Troubleshooting Zone Set Activation
When you activate a zone set, a copy of the zone set from the full zone set is used to enforce zoning, and
is called the
active zone set
. A zone that is part of an active zone set is called an
active zone
. Two main
problems can occur with activating a zone set:
•
No zone set is active.
