Removing a Zone from All Zone Sets
Zones that are no longer members of any zone set are moved to the orphan zone
set. The orphan zone set is saved on the switch. To remove a zone from all zone
sets including the orphan zone set, do the following:
1. In the Edit Zoning dialog, select the zone to be removed.
2. Open the Edit menu and select Remove Zone from All Sets.
3. Click the OK button to save changes and close the Edit Zoning dialog.

Changing Zone Types
To change a zone type, do the following:
1. In the faceplate display, select the switch with the zone type to change.
2. Click the Zoning button to open the Edit Zoning dialog.
3. In the Zone Sets tree, select the zone to change.
4. Open the Edit menu and select Set Zone Type to open the Set Zone Type
dialog.
5. Open the Zone Type pull-down menu and select Soft or ACL.
Soft zoning is the least restrictive type of zoning.
ACL zoning is hard zoning and is enforced by hardware and defines
access to a given port. ACL zones need not include inter-switch links.

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.
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 will not see
aliases in the active zone set.
