Activates or deactivates a default zone configuration.
Synopsis defzone [--noaccess | --allaccess | --show]
Description Use this command to set the Default Zone access mode to No Access, initialize a zoning transaction (if
one is not already in progress), and create reserved zoning objects.
N
ote
This command requires a Brocade Advanced Zoning license.
When security is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.
Names with the d_efault_ prefix are reserved for default zoning use. No editing of these objects is
permitted.
cfgShow does not display the names of the default zone objects.
If d_efault_Cfg is the effective zone configuration, both cfgShow and cfgActvShow do not display
d_efault_Cfg as the effective zone configuration.
Operands This command has the following operands:
--noaccess Sets the default zone access mode to No Access, initializes a zoning transaction
(if one is not already in progress), and creates the reserved zoning objects
equivalent to the following commands:
• cfgCreate “d_efault_Cfg”, “d_efault_Zone”
• zoneCreate “d_efault_Zone”, “00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01”
A cfgSave, cfgEnable, or cfgDisable command must be performed subsequent to
the use of this command to commit the changes and distribute them to the fabric;
for example:
An audit log record is generated for each use of this command option.
With No Access default zone activated, the following applies:
• When you issue a cfgDisable of the current effective zone configuration, the
local switch converts it into a cfgEnable d_efault_Cfg command.
• When zoning receives a cfgDisable command from a remote switch that does
not support default zoning, zoning rejects the cfgDisable command in the
second phase of RCS because the remote switch does not convert the
cfgDisable command to a cfgEnable d_efault_Cfg command.
