Telnet Commands

cfgEnable

Enables a zone configuration.

Synopsis cfgEnable "cfgName"

Availability admin

Description Use this command to commit any zone configuration in the transaction buffer to the volatile and

non-volatile memory and enable the specified zone configuration. This command ends the current

zoning transaction.

The specified zone configuration is built by checking for undefined zone names, zone alias names,

or other inconsistencies; by expanding zone aliases, removing duplicate entries, and then installing

the effective configuration.

If the build fails, the previous state is preserved (zoning remains disabled, or the previous Effective

configuration remains in effect). If the build succeeds, the new configuration replaces the previous

configuration.

Execute the cfgShow command for a description of defined and effective configurations.

If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this command is run, the transaction

on the other switch is automatically aborted. A message is displayed on the other switch notifying

the transaction abort.

Note: This command requires a Zoning License.
