Creating a Zone in a Zone Set
When a zone is created, it’s zone type is soft. To change the zone type to a hard
zone (ACL or VPF), refer to ”Changing Zone Types” on page 3-25 for more
information. Refer to ”Zones” on page 3-10 for information on zone types (soft and
hard). To create a zone in a zone set, do the following:
1. Open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning
window.
Note: Changes that you make to the zoning database behave as follows:
■ In SW2 merge mode, changes to configured zone sets 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.
■ In Brocade merge mode, when a zone set is activated, the entire
zoning database, including any changes, is distributed from the
managed switch throughout the fabric.
