Deleting a TI zone

Example of setting the state of a TI zone

To change the state of the existing TI zone bluezone to activated, type:

switch:admin> zone --activate bluezone

To change the state of the existing TI zone greenzone to deactivated, type:

switch:admin> zone --deactivate greenzone

Remember that your changes are not enforced until you enter the cfgEnable command.

Deleting a TI zone

Use the zone --delete command to delete a TI zone from the defined configuration. This command

deletes the entire zone; to only remove port members from a TI zone, use the zone

--remove

command, as described in “Modifying TI zones” on page 288.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.

2. Enter the zone

--delete command.

zone --delete name

You can delete multiple zones by separating the zone names with a semicolon and enclosing

them in quotation marks.

3. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce

the TI zones.

Example of deleting a TI zone

To delete the TI zone bluezone, type:

switch:admin> zone --delete bluezone

Remember that your changes are not enforced until you enter the cfgEnable command.

Displaying TI zones

Use the zone --show command to display information about TI zones. This command displays the

following information for each zone:

• Zone name

• E_Port members

• N_Port members

• Configured status (the latest status, which may or may not have been activated by cfgEnable)

• Enabled status (the status that has been activated by cfgEnable)

If you enter the cfgShow command to display information about all zones, the TI zones appear in

the defined zone configuration only and do not appear in the effective zone configuration.
