Command Line Interface

ZONING

Initiates an editing session in which to change switch zoning attributes. The system displays each parameter one line at a time and prompts you for a value. For each parameter, enter a new value or press Enter to accept the current value shown in brackets.

Table 54: Set config zoning parameters

Parameter

Description

InteropAutoSave

Available only when the InteropMode parameter is True, this

 

parameter enables (True) or disables (False) the saving of

 

changes to active zone set in the switch’s permanent memory.

 

See Set config threshold parameters” on page 140. The

 

default is True. (not supported)

 

Disabling the Autosave parameter can be useful to prevent

 

the propagation of zoning information when experimenting

 

with different zoning schemes. However, leaving the Autosave

 

parameter disabled can disrupt device configurations should

 

a switch have to be reset. For this reason, the Autosave

 

parameter should be enabled in a production environment.

 

 

Default Visibility

Enables (All) or disables (None) communication among the

 

switch’s ports/devices and the fabric in the absence of an

 

active zone set. The default is All.

 

 

Examples

The following is an example of the SET CONFIG PORT command: 2/8q FC Switch #> admin start

2/8q FC Switch (admin) #> config edit

2/8q FC Switch (admin-config) #> set config port 1

A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.

Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.

If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the list

press 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.
