set config zoning Description Configures the zoning database. The changes you make with this command are not retained when you reset or power-cycle the switch unless you save them using the config save command. Authority Admin session and a Config Edit session Syntax set config zoning Initiates an editing session in which to change the zoning database configuration. The system displays each parameter one line at a time and prompts you for a value. For each parameter, enter a new value or press Enter to accept the current value shown in brackets. Table 38 describes the zoning configuration parameters. Table 38 Zoning configuration parameters Parameter MergeAutoSave DefaultZone DiscardInactive Description Enables (True) or disables (False) the saving of changes to active zoneset in the switch's non-volatile zoning database.The default is True. Disabling the MergeAutoSave parameter can be useful for preventing the propagation of zoning information when experimenting with different zoning schemes. However, leaving the MergeAutoSave parameter disabled can disrupt device configurations should a switch have to be reset. For this reason, the MergeAutoSave parameter should be enabled in a production environment. Enables (Allow) or disables (Deny) communication among ports/devices that are not defined in the active zoneset. The default is Allow. Enables (True) or disables (False) the discarding of all inactive zonesets from that zoning database. Inactive zonesets are all zonesets except the active zoneset. The default is False. Examples The following is an example of the set config zoning command. 8/20q FC Switch #> admin start 8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> config edit The config named default is being edited. 8/20q 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 DefaultZone DiscardInactive (True / False) [True ] (Allow / Deny) [Allow ] (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.

set config zoning
Description
Configures the zoning database. The changes you make with this command are not retained when
you reset or power-cycle the switch unless you save them using the
config save
command.
Authority
Admin session and a Config Edit session
Syntax
set config zoning
Initiates an editing session in which to change the zoning database configuration. The system
displays each parameter one line at a time and prompts you for a value. For each parameter, enter

Table 38
Zoning configuration parameters
Parameter
Description
MergeAutoSave
Enables (
True
) or disables (
False
) the saving of changes to active
zoneset in the switch’s non-volatile zoning database.The default is
True
.
Disabling the
MergeAutoSave
parameter can be useful for preventing the
propagation of zoning information when experimenting with different
zoning schemes. However, leaving the
MergeAutoSave
parameter
disabled can disrupt device configurations should a switch have to be reset.
For this reason, the
MergeAutoSave
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 zoneset. The default is
Allow
.
DiscardInactive
Enables (
True
) or disables (
False
) the discarding of all inactive zonesets
from that zoning database. Inactive zonesets are all zonesets except the
active zoneset. The default is
False
.
Examples
The following is an example of the
set config zoning
command.
8/20q FC Switch #> admin start
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> config edit
The config named default is being edited.
8/20q 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.
