Managing aliases
An alias is a collection of objects that can be zoned together. An alias is not a zone, and can
not have a zone or another alias as a member. Managing aliases includes:
■ Creating an alias
■ Adding a member to an alias
■ Removing an alias from all zones
Note: Changes that you make to the zoning database are limited to the managed switch and do
not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to configured zone sets fabric wide,
you must edit the zoning databases on the individual switches. You do not see aliases in the active
zone set.
