Select a zone set.

Open the Edit menu and select
Create a Zone
.
4.
In the Create a Zone dialog, enter a name for the new zone, and click the
OK
button. The new zone name is displayed in the Zone Sets dialog. A zone
name must begin with a letter and be no longer than 64 characters. Valid
characters are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, _, ^, $, and -.
5.
To add switch ports or attached devices to the zone, choose one of the
following:

the port to add to the zone. Open the Edit menu and select

NOTE:
Changes that you make to the zoning database are limited to the managed
switch and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to
configured zone sets fabric wide, you must edit the zoning databases on the
individual switches.
NOTE:
If you enter the name of a zone that already exists in the database, the
QuickTools web applet will ask if you would like to add that zone and its
membership to the zone set.
