Figure 24 Active and full zone sets
In basic zoning mode, the system checks the size of the data to be distributed when you activate a zone
set. If the size of the data exceeds the system limit, the activation fails, and an error message is displayed.
In enhanced zoning mode, the system does not limit the size of the data to be distributed.
Default zone
The N_Ports in zones of the active zone set are part of the active zone set. Registered N_Ports that are not
in the active zone set automatically become part of the default zone.
If members of the default zone are allowed to access each other, the following events occur:
• The default zone can be considered to be part of the active zone set.
• The default zone participates in access control among N_Ports.
Otherwise, the default zone is not in the active zone set and does not participate in access control among
the N_Ports.
In basic zoning mode, the switch does not distribute the default zone policy across the fabric. You must
manually configure a consistent default zone policy across the fabric. In enhanced zoning mode, the
switch distributes the default zone policy during the zone distribution process.
