Configuring Zones
65Embedded Web Server User Guide
Note: If merging zones will result in segmented E_Ports and the fabrics will not join,
you can join the fabrics by deactivating the active zone set on one of the fabrics (default
zone is enabled). This eliminates any conflicts because the fabrics will then join using
only the active zone set. After the fabrics join, you can make adjustments to zoning
configurations as you desire.
Configuring, Adding, or Deleting Zones
Perform this procedure to configure, change, add, or delete zones. A zone is a
group of devices that can access each other through port-to-port connections.
Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other;
devices in different zones cannot.
Caution: If, in your business practices, zoning tasks are performed using both
the Command Line Interface (CLI) and EWS, you risk potential conflicts in the
configuration and functionality could be lost.
To configure zones:
1. Choose Configure from the navigation panel.
2. At the Configure page, choose the Zoning tab and the Zones tab. The Zones
tab view displays as shown in Figure 20.
