support the fabric-wide consistency policies.
Table 37 on page 143 describes the fabric-wide consistency settings.
Displaying the fabric-wide consistency policy
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the fddCfg --showall command.
The following example shows policies for a fabric where no consistency policy is defined.
