Creating Zone Sets
A zone set consists of one or more zones. A zone can be a member of more than one zone set and consists
of multiple zone members. Members in a zone can access each other; members in different zones cannot
access each other. Devices can belong to more than one zone.
A zone set can be activated or deactivated as a single entity across all switches in the fabric. Only one
zone set can be activated at any time. If zoning is not activated, all devices are members of the default
zone. If zoning is activated, any device that is not in an active zone (a zone that is part of an active zone
set) is a member of the default zone.
Zoning can be administered from any switch in the fabric. When you activate a zone (from any switch),
all switches in the fabric receive the active zone set. Additionally, full zone sets are distributed to all
switches in the fabric if this feature is enabled in the source switch.
Zone sets are configured with the names of the member zones. If the zone set is in a configured VSAN,
Tip
you must also specify the VSAN.
