3. Enter the zone --validate command to list all zone members that are not part of the current
zone enforcement table. Note that zone configuration names are case-sensitive; blank spaces
are ignored.
switch:admin> zone --validate "White_zone"
4. Enter the following command to validate all zones in the zone database in the defined
configuration.
switch:admin> sw5:root> zone --validate -m 1
Defined configuration:
cfg: cfg1 zone1
cfg: cfg2 zone1; zone2
zone: zone1 1,1; ali1
zone: zone2 1,1; ali2
alias: ali1 10:00:00:05:1e:35:81:7f*; 10:00:00:05:1e:35:81:7d*
alias: ali2 10:00:00:05:1e:35:81:09*; 10:00:00:05:1e:35:81:88*
------------------------------------
~ - Invalid configuration
* - Member does not exist
The mode flag -m can be used to specify the zone database location. Supported mode flag
values are:
• 0 - zone database from the current transaction buffer
• 1 - zone database stored from the persistent storage
• 2 - currently effective zone database.
If no mode options are given, the validated output of all three buffers is shown.
If the -f option is specified, all the zone members that are not enforceable would be expunged
in the transaction buffer. This pruning operation always happens on the transaction and
defined buffers. You cannot specify a mode option or specify a zone object as an argument
with the -f option. This mode flag should be used after the zone has been validated.
Default zoning mode
The default zoning mode controls device access if zoning is not implemented or if there is no
effective zone configuration. The default zoning mode has two options:
• All Access—All devices within the fabric can communicate with all other devices.
• No Access—Devices in the fabric cannot access any other device in the fabric.
The default zone mode applies to the entire fabric, regardless of switch model.
The default setting is All Access.
