Managing zone configuration comparison alerts

You can turn off the automatic zone configuration comparison function if you no longer want to see

two of the alert messages that the comparison can produce. When a zone configuration is

successfully activated, the comparison function can display an alert icon if either of two conditions

exist.

The messages in question are “The active zone configuration does not exist in the zone database”

and “The active zone configuration does not match <zone configuration> in the zone database.” To

turn off the icons and the messages, complete the following steps.

1. After successfully activating a zone configuration, click the Active Zone Config tab.

2. Select the check box labeled Turn off the comparison alerts between the active zone config

and the zone database.

Any existing alert icons and messages are cleared and further comparisons are prevented.

The check box selection defaults to the last setting per user.
