Managing Fabric Zoning

Resolving Zoning

The Resolving Zoning options enable you to manage the active, configured, and 
merged zone sets in the zoning database. To access the Resolving Zoning options, 
open the faceplate display, open the Zoning menu, and select Resolve Zoning

The Capture Active Zoning option copies the active zone set to the configured zone 
set. 

The Restore Configured Zoning option reverts back to the previously saved 
configured zone set.

The Capture Merged Zoning option saves the merged zone set into the configured 
zone set.

The View Merged/Configured Differences option opens a dialog to display the 
Merged and Configured zone sets in split panes. The items in the Merged but not 
the Configured are shown in red (not persistent after switch reset). The items in the 
Configured but not the Merged show up as green (are persistent after switch reset). 
The bottom pane is an English description of the differences in summary. 

Configuring the Zoning Database

Use the Zoning Config dialog to change the Merge Auto Save, Default Zone, and 
Discard Inactive configuration parameters. In the faceplate display, open the Zoning 
menu and select Edit Zoning Config to open the Zoning Config dialog (

). 

After making changes, click the OK button to put the new values into effect.
