To clear the zone server database, use the following command:
switch# clear zone database vsan 2
After entering a clear zone database command, you must explicitly enter the copy running-config
startup-config to ensure that the running configuration is used when the switch reboots.
Note
Clearing a zone set only erases the full zone database, not the active zone database.Note
Verifying the Zone Configuration
You can view any zone information by using the show command. If you request information for a specific
object (for example, a specific zone, zone set, VSAN, or alias, or keywords such as brief or active), only
information for the specified object is displayed.

Information About Smart Zoning
Smart Zoning supports zoning among more devices by reducing the number of zoning entries that needs to
be programmed by considering device type information without increasing the size of the zone set. Smart
zoning enables you to select the host, target, or both as the end device type.
Smart Zoning can be enabled at VSAN level but can also be disabled at zone level.Note
