Activating and Deactivating a Zone Set
You must activate a zone set to apply its zoning definitions to the fabric. When you
activate a zone set, the switch distributes that zone set to the temporary zoning
database on every switch in the fabric. Only one zone set can be active at one
time.
The purpose of the deactivate function is to suspend all fabric zoning, which
results in free communication fabric-wide (when Default Zone is set to Allow) or no
communication (when Default Zone is set to Deny). It is not necessary to
deactivate the active zone set before activating a new one.
To activate a zone set:
1. Select a switch or stack in the fabric tree.
2. On the Zoning menu, click Activate Zoneset to view the Activate Zoneset
dialog box.
3. If you selected a stack and the zoning database is not identical on all
switches in the stack, choose a switch from the Select Source Switch list.
Changes that you make to this switch are distributed to the other switches in
the stack.
4. If the current active zone set contains TR mappings, click Yes to
acknowledge the warning about re-mapping devices if they are not included
in zone sets that will be activated later.
5. Select a zone set from the Select Zoneset drop-down list, and click
Activate.
To deactivate the active zone set:
1. Select a switch or stack in the fabric tree.
2. On the Zoning menu, click Deactivate Zoneset.
3. If the current active zone set contains TR mappings, click Yes to
acknowledge the warning about re-mapping devices if they are not included
in zone sets that will be activated later.
4. Click Yes to acknowledge the warning about traffic disruption and confirm
that you want to deactivate the active zone set.
Renaming a Zone Set
To rename a zone set:
1. Select a switch or stack in the fabric tree.
2. On the Zoning menu, click Edit Zoning to view the Edit Zoning window.
