You can dump the switchconfig with configupload to a ftp server.

Basically you do configupload for both your old and new switch.

Take ONLY the zoning info from the old switch config and paste that into the new
switches config.

configdownload the altered onfig in your new switch and zoning info has been
migrated.

You can both configupload though the GUI (webtools or BNA) or CLI.

If it's alright that new switch gets a different DID, you can also ISL the 2
switches (if license allows that) and when the fabric merges the zoning db is also
copied to the new switch.

There's now "best way", it al comes down to your requirements and what you feel
comfortable with.

The only way to do this in Brocade switches it through a series of commands:

configdefault -all

passwddefault

ipaddrset (Set to 10.77.77.77)

configure

licenseremove (No Need)

defzone --allaccess

cfgclear;cfgsave

switchname

chassisname

snmpconfig

delete-config-reset-pwd-s-reset-to/td-p/14121

The process I generally go through is as follows:

switchdisable

cfgdisable (hit "y" at prompt)

cfgclear (hit "y" at prompt)

cfgsave (hit "y" at prompt)

configdefault

switchenable

reboot

Then, for the ip addresses, you must reset them manually with the "ipaddrset"
command, as suggested above.

As to the user accounts, I would go into either CLI or the webgui and delete all
accounts except "factory" and/or "root".

Another option is to save configuration data with configUpload from both new and
old switch,
then replace zoning section in the new switch's configuration and send it back to
the switch with configDownload

If its rip and replace you can set the same did for the new switch as the old
switch.

You can dump the switchconfig with configupload to a ftp server.

Basically you do configupload for both your old and new switch.

Take ONLY the zoning info from the old switch config and paste that into the new
switches config.

configdownload the altered onfig in your new switch and zoning info has been
migrated.

You can both configupload though the GUI (webtools or BNA) or CLI.
If you are to migrate one at a time, you can for the quickest solution ISL the two
switches.

If all conditions are met the Fabric will form and the zoning db will be copied to
the new switch
