Set Config Command

 

 

 

 

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 the Enter key to accept the current value shown in brackets.

Parameter

 

Description

 

 

 

FC-SW-2

 

Available only when the FC-SW-2 Compliant parameter is

AutoSave

 

True, this parameter enables (True) or disables (False) the

 

 

saving of changes to active zone set in the switch’s permanent

 

 

memory. Refer to ”FC-SW-2 Compliant” on page B-37. The

 

 

default is True.

 

 

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.
