Configuring the Zoning Database
You can configure how the zoning database is applied to the switch and
exchanged with the fabric through the zoning configuration parameters. The
following zoning configuration parameters are available through the
Set Config Zoning command. Refer to Table 13-24 for more information about the
zoning configuration parameters.
„
MergeAutoSave–This parameter enables or disables the automatic saving
of a new active zone set to the switch non-volatile zoning database.
„
DefaultZone–This parameter allows or denies communication among
ports/devices that are not defined in the active zone set.
„
DiscardInactive–This parameter enables or disables the discarding of all
zone sets except the active zone set.
If MergeAutoSave is False on a switch, and a new zone set is activated elsewhere
in the fabric or a fabric merge occurs, you can choose how to dispose of the
merged zone set:
„
Enter the Zoning Merged command to display merged zone set.
„
Enter the Zoning Edit Merged command to edit the merged zone set.
„
Enter the Zoning Merged Capture command to save the merged zone set to
the non-volatile zoning database.
„
Enter the Zoning Restore command to discard the merged zone set.
If you are editing the configured zone set that corresponds to the active zone set,
and a zone set merge occurs, you have the same options plus you can enter the
Zoning Edited command to display the edited zoning database.
To restore the zoning configuration to its factory values, enter the Reset Config or
Reset Factory commands. Notice however, these commands restore other
aspects of the switch configuration also.
