You can configure how the zoning database is applied to the switch and 
exchanged with the fabric through the zoning configuration parameters. The 
following zoning configuration parameters are available through the 

 command. Refer to 

 for more information about the 

zoning configuration parameters.

„

MergeAutoSave–This parameter enables or disables the automatic saving 
of a new active zone set to the switch non-volatile zoning database.

„

DefaultZone–This parameter allows or denies communication among 
ports/devices that are not defined in the active zone set.

„

DiscardInactive–This parameter enables or disables the discarding of all 
zone sets except the active zone set.

If MergeAutoSave is False on a switch, and a new zone set is activated elsewhere 
in the fabric or a fabric merge occurs, you can choose how to dispose of the 
merged zone set:

„

Enter the 

 command to display merged zone set.

„

Enter the 

 Merged command to edit the merged zone set.

„

 Capture command to save the merged zone set to 

the non-volatile zoning database.

„

Enter the 

 command to discard the merged zone set.

If you are editing the configured zone set that corresponds to the active zone set, 
and a zone set merge occurs, you have the same options plus you can enter the 

 command to display the edited zoning database.

To restore the zoning configuration to its factory values, enter the 

Config or 

Reset Factory commands. Notice however, these commands restore other 
aspects of the switch configuration also.
