A message displays stating that the outstanding port configuration is discarded when copying

Activating an Allow/Prohibit Matrix configuration
You must have an active zone configuration before you can activate an Allow/Prohibit Matrix
configuration.
1. Select Configure > Allow/Prohibit Matrix.
The Configure Allow/Prohibit Matrix dialog box displays.
2. Select the Allow/Prohibit Matrix configuration you want to activate.
You can do this by expanding the view for the switch under Available Switches and selecting a
configuration, or you may select the matrix under Allow/Prohibit Matrix.
3. Click Activate.
A confirmation message displays, as shown in
FIGURE 319
Activate Matrix Confirmation message
4. Select the Active=Saved check box to save the active configuration as the startup
configuration (IPL).
5. Click OK to confirm.
If you select the Active=Saved check box, the text [=Active] is appended to the IPL file in the
Configure Allow/Prohibit Matrix dialog box.
The Active=Saved check box and the IPL filename represent the current state of the
Active=Saved Mode (ASM) bit on the switch. However, this is limited to changes done to the
ASM configuration through the Management application. If changes occur through external
means (such as, Webtools or the CLI) the changes are not reflected in the Management
application until the Configure Allow/Prohibit Matrix dialog box is re-launched.
NOTE
Active=Saved” means the matrix configuration will survive a power failure. If not selected, all
ports can access each other after power is restored.
