Deactivate Zone Sets

To deactivate zone sets:

deactivated.

2. Choose Configure > Deactivate Zone Set (Advanced Zoning submenu).

The Deactivate Zone Set dialog box displays. Use this dialog box to
deactivate the current active zone set.

3. Click Start to begin the process and messages display to indicate deactivation

status. When the Close button displays, you can close the dialog box.

Configure the Default Zone

To configure the default zone:

1. Select the fabric in the Fabric Tree area for which the default zone is to be

configured.

2. Choose the Configure > Configure Default Zone (Advanced Zoning

submenu). The Configure Default Zone dialog box displays. Use this dialog
box to enable and disable the default zone.

3. The Configure Default Zone dialog box displays the current state of the

default zone (enabled or disabled). Depending on the current state, press Start
to enable or disable the zone. Messages display to indicate process status.
When the Close button displays, you can close the dialog box.

A default zone consists of all devices that have not been configured as members of
a zone in a currently-active zone set. When no zone set is active, then all devices
are considered to be in the default zone. If a zone set is active, then all connected
devices that are not included in at least one of the zones in the active zone set are
included in the default zone.

Enabling the default zone allows any device in the default zone to see any other
device in the default zone. If the default zone is disabled and no zone set is active,
then devices connected to the product cannot communicate.

Note:

Default Zoning is not supported in Open Fabric Mode.
