Table 13-24. Zoning Configuration Parameters
Parameter Description
MergeAutoSave Enables (True) or disables (False) the saving of changes to active
zone set in the switch’s non-volatile zoning database.The default
is True.
Disabling the MergeAutoSave parameter can be useful for pre-
venting the propagation of zoning information when experiment-
ing with different zoning schemes. However, leaving the
MergeAutoSave parameter disabled can disrupt device configura-
tions should a switch have to be reset. For this reason, the Mer-
geAutoSave parameter should be enabled in a production
environment.
DefaultZone Enables (Allow) or disables (Deny) communication among
ports/devices that are not defined in the active zone set or when
there is no active zone set. The DefaultZone value must be the
same on all switches in the fabric. The default is Allow.
DiscardInactive Enables (True) or disables (False) the discarding of all inactive
zone sets from that zoning database. Inactive zone sets are all
zone sets except the active zone set. The default is False.
