Zoning Configuration
You can set the Auto Save and Default Visibility zoning configuration parameters
using SANbox Manager or the Set Config Zoning command. The Auto Save
parameter determines whether changes to the active zone set that a switch
receives from other switches in the fabric will be saved to permanent memory on
that switch. The Default Visibility parameter permits or prohibits communication
between switches when there is no active zone set. Refer to Using the Zoning
Config Window on page 3-12 for information about zoning configuration using
SANbox Manager. Refer also to the Set Config Command on page A-25 for
information about zoning configuration using the CLI.

Figure 3-3. After making changes, choose the OK button to put the new values
into effect.
