|
Defaults
None.

This command was introduced in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.0(2).
Usage Guidelines
None.
Examples
The following example copies the active zoneset to the full zoneset.
switch# zone copy active-zoneset full-zoneset vsan 1

To define whether a default zone (nodes not assigned a created zone) permits or denies access to all in the default zone, use the zone default-zone command in configuration mode. Use the no form of the command to negate the command or revert to the factory defaults.

export
|
Exports the zone server database to the adjacent switch on the specified interface. The active zone set in this switch becomes the activated zone set of the merged SAN.

EXEC mode.
Command History
This command was introduced in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.0(2).
Usage Guidelines
This command can be used to recover from link isolation due to zone merge failure.
Examples
The following example merges zone server databases.
switch# zone merge interface port-channel 3 export vsan 3
zone name
To create a zone, use the zone name command in configuration mode. Use the no form of the command to negate the command or revert to the factory defaults.
zone name zone-name vsan vsan-id [ attribute read-only |member fcalias name | fcid fcid-value

Command Modes
Configuration mode.
Command History
This command was modified in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(1).
Usage Guidelines
Zones are assigned to zone sets, zone sets are then activated from one switch and propagate across the fabric to all switches. Zones allow security by permitting and denying access between nodes (hosts and storage). zone name commands are issued from the configuration mode. Configure a zone for a VSAN from the config-zone submode.
Use the show wwn switch command to retrieve the sWWN. If you do not provide a sWWN, the software automatically uses the local sWWN.
Examples
The following example configures a member for the specified zone (Zone1) based on the type (pWWN, fabric pWWN, FC ID, or FC alias) and value specified.
switch(config)# zone name Sample vsan 1
switch(config-zone)# member <type> <value>
pWWN example:
sswitch(config-zone)# member pwwn 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab
switch(config-zone)# member fwwn 10:01:10:01:10:ab:cd:ef
switch(config-zone)# member fcid 0xce00d1
switch(config-zone)# member fcalias Payroll
zoneset
To group zones under one zoneset, use the zoneset command in configuration mode. Use the no form of the command to negate the command or revert to the factory defaults.

Syntax Description

|
name

|
zoneset-name
|
