config Commands
The config branch of the CLI command tree contains commands that set
parameter values. These values are not temporary (session) values, but are
retained across power cycles. The commands in the config branch can by used
only by the administrator.
Note that the config.zoning commands function in a different way from the
other CLI commands, which are single action commands that take effect
immediately. A zoning configuration is typically too complicated to be described
by a single command, so the first zoning command entered invokes a work-area
editor. The commands take effect on a temporary copy of a zone set in the work
area until the temporary copy in the work area is activated to the fabric or is
discarded.
Because not all the verification of the zone set can occur on the temporary copy in
the work area, it is possible, however unlikely, that the copy of the zone set
encounters no errors until the zone set is activated to the fabric.
In general, the config naming commands (except for the config.zoning
commands) use the USASCII character set. All of the characters in this
128-character set (the first 7-bit subset of the ISO-8859-1 Latin-1 character set)
are valid. Any exceptions are noted in the specific command descriptions.
