Description Use this command to specify Admin Domain-level operations.
This command follows a batched-transaction model. When using the --activate, --add, --clear, --create,
--deactivate, --delete, --remove, and --rename operands, the changes occur in the transaction buffer.
The transaction buffer contains only the required changes for the Defined configuration. For --save, the
changes in the transaction buffer are sent to all other switches and saved to the Defined configuration (in
persistent storage). For --apply, it performs a save operation, sends a request to apply the Admin Domain
configuration (as defined in the persistent storage), and then enforces locally.
The Admin Domain transaction buffer is linked to the current login shell and is lost on logout. The --
transshow operand can be used to display the current Admin Domain transaction information.
Before creating Admin Domains, the default zone mode should be set to "No Access" mode. Refer to
defZone for more information.
To set the default zone mode to "No Access":
switch:admin> ad --select AD0
switch:admin> defzone --noaccess
switch:admin> cfgsave
All switches, switch ports and devices from the fabric that are not specified in any other Admin Domain
