cfgMcdtmode

Configures zoning features in McDATA Fabric mode.

Synopsis

cfgMcdtMode [--enable | --disable | --help] [safezoning | defaultzoning]

Description

Use this command to enable or disable either the McDATA safe zoning feature or the McDATA
default zoning feature. Enabling or disabling safezoning or default zoning on one switch in the
fabric enables or disables the specific feature fabric-wide, meaning that the feature is disabled or
enabled on all switches in the fabric.

Notes

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.

This command is effective only when the Brocade switch or director is in McDATA fabric mode.

Operands

This command has the following operands:

enable

Enables McDATA zoning features.

disable

Disables McDATA zoning feature.

safezoning

If safezoning is disabled, and if the zone database does not match, a zone
merge occurs when the E_Port comes online. The E_Port will segment only if
the zone merge fails. If safezoning is enabled, there is no zone merge as part
of the E_Port coming online, and the E_Port will segment only if the zone
database does not match.

defaultzoning

If defaultzoning is disabled, and if there is no zone database, devices in the
fabric will not be able to see each other. If there is a zone database, devices
NOT part of the Zone DB will not be able to see each other. If defaultzoning is
enabled, and if there is no zone database, all devices in the fabric will be able
to see each other. If there is a zone database, all devices NOT part of the
Zone DB will be able to see each other.
