Enabling Role-Based Configuration Distribution
To enable role-based configuration distribution, follow these steps:

Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# role distribute
Enables role-based configuration distribution.
Step 3

Clearing Sessions
To forcibly clear the existing role session in the fabric, issue the clear role session command from any switch
that is part of the initiated session.
Caution

Database Merge Guidelines
Fabric merge does not modify the role database on a switch. If two fabrics merge, and the fabrics have different
role databases, the software generates an alert message.
