed. iSCSI initiator idle-timeout and global authentication parameters are also distributed.
If you are using both iSLB and inter-VSAN routing (IVR), ensure that the following conditions are
satisfied; otherwise, traffic may be disrupted in the fabric.
• You must enable both features on at least one switch in the fabric.
• You must configure and activate zoning from the switch for normal zones, IVR zones, and and iSLB
zones.
Examples The following example enables iSLB configuration distribution.
switch# config t
switch(config)# islb distribute
The following example disables iSLB configuration distribution.
switch(config)# no islb distribute
