Setting the default zoning mode
NOTE
You should not change the default zone mode from “No Access” to “All Access” if there is no effective
zone configuration and more than 120 devices are connected to the fabric.
Use the following procedure to set the default zoning mode.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgActvShow command to view the current zone configuration.
3. Enter the defZone command with one of the following options:
defzone --noaccess
or
defzone --allaccess
This command initiates a transaction (if one is not already in progress).
4. Enter the cfgSave, cfgEnable, or cfgDisable command to commit the change and distribute it to
the fabric. The change will not be committed and distributed across the fabric if you do not
enter one of these commands.
Example
switch:admin> defzone --noaccess
You are about to set the Default Zone access mode to No Access
Do you want to set the Default Zone access mode to No Access ? (yes, y, no, n):
[no] y
switch:admin> cfgsave
WARNING!!!
The changes you are attempting to save will render the Effective configuration
and the Defined configuration inconsistent. The inconsistency will result in
different Effective Zoning configurations for switches in the fabric if a zone
merge or HA failover happens. To avoid inconsistency it is recommended to
commit the configurations using the 'cfgenable' command.
Do you still want to proceed with saving the Defined
zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

Viewing the current default zone access mode
Use the following procedure to view the current default zone access mode.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the defZone
--show command.
NOTE
If you perform a firmware download of an older release, then the current default zone access state
will appear as it did prior to the download. For example, if the default zoning mode was No Access
before the download, it will remain as No Access afterward.
