When you disable a zone configuration from Advanced Web Tools, keep in mind that the entire zoning database is saved, and then the selected zone configuration is disabled. To disable a zone configuration 1. Launch the Zone Admin module as described on page 83. 2. Select Actions > Disable Zoning. The Disable Config warning is displayed. 3.

Displaying the enabled zone configuration The enabled zone configuration screen displays the actual content of the single zone configuration that is currently enabled on the fabric, and whether it matches the configuration that was enabled when the current zone admin session was launched or last refreshed (see Figure 29). The zones, QuickLoops, and FA zones are displayed, and their contents (ports, WWNs, AL_PAs) are displayed next to them. Aliases are not displayed in the enabled zone configuration. If there is no active zone configuration enabled on the switch, a message is displayed to that effect. The enabled configuration is listed in the top right corner of the Zone Admin module. 94 Administering zoning
