Zone Set Distribution
To enable full zone set and active zone set distribution to all switches on a per VSAN basis using Fabric
Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Expand a VSAN and choose a zone set in the Logical Domains pane.

Step 3
In the Propagation column, choose Full Zoneset from the drop-down list.
Step 4 Click Apply Changes to propagate the full zone set.
Enabling a One-Time Distribution
You can perform a one-time distribution of inactive, unmodified zone sets throughout the fabric.
To propagate a one-time distribution of the full zone set using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Choose Zone > Edit Local Full Zone Database.
You see the Edit Local Full Zone Database dialog box.
Step 2 Click the appropriate zone from the list in the left pane.
Step 3 Click Distribute to distribute the full zone set across the fabric.
This procedure only distributes the full zone set information, it does not save the information to the
startup configuration. To save the full zone set, you must explicitly save the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
Note The one-time distribution of the full zone set is supported in interop 2 and interop 3 modes, and not in
interop 1 mode.
