Importing from one switch and exporting from another switch can lead to isolation again. Zone Set Duplication You can make a copy and then edit it without altering the existing active zone set. You can copy an active zone set from the bootflash: directory, volatile: directory, or slot0, to one of the following areas: • To the full zone set • To a remote location (using FTP, SCP, SFTP, or TFTP) The active zone set is not part of the full zone set. You cannot make changes to an existing zone set and activate it, if the full zone set is lost or is not propagated. Caution Copying an active zone set to a full zone set may overwrite a zone with the same name, if it already exists in the full zone set database.
