Task 21: Configure zoning (optional)
Perform this procedure to configure, change, add, or delete zones;
and to configure, change, enable, or disable zone sets.
• Zone - A zone is a group of devices that can access each other
through port-to-port connections. Devices in the same zone can
recognize and communicate with each other; devices in different
zones cannot.
• Zone set - A zone set is a group of zones that is activated or
deactivated as a single entity across all managed products in
either a single switch or a multiswitch fabric. Only one zone set
can be active at one time.
The following naming conventions apply to zones and zone sets:
• All names must be unique and may not differ by case only. For
example,
zone-1 and Zone-1 are both valid individually, but are
not considered unique.
• The first character of a zone set name must be a letter
( A through Z or a through z ).
• A zone set name cannot contain spaces.
• Valid characters are alphanumerics and the caret (
^
),
hyphen ( - ), underscore ( _ ), or dollar ( $ ) symbols.
• A zone set name can have a maximum of 64 characters.
