Zoning User’s Guide

Enabled

This is the zone configuration that is enabled (active). This configuration
resides on RAM and must be saved to ensure that it is not lost when a new
configuration is enabled or during power down. Any changes replicate to
all switches in the fabric when the configuration is enabled or saved.

Saved

This is the zone configuration that was last saved. This configuration
resides in Flash memory and is persistent.

In

Figure 2

, Config5 is defined (created). When this configuration is

defined, it resides only in RAM. To transfer it to Flash memory, to be
permanently stored and accessible across reboots, it must be saved. This
can be accomplished in one of two ways:

Save the configuration directly to Flash (the recommended method).

Enable the configuration first, then save it to Flash.

But, until the configuration has been saved to Flash, it is not permanently
stored and available across reboots.

Note

Only the enabled configuration (in the shaded area) is enforced.
