defZoneCreate
Creates a default zone configuration.
Synopsis defzonecreate
Description Use this command to create a new default zone configuration.
This command changes the defined configuration. It creates a new cfg named "d_efault_Cfg" that
contains the zone "d_efault_Zone" that in turn contains the zone member "00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00".
If there is no effective zone configuration, this command executes cfgEnable "d_efault_Cfg"; otherwise,
it executes cfgSave.
Also, this command creates the alias "d_efault_Zone_Alias" that has the member "1,0". This alias records
that default zoning is activated.
Once default zoning is activated, the user may do either of the following:
a. cfgDisable of the current effective zone configuration. In this case the local switch would convert the
cfgDisable command to cfgEnable "d_efault_Cfg".
b. cfgClear of the defined configuration. In this case the local switch would convert the cfgClear
command to
• cfgCreate “d_efault_Cfg”, “d_efault_Zone”
• zoneCreate “d_efault_Zone”, “00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01”
• aliCreate “d_efault_Zone_Alias”, “1,0”

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.
cfgShow shows the names of the default zone objects as “Default Zone”. This discourages users from
directly editing or deleting the default zone objects.
If “d_efault_Cfg” is the effective zone configuration, then both cfgShow and cfgActvShow will display
“d_efault_Cfg” as the effective zone configuration.
Operands None
Examples To create a default zone configuration:
switch:admin> cfgactvshow
Effective configuration:
no configuration in effect
switch:admin> defzonecreate
switch:admin> cfgactvshow
