defZone
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.
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
:
switch:admin> defzone --noaccess
switch:admin> cfgsave
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.
--allaccess Sets the default zone access mode to All Access, initiates a zoning
transaction (if one is not already in progress), and deletes the reserved
zoning objects by doing the equivalent to the following zoning commands:
cfgDelete “d_efault_Cfg”
zoneDelete “d_efault_Zone”
