Chapter 29 Configuring Inter-VSAN Routing IVR Zones and IVR Zone Sets Send documentation comments to [email protected] Note If IVR and iSLB are enabled in the same fabric, at least one switch in the fabric must have both features enabled. Any zoning related configuration or activation operation (for normal zones, IVR zones, or iSLB zones) must be performed on this switch. Otherwise, traffic might be disrupted in the fabric. You can also use the force activate option to activate IVR zone sets. Table 29-4 lists the various scenarios with and without the force activate option. Table 29-4 IVR Scenarios with and without the Force Activate Option. Case Default Zone Active Zone Set before IVR Policy Zone Activation 1 Deny No active zone set 2 31 Deny Active zone set present 4 Permit No active zone set 5 or Active zone set present 1. We recommend that you use the Case 3 scenario. Force Activate Option Used? IVR Zone Set Activation Status No Failure Yes Success No/Yes Success No Failure Yes Success Active IVR Zone Created? No Yes Yes No Yes Possible Traffic Disruption No No No No Yes Caution Using the force activate option of IVR zone set activation may cause traffic disruption, even for devices that are not involved in IVR. For example, if your configuration does not have any active zone sets and the default zone policy is permit, then an IVR zone set activation will fail. However, IVR zone set activation will go through if the force activateoption is used. Because zones are created in the edge VSANs corresponding to each IVR zone, traffic may be disrupted in edge VSANs where the default zone policy is permit. To activate or deactivate an existing IVR zone set using Fabric Manager, follow these steps: Step 1 Click Zone and then select Edit Local Full Zone Database as shown in Figure 29-20. Figure 29-20 Zone Menu You see the Edit Local Full Zone Database dialog box in Figure 29-21. OL-16184-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide 29-27
