Description

Use this command to manage Admin Domain operations.

This command follows a batched-transaction model. When executed with the --activate, --add,
--

clear, --create, --deactivate, --delete, --remove, or--rename options, this command

changes only the Defined Configuration in the transaction buffer. The --save option sends the
changes made in the transaction buffer to all other switches and permanently saves the changes
to the Defined configuration in persistent storage. The --apply option performs a save operation,
sends a request to apply the Admin Domain configuration (as defined in the persistent storage),
and then enforces the configuration locally.

The Admin Domain transaction buffer is linked to the current login shell and is lost on logout. Use
the --transshow option to display the current Admin Domain transaction information.

Before creating Admin Domains, the default zone mode should be set to “No Access”. To set the
default zone mode to “No Access” execute the following command sequence:

switch:admin>

ad --select AD0

switch:admin>

defzone --noaccess

switch:admin>

cfgsave
