defZone

Sets or displays the default zone access mode.

Synopsis

defzone [--noaccess | --allaccess | --show]

Description

Use this command to display or set the Default Zone access mode. Setting the Default Zone mode
initializes a zoning transaction (if one is not already in progress), and create reserved zoning
objects.

A default zone controls device access when zoning is not enabled. When a user-specified zoning
configuration is not enabled, Default Zone is in effect, allowing access to all devices. When a
user-specified zone configuration is enabled, it overrides the Default Zone access mode.

Notes

This command must be run from the primary FCS switch.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability"
for details.

Zone object names beginning with the d_efault_ prefix are reserved for default zoning use. Editing
of these objects is not permitted. Therefore, cfgShow does not display the names of these objects.

If d_efault_Cfg is the effective zone configuration, both cfgShow and cfgActvShow do not display
d_efault_Cfg as the effective zone configuration.

Operands

This command has the following operands:

--

noaccess

Sets the default zone access mode to No Access, initializes a zoning
transaction (if one is not already in progress), and creates the reserved
zoning objects equivalent to the following zoning commands:

cfgCreate “d_efault_Cfg”, “d_efault_Zone”

zoneCreate “d_efault_Zone”, “00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01”

A cfgSave, cfgEnable, or cfgDisable command must be issued after issuing
this command to commit the changes and distribute them to the fabric; for
example

:

primaryfcs:admin>

defzone

--

noaccess

primaryfcs:admin>

cfgsave

An audit log record is generated for each execution of this command.

When No Access default zone is activated, the following conditions apply:

If the current effective zone configuration is disabled with the cfgDisable
command, the local switch converts this command to the equivalent of
cfgEnable d_efault_Cfg.

If zoning receives a cfgDisable command from a remote switch that does
not support default zoning, zoning rejects the cfgDisable command in the
second phase of RCS because the remote switch does not convert the
cfgDisable command to cfgEnable d_efault_Cfg.
