Setting the default zoning mode
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the cfgActvShow command to view the current zone configuration.
3. Enter the defZone command with one of the following options:
defzone --noaccess
defzone --allaccess
This command initiates a transaction (if one is not already in progress).
4. Enter either the cfgSave, cfgEnable, or cfgDisable command to commit the change and
distribute it to the fabric. The change will not be committed and distributed across the fabric if
you do not enter one of these commands.
Example
switch:admin> defzone --noaccess
You are about to set the Default Zone access mode to No Access
Do you want to set the Default Zone access mode to No Access ? (yes, y, no, n):
[no] y
switch:admin> cfgsave
You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This
action will only save the changes on Defined configuration.
Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not
take effect until it is re-enabled.
Do you want to save Defined zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Updating flash ...
Viewing the current default zone access mode
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the defZone
--show command.
NOTE
If you perform a firmware download of an older release, then the current default zone access state
will appear as it did prior to the download. For example, if the default zoning mode was No Access
before the download, it will remain as No Access afterward.
Zoning database size
The maximum size of a zone database is the upper limit for the defined configuration, and it is
determined by the amount of flash memory available for storing the defined configuration.
Use the cfgSize command to display the zoning database size.
The supported maximum zoning database size is 1 MB.
