76 Zoning Configuration
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:
• To display the merged zone set, enter the zoning merged command.
• To edit the merged zone set, enter the zoning edit merged command.
• To save the merged zone set to the non-volatile zoning database, enter the
zoning merged capture command.
• To discard the merged zone set, enter the zoning restore command.
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 editing options. In addition, 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 as well.
To modify the zoning configuration, you must open an Admin session with the admin start command.
An Admin session prevents other accounts from making changes at the same time through Telnet,
QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric Management Suite, or another management application. You must also open
a Config Edit session with the config edit command and indicate which configuration you want to
modify. If you do not specify a configuration name, the active configuration is assumed.
The Config Edit session provides access to the set config zoning command, as shown in the
following example:
SN6000 FC Switch #> admin start
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) #> config edit
The config named default is being edited.
SN6000 FC Switch (admin-config) #> set config zoning
A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.
Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.
If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the list press
'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.
MergeAutoSave (True / False) [True ]
DefaultZone (Allow / Deny) [Allow ]
DiscardInactive (True / False) [False]
Finished configuring attributes.
This configuration must be saved (see config save command) and
activated (see config activate command) before it can take effect.
To discard this configuration use the config cancel command.
SN6000 FC Switch (admin-config)#> config save
SN6000 FC Switch (admin)#> config activate
SN6000 FC Switch (admin)#> admin end
