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.
To configure zones and zone sets, refer to the McDATA EFCM Basic
Edition User Manual (620-000240) for instructions.
