Zones
Zones are logical entities that represent groupings of zone members. Each zone must
be assigned a unique zone name when it is defined.
Zone Sets
Zone sets are logical entities that represent groupings of zones. They define a zoning
configuration. Each zone set is assigned a unique zone set name when it is defined.
The MSA Fabric Switch 6 allows storing of multiple zone sets. However, only one of
these zone sets can be active at a time. The other zone sets can be used as backup,
trials, or other user-defined configurations.
Naming Rules for Zone Members, Zones, and Zone Sets
Zone member, zone, and zone set names must follow these rules:
• Names must be between 1 and 64 characters long
• Characters used in names must be 7 bit ASCII characters
• The first character of a name must be a letter (a-z) and can be either upper case or
lower case
• Other characters of the name (any characters besides the first character) can be a
letter (a-z, either upper or lower case), a number (0-9), or a symbol ($ - ^ _).
• No spaces are allowed in the name
