Zone Set Duplication
Zone Set Duplication
You can make a copy and then edit it without altering the existing active zone set. You can copy an active
zone set from the bootflash: directory, volatile: directory, or slot0 to one of the following areas:
•
To the full zone set
• To a remote location (using FTP, SCP, SFTP, or TFTP)
The active zone set is not part of the full zone set. You cannot make changes to an existing zone set and
activate it if the full zone set is lost or is not propagated.
Caution Copying an active zone set to a full zone set may overwrite a zone with the same name if it already exists
in the full zone set database.
This section includes the following topics:
