Managing fabrics
•
MaxTotalMembers is 10,000. The maximum number of total zone and alias members that can be
configured on the switch. This will be enforced during the configuration of zoning and during a zoning
database merge from the fabric. Aliases are considered zone members since they can be added to a
zone just like a normal zone member.
•
MaxZonesInZoneSets is 2000. The maximum number of zone linkages to zonesets that can be
configured on the switch. This will be enforced during the configuration of zoning and during a zoning
database merge from the fabric. Every time a zone is added to a zoneset this constitutes a linkage.
•
MaxMembersPerZone is 2000. The maximum number of zone members that can be added to any
zone on the switch. This will be enforced during the configuration of zoning and during a zoning
database merge from the fabric. Aliases are considered zone members when added to a zone.
•
MaxMembersPerAlias is 2000. The maximum number of zone members that can be added to any
alias on the switch. This will be enforced during the configuration of zoning and during a zoning
database merge from the fabric.

To apply zoning to a fabric, choose a zone set and activate it. When you activate a zone set, the switch
distributes that zone set and its zones, excluding aliases, to every switch in the fabric. This zone set is
known as the active zone set.
