cfgCreate
Creates a zone configuration.
Synopsis cfgcreate "cfgName", "member; member"
Description Use this command to create a new zone configuration.
A zone configuration name must begin with a letter that can be followed by any number of letters,
numbers, and underscores. Names are case sensitive: for example, “Cfg_1” and “cfg_1” are different
zone configurations. Blank spaces are ignored.
The zone configuration member list must have at least one member. Empty member lists are not allowed.
This command changes the defined configuration. For the change to be preserved across switch reboots,
it must be saved to nonvolatile memory using the cfgSave command. For the change to become effective,
an appropriate zone configuration must be enabled using the cfgEnable command.
Refer to the zoneCreate command for more information on name and member specifications.
