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.

This command requires a Brocade Advanced Zoning license.

When security is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.

Operands This command has the following operands:

"cfgName" Specify a name for the zone configuration, in quotation marks. This operand

is required.

"member" Specify a zone member or list of zone members to be added to the

configuration, in quotation marks and separated by semicolons. This operand

is required. Members can be specified in one or more of the following ways:

• Zone names

• QuickLoop names

• FA (Fabric Assist) zone names

Examples To create a configuration containing three zones:

switch:admin> cfgcreate "USA_cfg", "Red_zone; Blue_zone; Green_zone"
