Using the Edit Zoning Dialog
To edit the zoning database for a particular switch, open the Zoning menu from
the faceplate display and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog
shown in Figure 3-6. Changes can only be made to inactive zone sets, which are
stored in flash (non-volatile) memory and retained after resetting a switch.
Figure 3-6. Edit Zoning Dialog
Note: If you deactivate the active zone set in one fabric and the Auto Save
parameter is enabled, the active zone set from the second fabric will
propagate to the first fabric and replace all zones with matching names
in the configured zone sets.
If the zone sets to merge have the same Zone A that only differ in the
type of zone (soft vs. ACL), the zone sets will merge. If this is a 2
switch fabric, Switch 1 will state that Zone A is soft and Switch 2 will
state that Zone A is ACL.
