Importing and Exporting Zone Sets
To import or export the zone set information from or to an adjacent switch, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# zoneset import interface fc
slot/port vsan vsan-id
switch# zoneset import interface fc
slot/port vsan vsan-id
Step 2
switch# zoneset export vsan vsan-id
switch# zoneset export vsan vsan-id
Perform the import and export operations from a single switch. Importing from one switch and exporting
Note
from another switch can lead to isolation again.
Zone Set Duplication
You can make a copy and then edit it without altering the existing active zone set. You can copy an active
zone set from the bootflash: directory, volatile: directory, or slot0 to one of the following areas:
•
•
The active zone set is not part of the full zone set. You cannot make changes to an existing zone set and
activate it if the full zone set is lost or is not propagated.
