zoneset distribute vsan Command
(EXEC Mode)
Distributes the full zone set immediately.
Does not distribute the full zone set information
along with the active zone set during activation,
deactivation, or merge process.
Enabling Full Zone Set Distribution
All switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family distribute active zone sets when new E port links come up
or when a new zone set is activated in a VSAN. The zone set distribution takes effect while sending
merge requests to the adjacent switch or while activating a zone set.
To enable full zone set and active zone set distribution to all switches on a per VSAN basis, follow these
steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# zoneset distribute full vsan 33
One-Time Distribution
You can perform a one-time distribution of inactive, unmodified zone sets throughout the fabric.
Use the zoneset distribute vsan vsan-id command in EXEC mode to perform this distribution.
switch# zoneset distribute vsan 2
Zoneset distribution initiated. check zone status
This command only distributes the full zone set information—it does not save the information to the
startup configuration. You must explicitly issue the copy running start command to save the full zone
set information to the startup configuration.
The zoneset distribute vsan vsan-id command is supported in interop 2 and interop 3 modes—not in
Note
interop 1 mode.
