Command History

Usage Guidelines

Before using this command, enable CFS distribution over IPv6 using the cfs ipv6 distribute command.

All CFS over IP enabled switches with similar multicast addresses form one CFS over IP fabric. CFS

protocol specific distributions, such as the keep-alive mechanism for detecting network topology

changes, use the IP multicast address to send and receive information.

CFS distributions for application data use directed unicast.

You can configure a CFS over IP multicast address value for IPv6. The default IPv6 multicast address is

ff15::efff:4653. Examples of the IPv6 Admin scope range are ff15::0000:0000 to ff15::ffff:ffff and

ff18::0000:0000 to ff18::ffff:ffff.

The following example shows how to configure an IP multicast address for CFS over IPv6.
