• The name must contain 1 to 64 characters.
• The name must begin with a letter. Any character other than the first character can be a
letter, a number (0 to 9), or an underscore (_).
• The name is case sensitive. For example, “ZoneSet1” and “zoneset1” are different zone sets.
• You cannot create a zone set with the same name as an existing zone, zone alias or zone
set. For example, if you create a zone set named “new”, you cannot give a zone, zone alias,
or zone set the same name.
• The following characters are invalid for Brocade switches: caret (^), dash (-), and dollar sign
($).
