Chapter 29 Configuring Inter-VSAN Routing
IVR Zones and IVR Zone Sets
Note If IVR and iSLB are enabled in the same fabric, at least one switch in the fabric must have both features
enabled. Any zoning related configuration or activation operation (for normal zones, IVR zones, or iSLB
zones) must be performed on this switch. Otherwise, traffic might be disrupted in the fabric.
You can also use the force activate option to activate IVR zone sets. Table 29-4 lists the various
scenarios with and without the force activate option.
Caution Using the force activate option of IVR zone set activation may cause traffic disruption, even for devices
that are not involved in IVR. For example, if your configuration does not have any active zone sets and
the default zone policy is permit, then an IVR zone set activation will fail. However, IVR zone set
activation will go through if the force activateoption is used. Because zones are created in the edge
VSANs corresponding to each IVR zone, traffic may be disrupted in edge VSANs where the default zone
policy is permit.
To activate or deactivate an existing IVR zone set using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Click Zone and then select Edit Local Full Zone Database as shown in Figure 29-20.
Figure 29-20 Zone Menu
You see the Edit Local Full Zone Database dialog box in Figure 29-21.
