Configuring the zoning database
You can configure how the zoning database is applied to the switch and exchanged with the fabric
through the switch and zoning configuration parameters. The following zoning configuration parameters
are available through the Set Config Zoning command and are described in more detail in Table 25:
• InteropAutoSave–This parameter enables or disables the saving of changes to the active zone set
in the switch’s permanent memory.
• DefaultZone–This parameter enables or disables communication among ports/devices that are not
defined in the active zone set. DefaultZone is applicable only when the InteropMode parameter is
McDATA Fabric Mode. See Table 23 for more information about the InteropMode parameter.
To restore the zoning configuration to its factory values, enter the Zoneset Deactivate command to
deactivate the active zone set, then enter the Reset Zoning command. You can also enter the
Reset Config or Reset Factory commands; however, these commands restore other aspects of the
switch configuration also.
To modify the zoning configuration, you must open an Admin session with the Admin Start command.
An Admin session prevents other accounts from making changes at the same time through Telnet, McDATA
Web Server, or another management application. You must also open a Config Edit session with the
Config Edit command and indicate which configuration you want to modify. If you do not specify a
configuration name, the active configuration is assumed.
The Config Edit session provides access to the Set Config Zoning command as shown in the
following example:
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.
McDATA4GbSAN (admin-config)#> config save
McDATA4GbSAN (admin)#> config activate
McDATA4GbSAN (admin)#> admin end
