HP AA-RW20A-TE manual Default is True, Should be enabled in a production environment

zoning

Initiates an edit 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 48 describes the zoning configuration parameters.

Table 48 Set Config zoning parameters

Parameter	Description
InteropAutoSave	Available only when the InteropMode parameter is Standard, this parameter
	enables (True) or disables (False) the saving of changes to active zone set in
	the switch’s permanent memory. Refer to ”InteropMode” on page 159. The
	default is True.
	Disabling the Autosave parameter can be useful to prevent saving 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.
DefaultVisibility	Available only when InteropMode is Standard, this parameter enables (All)
	or disables (None) communication among the switch ports/devices and the
	fabric in the absence of an active zone set. Refer to ”InteropMode” on
	page 159.The default is True. This parameter takes precedence over the
	DefaultZone parameter when InteropMode is Standard and there is no
	active zone set.
DefaultZone	Enables (True) or disables (False) communication among ports/devices that
	are not defined in the active zone set or when there is no active zone set.
	This parameter must have the same value throughout the fabric. If
	InteropMode is McDATA Fabric Mode, the DefaultZone parameter is
	automatically distributed throughout the fabric. If McDATA 4Gb SAN
	Switches are in a fabric with other M-Series directors and edge switches,
	and the InteropMode is Standard/Open Fabric, the DefaultZone parameter
	MUST be disabled (False) on the McDATA 4Gb SAN Switches for zoning to
	function properly.
DiscardInactive	Enables (True) or disables (False) the discarding of the active zone set when
	a new zone set is activated from another switch. The default is True.
