To disable failover on the existing TI zone bluezone:
switch:admin> zone --add -o n bluezone
To enable failover and add ports to TI zone greenzone:
switch:admin> zone --add -o f greenzone -p "3,4"
To remove ports from the TI zone bluezone:

Remember that your changes are not enforced until you enter the cfgEnable command.
Changing the state of a TI zone
You can change the state of a TI zone to activated or deactivated. Changing the state does not
activate or deactivate the zone. After you change the state of the TI zone, you must enable the
current effective configuration to enforce the change.
The TI zone must exist before you can change its state.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Perform one of the following actions:
• To activate a TI zone, enter the zone
--
activate command.
zone --activate name
• To deactivate a TI zone, enter the zone -- deactivate command.
zone --deactivate name
3. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce
the TI zones.
