Configuring the Zoning Database

Use the Zoning Config dialog to change the Interop Auto Save, Default Visibility, and Discard Inactive parameters. In the faceplate display, open the Zoning menu and select Edit Zoning Config to open the Zoning Config dialog shown in Figure 3-16. After making changes, click the OK button to put the new values into effect.

Interop Auto Save

The Interop Auto Save parameter determines whether changes to the active zone set that a switch receives from other switches in the fabric will be saved to the zoning database on that switch. Changes are saved when an updated zone set is activated. Zoning changes are always saved to temporary memory. However, if Interop Auto Save is enabled, the switch firmware saves changes to the active zone set in temporary memory and to the zoning database. If Interop Auto Save is disabled, changes to the active zone set are stored only in temporary memory which is cleared when the switch is reset.

Note: Disabling the Interop Auto Save parameter can be useful to prevent the propagation of zoning information when experimenting with different zoning schemes. However, leaving the Interop Auto Save parameter disabled can disrupt device configurations should a switch have to be reset. For this reason, the Interop Auto Save parameter should be enabled in a production environment.
