config.zoning
Note that the config.zoning commands function in a different way
from most CLI commands, which are single action commands that
take effect immediately. A zoning configuration is typically too
complicated to be described by a single command, so the first zoning
command entered invokes a work-area editor. The commands take
effect on a temporary copy of a zone set in the work area until the
temporary copy in the work area is activated to the fabric--or is
discarded.
Because not all the verification of the zone set can occur on the
temporary copy in the work area, it is possible, however unlikely, that
the copy of the zone set encounters no errors until the zone set is
activated to the fabric.
