Implementing Zoning
Zoning can be implemented and administered from any switch in the fabric.
Changes made to one switch are automatically distributed to all switches in
the fabric.
Zoning can be administered in one of two ways:
• Through the Telnet command interface - see Appendix A, “Zoning
Telnet Commands” .
• Through the Web Tools web interface - see the Web Tools User’s Guide.
Configuring Zoning
Zoning is implemented by the following steps:
1. (Optional) Create an alias.
2. Define the zone.
3. Define the zone configuration.
4. Enable the zone configuration.
Each zone object defined (alias, zone, and zone configuration) must have a
unique name; that is, an alias cannot have the same name as another alias,
and it cannot have the same name as a zone or a zone configuration.
Note During the following configuration process, changes should be saved
periodically to ensure that they are stored in flash memory and protected
against loss due to power outage, etc.
