Changing the state of a TI zone

Changing the state of a TI zone
You can change the state of a TI zone to activated or deactivated. Changing the state does not
activate or deactivate the zone. After you change the state of the TI zone, you must enable the
current effective configuration to enforce the change.
The TI zone must exist before you can change its state.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Perform one of the following actions:
• To activate a TI zone, enter the zone --activate command.
zone --activate name
• To deactivate a TI zone, enter the zone --deactivate command.
zone --deactivate name
3. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce
the TI zones.

Example of setting the state of a TI zone
To change the state of the existing TI zone bluezone to activated, type:
switch:admin> zone --activate bluezone
To change the state of the existing TI zone greenzone to deactivated, type:
switch:admin> zone --deactivate greenzone
Remember that your changes are not enforced until you enter the cfgEnable command.
Deleting a TI zone
Use the zone --delete command to delete a TI zone from the defined configuration. This command
deletes the entire zone; to only remove port members from a TI zone, use the zone
--remove
command, as described in “Modifying TI zones” on page 417.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the zone
--delete command.
zone --delete name
You can delete multiple zones by separating the zone names with a semicolon and enclosing
them in quotation marks.
3. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce
the TI zones.
