The following command creates a fence device instance for a Cisco MDS device:
ccs -f cluster.conf --addfencedev mds agent=fence_cisco_mds ipaddr=192.168.0.1 name=ciscomdstest1 login=root \
 passwd=password123 power_wait=60 snmp_priv_passwd=password123 udpport=161
The following is the cluster.conf entry for the fence_cisco_mds device:

 <fencedevices>
   <fencedevice agent="fence_cisco_mds" community="private" ipaddr="192.168.0.1" login="root" \
     name="ciscomdstest1" passwd="password123" power_wait="60" snmp_priv_passwd="password123" \
     udpport="161"/>
 </fencedevices>
