Managing zoning with Web Tools
8
SETTING THE DEFAULT ZONING MODE
The default zoning mode defines the device accessibility behavior if zoning is not implemented or if
there is no effective zone configuration. The default zoning mode has two options:
All Access—All devices within the fabric can communicate with all other devices.
No Access—Devices in the fabric cannot access any other device in the fabric.
Web Tools supports default zoning on switches running firmware v5.1.0 or higher. Default zoning
on legacy switches (switches running firmware versions prior to v 5.1.0) are not supported. Legacy
switches can use default zoning; however, they cannot manipulate the default zone or default
configuration.
NOTE
If you want to use Admin Domains, you must set the default zoning mode to No Access prior to
setting up the Admin Domains. You cannot change the default zoning mode to All Access if
user-specified Admin Domains are present in the fabric.
To set the default zone mode
1. Open the Zone Administration window (see Opening the Zone Administration window” on
page 96).
2. Click Zoning Actions> Set Default Mode, and then select the access mode.
Managing zoning with Web Tools
You can monitor and manage zoning through the Web Tools Zone Administration. Click Zone Admin
to access the Zone Administration window, shown in Figure 46. Zone Administration appears only if
an Advanced Zoning license is installed on the switch.
The information in the Zone Administration window is collected from the selected switch.
If secure mode is enabled, zoning can be administered only from the primary FCS switch. If the
selected switch has an Advanced Zoning license installed but is not the primary FCS switch, the
Zone Admin option is displayed but not activated. For specific information on secure fabrics, see
the Secure Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
You must be logged into the switch using a user name with one of the following roles associated
with it to make changes to the zoning: zoneAdmin, admin, or fabricAdmin. All other roles allow only
a view or read-only access. Most of the zoning operations are disabled in read-only mode.
