Zoning Concepts

Zone Management

Zoning may be managed one of three ways: either by logging into the switch via
telnet, via Web Tools, or via Fabric Manager. Any switch in the fabric can be used
to make changes to the zoning configuration. The changes will be replicated to all
the other switches in the fabric only if commands which "close a transaction" are
used.
Zoning commands are executed under the transaction model. A working copy of
the defined configuration is created at the start of a transaction. Each Zoning
command is executed from the working copy.
Note:
transactional buffer. The new changes are not applied to the fabric until the transaction
is closed. A transaction is aborted when another switch closes its transaction or by
issuing the command cfgTransAbort. When a transaction is closed, all new and existing
zoning information is applied to the fabric and saved to flash memory.
