FCS policies
7
Table 30 shows the commands for switch operations for Primary FCS enforcement.
In Fabric OS v7.1.0 and later, to avoid segmentation of ports due to a member-list order mismatch,
security policy members are sorted based on WWN. By default, DCC and SCC policy members are
sorted based on WWN. Switches running earlier Fabric OS versions will have the member list in the
unsorted manner. Any older-version switch with a policy already created in unsorted order will have
port segmentation due to order mismatch when attempting to join any switch with Fabric OS v7.1.0
or later. To overcome the order mismatch, you can modify the member list in the switch by using the
-legacy option. For more information about using the -legacy option in the secPolicyAdd and
secPolicyCreate commands, refer to Fabric OS Command Reference, Supporting Fabric OS, v7.1.0.
Ensuring fabric domains share policies
Whether your intention is to create new FCS policies or manage your current FCS policies, you must
follow certain steps to ensure the domains throughout your fabric have the same policy.
The local-switch WWN cannot be deleted from the FCS policy.
1. Create the FCS policy using the secPolicyCreate command.
2. Activate the policy using the secPolicyActivate command.
If the command is not entered, the changes are lost when the session is logged out.
3. To distribute the policies, enter the distribute -p policy_list -d switch_list command to either
send the policies to intended domains, or enter the distribute -p policy_list -d wild_card (*)
command to send the policies to all switches.
