McDATA® 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem command line interface guide 157
Set Config Zoning command
Description Configures the zoning database. The changes you make with this command are not retained when
you reset or power cycle the switch unless you save them using the Config Save command.
Authority Admin session and a Config Edit session
Syntax
set config zoning
This command initiates an editing session in which to change the zoning database configuration.
The system displays each parameter one line at a time and prompts you for a value. For each
parameter, enter a new value or press Enter to accept the current value shown in brackets.
Table 25 Set Config Zoning parameters
Parameter Description
InteropAutoSave Available only when the InteropMode parameter is Standard. This
parameter enables (True) or disables (False) the saving of changes to active
zone set in the switch’s permanent memory. See ”InteropMode” on
page 154. The default is True.
Disabling the Autosave parameter can be useful to avoid saving zoning
information when experimenting with different zoning schemes. However,
leaving the Autosave parameter disabled can disrupt device configurations
should a switch have to be reset. For this reason, the Autosave parameter
should be enabled only in a production environment.
DefaultZone Enables (True) or disables (False) communication among ports/devices that
are not defined in the active zone set or when there is no active zone set.
This parameter applies only when InteropMode is set to McDATA Fabric
Mode. The DefaultZone parameter is automatically distributed throughout
the fabric. The default is False.
Examples The following is an example of the Set Config Zoning command:
McDATA4GbSAN #> admin start
McDATA4GbSAN (admin) #> config edit
McDATA4GbSAN (admin-config) #> set config zoning
A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.
Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.
If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the list
press 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.
InteropAutoSave (True / False) [True ]
DefaultZone (True / False) [False]
Finished configuring attributes.
This configuration must be saved (see config save command) and
activated (see config activate command) before it can take effect.
To discard this configuration use the config cancel command.
