Copying An Allow/Prohibit Matrix Configuration - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade 8/12c User Manual

Saving or Copying Allow/Prohibit Matrix configurations to another
device
When copying or saving a configuration from a small switch (source switch with fewer ports; for
example, 64 ports) to a larger switch (destination switch with a larger number of ports; for example,
256 ports) only the port address range of the smaller switch will be affected on the larger switch.
All additional port addresses will display the default settings (port state defaults to 'Allow' and the
Blocked check box defaults to not checked).
Copying or saving a configuration from a larger switch to a smaller device only copies or saves the
port address range that matches the smaller switch. Additionally a message displays that the
additional port addresses from the larger switch are discarded.
When copying or saving a configuration from or to Logical Switches, the only ports affected are the
port addresses defined in the Logical Switch. The FICONd CUP Daemon retains the full compliment
of records regardless of the size of the Logical Switch. Therefore, copying or saving a configuration
from or to logical switches should work the same as copying or saving between standard switches.
