Each VSAN has a full database and an active database.
•
Active zone sets cannot be changed, without activating a full zone database.
•
Active zone sets are preserved across switch reboots.
•
Changes to the full database must be explicitly saved.
•
Zone reactivation (a zone set is active and you activate another zone set) does not disrupt existing
•
traffic.
If required, you can additionally configure the following zone features:
Propagate full zone sets to all switches on a per VSAN basis.
•
Change the default policy for unzoned members.
•
Interoperate with other vendors by configuring a VSAN in the interop mode. You can also configure
•
one VSAN in the interop mode and another VSAN in the basic mode in the same switch without
disrupting each other
Bring E ports out of isolation.
