Enabling a zone configuration
The following procedure ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to nonvolatile memory.
If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this procedure is run, the transaction on
the other switch is automatically aborted. A message displays on the other switches to indicate that the
transaction was aborted.
Use the following procedure to enable a zone configuration.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgenable command, using the following syntax:
cfgenable "cfgname"
3. Enter y at the prompt.
switch:admin> cfgenable "USA_cfg"
You are about to enable a new zoning configuration.
This action will replace the old zoning configuration with the current
configuration selected. If the update includes changes to one or more traffic
isolation zones, the update may result in localized disruption to traffic on ports
associated with the traffic isolation zone changes.

Disabling a zone configuration
When you disable the current zone configuration, the fabric returns to non-zoning mode. All devices can
then access each other or not, depending on the default zone access mode setting.
NOTE
If the default zoning mode is set to All Access and more than 120 devices are connected to the fabric,
you cannot disable the zone configuration because this would enable All Access mode and cause a
large number of requests to the switch. In this situation, set the default zoning mode to No Access prior
to disabling the zone configuration. Refer to
Default zoning mode on page 319 for information about
setting this mode to No Access.
The following procedure ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to nonvolatile memory.
If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this procedure is run, the transaction on
the other switch is automatically aborted. A message displays on the other switches to indicate that the
transaction was aborted.
Use the following procedure to disable a zone configuration.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgDisable command.
3. Enter y at the prompt.
switch:admin> cfgdisable
You are about to disable zoning configuration. This action will disable any
previous zoning configuration enabled.
