3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric

Q

3.4.2.2

Default Visibility

Default visibility determines the level of communication that is permitted among ports/devices when there is no active zone set. The default visibility parameter can be set differently on each switch. When default visibility is enabled (ALL) on a switch, all ports/devices on the switch can communicate with all ports/devices on switches that also have default visibility enabled. When Default Visibility is disabled (NONE), none of the ports/devices on that switch can communicate with any other port/device in the fabric.

3.4.3

Restoring Default Zoning

Restoring the default zoning clears the switch of all zoning definitions.

CAUTION! This command will deactivate the active zone set.

To restore the default zoning for a switch:

1.In the faceplate display, open the Zoning menu and select Restore Default Zoning.

2.Choose the OK button to confirm that you want to restore default zoning and save changes to the zoning database.

3.4.4

Merging Fabrics and Zoning

If you join two fabrics with an inter-switch link, the active zone sets from the two fabrics attempt to merge. The fabrics may consist of a single switch or many switches already connected together. The switches in the two fabrics attempt to create a new active zone set containing the union of each fabric's active zone set. The propagation of zoning information only affects the active zone set, not the configured zone sets.
