Zone configuration and zoning database management

A zone configuration is a group of zones; zoning is enabled on a fabric by enabling a specific
configuration. You can specify members of a configuration using zone names.

Figure 38

displays a sample zoning database and the relationship between the zone aliases,

zones, and zoning configuration. The database contains one zoning configuration, myconfig, which
contains two zones: Zone A and Zone B. The database also contains four aliases, which are
members of Zone A and Zone B. Zone A and Zone B also have additional members other than the
aliases.
