Utilities to each Switch chassis containing fabric ports and set up the zones for
each. Keep in mind that a particular zone (for example Zone 1) is fabric wide and
any ports on the same or other Switch chassis that are placed in Zone 1, are in the
same zone.

managing up to four Name Server Zones and up to 16 ports. Click a port
checkbox in a particular Zone row to define the port in that zone. The Switch will
automatically perform rules checking that will not allow you to violate the rule
