Detailed Steps
</h2>
<a name="wp1080578"> </a><p class="pBody">
To change to the enhanced zoning mode from the basic mode, follow these steps:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1080579"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Verify that all switches in the fabric are capable of working in the enhanced mode.
</li>
<a name="wp1080580"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
If one or more switches are not capable of working in enhanced mode, then your request to move to 
enhanced mode is rejected.

</p>
<a name="wp1080581"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Set the operation mode to enhanced zoning mode. 
</li>
<a name="wp1189275"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
You will be able to automatically start a session, acquire a fabric wide lock, distribute the active and full 
zoning database using the enhanced zoning data structures, distribute zoning policies, and then release 
the lock. All switches in the fabric then move to the enhanced zoning mode.

</p>
<a name="wp1080582"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumRel">
<strong>Tip	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> After moving from basic zoning to enhanced zoning, we recommend that you save the running 
configuration.
