sz disable

Disables SmartZone management of the device.
Syntax
sz disable
no sz disable
Command Default

SmartZone IP addresses are not configured on the switch, which means the switch will attempt to initiate a connection with SmartZone using the SmartZone IP addresses provided via DHCP Option 43.

Modes

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the no form of the sz disable command to reenable SmartZone management of the device after it has been disabled.

Beginning with SmartZone release 5.0, SmartZone can be used to monitor and manage ICX switches. An ICX switch identifies SmartZone and initiates a connection based on the SmartZone IP addresses configured on the switch or discovered through DHCP Option 43. When SmartZone management is disabled using the sz disable command, the ICX switch will not initiate a connection with SmartZone, even if SmartZone IP addresses are available.

Both "active" and "passive" SmartZone IP addresses can be configured on the ICX switch. Active IP addresses are given the highest priority; passive IP addresses are lowest priority and are provided for redundancy. The ICX switch will attempt to connect to SmartZone by sending a query to SmartZone IP addresses in the following order:

  • SmartZone IP addresses configured on the ICX switch using the sz active command
  • SmartZone IP addresses received through DHCP Option 43
  • Backup SmartZone IP addresses configured on the ICX switch using the sz passive command

The switch connects to SmartZone using a reverse SSH tunnel.

Examples

The following example shows SmartZone management disabled on the ICX device.
