Changing from Enhanced Zoning to Basic Zoning
Cisco SAN switches allow you to change from enhanced zoning to basic zoning to enable you to downgrade
and upgrade to other Cisco NX-OS releases.
Procedure

Verify that the active and full zone set do not contain any configuration that is specific to the enhanced zoning

configuration, the switch software automatically removes them.
Step 3
Set the operation mode to basic zoning mode.
