zoning
Initiates an edit session in which to change switch zoning attributes. 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 48 describes the zoning
configuration parameters.
Table 48 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 161. The
default is True.
Disabling the Autosave parameter can be useful to prevent 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 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.
