This operation can be done before or after a configuration is saved. This operation checks the current zoning settings for conflicts with settings in the Allow/Prohibit Matrix.

Saving or copying Allow/Prohibit Matrix configurations to another device

When copying or saving a configuration from a small switch (source switch with fewer ports; for example, 64 ports) to a larger switch (destination switch with a larger number of ports; for example, 256 ports) only the port address range of the smaller switch will be affected on the larger switch. All additional port addresses will display the default settings (port state defaults to “Allow” and the Blocked check box defaults to cleared).

Copying or saving a configuration from a larger switch to a smaller device only copies or saves the port address range that matches the smaller switch. Additionally a message displays that the additional port addresses from the larger switch are discarded.
