Importing and Exporting Zone Sets

To import or export the zone set information from or to an adjacent switch, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# zoneset import interface fc1/3
vsan 2
switch# zoneset import interface fc1/3
vsan 2-5
Step 2
switch# zoneset export vsan 5
switch# zoneset export vsan 5-8
Issue the import and export commands from a single switch. Importing from one switch and exporting
Note
from another switch can lead to isolation again.
Zone Set Duplication
You can make a copy and then edit it without altering the existing active zone set. You can copy an active
zone set from the bootflash: directory, volatile: directory, or slot0, to one of the following areas:
•
•
The active zone set is not part of the full zone set. You cannot make changes to an existing zone set and
activate it, if the full zone set is lost or is not propagated.
Copying an active zone set to a full zone set may overwrite a zone with the same name, if it already exists
Caution
in the full zone set database.

Copying Zone Sets

On the Cisco MDS Family switches, you cannot edit an active zone set. However, you can copy an active
zone set to create a new zone set that you can edit.
To make a copy of a zone set, perform this step:
Command
Step 1
switch# zone copy active-zoneset full-zoneset
vsan 2
Please enter yes to proceed.(y/n) [n]? y
switch# zone copy vsan 3 active-zoneset
