Distribute the Fabric Configuration (Toolbox CLI)

Once a fabric configuration file has been created, it can be distributed to all switches in the fabric configuration, eliminating the need to create a fabric configuration file on each switch.

1. In the Toolbox CLI, distribute the fabric configuration.

   [toolbox-cli] set config copy ip=peer_IP_address|name=peer_hostname|all

   where:

   • peer_IP_address is the IP address of the switch to receive the fabric configuration.

   • peer_hostname is the host name of the switch to receive the fabric configuration.

   For example, to distribute the fabric configuration on the current switch to all other switches in the fabric configuration, type:

   [toolbox-cli] set config copy all
   Are you sure you want to copy fabric config to other switch(es)? (WARNING: will overwrite existing config on other end!) (y/n): y
   Copying fabric config [/etc/toolbox/conf/fabric.conf] to 10.134.178.158 .. [OK]
   Copying fabric config [/etc/toolbox/conf/fabric.conf] to 10.134.178.159 .. [OK]
   Copying fabric config [/etc/toolbox/conf/fabric.conf] to 10.134.178.157 .. [OK]
   [toolbox-cli]

2. Restart the toolbox daemon on the switches that received the fabric configuration.

   See Enable or Disable the Toolbox CLI Daemon.
