204 Command Reference
Zoning configuration parameters
Description
Enables (True) or disables (False) the saving of changes to active
zoneset in the switch's non-volatile zoning database.The default is True.
Disabling the MergeAutoSave parameter can be useful for preventing the
propagation of zoning information when experimenting with different
zoning schemes. However, leaving the MergeAutoSave parameter
disabled can disrupt device configurations should a switch have to be reset.
For this reason, the MergeAutoSave parameter should be enabled in a
production environment.
Enables (Allow) or disables (Deny) communication among ports/devices
that are not defined in the active zoneset. The default is Allow.
Enables (True) or disables (False) the discarding of all inactive zonesets
from that zoning database. Inactive zonesets are all zonesets except the
active zoneset. The default is False.
(True / False)
