NOTE

When you assign a node WWN to an alias or zone, all of the WWPN’s associated to that Node are
also moved. This functionality is supported only for IM0 mode. This behavior is duplicated in Brocade
Network Assistant zoning. This functionality is supported only by selecting the node WWN and
assigning it to the alias or zone.
