Re-joining switches to a fabric
After a switch reboots and AG mode is disabled, the Default zone is set to no access. Therefore, the
switch does not immediately join the fabric to which it is connected. Use one of the following
methods to re-join a switch to the fabric:
• If you saved a Fabric OS configuration before enabling AG mode, download the configuration
using the configDownload command.
• If you want to re-join the switch to the fabric using the fabric configuration, use the following
procedure:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the switchDisable command to disable the switch.
3. Enter the defZone
--allAccess command to allow the switch to merge with the fabric.
4. Enter the cfgSave command to commit the defzone changes.
5. Enter the switchEnable command to enable the switch and allow it to merge with the fabric.
The switch automatically re-joins the fabric.
Reverting to a previous configuration
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the switchDisable command to disable the switch.
3. Enter the configDownload command to revert to the previous configuration.
4. Enter the switchEnable command to bring the switch back online.
The switch automatically joins the fabric.
