Description
Automatically removes the previously active zone set when
a zone set is activated on a switch
Introduces hardware enforcement of zoning regardless of
type. All zones and all supported zone member types will
have hardware enforcement.
If enabled, the security configuration is saved to non-volatile
memory on the switch. If disabled, the security file is
saved only to temporary memory. The Auto Save feature is
used when Fabric Binding is enabled. When Auto Save is
disabled, any updates from remote switches will not be
saved locally
If enabled, it is required that the expected domain ID of a
switch be verified before being allowed to attach to the fabric.

Resource allocation timeout value
Error detect timeout value
Total number of donor port groups. A donor group is a set
of ports on a switch that can donate buffer credits to each
other.
Number of minutes the switch waits before terminating an
idle command line interface session. Zero (0) disables the
time out threshold.
Non-configurable. Zoning merge status. When a zone set is
activated on an FC-SW-2 compliant switch, only the active
zone set is propagated to all switches in the fabric. When a
zone set is activated on a non-FC-SW-2 compliant switch,
the active zone set and all inactive zone sets (the entire zoning
database) are stored in permanent memory.
Non-configurable. Legacy port addressing status. Enabled
only for interoperability with non-FC-SW-2 compliant
switches
In-band management status. Permits (True) or prevents
(False) a switch from being managed over an inter-switch
link (ISL)
If there is a domain ID conflict in the fabric, the switch with
the highest principal priority, or the principal switch, will
reassign any domain ID conflicts and establish the fabric.
