Principal Switch Configuration
Cisco switches and QLogic switches negotiate for principal switch automatically. Therefore, there
are no steps to take.
Zone Configuration
This section discusses configuring active Zone Set names and Zone types.
Active Zone Set Names
The Zone and Zone Set names on each switch must be unique. If not, change one of the duplicate
names. All Zone Set and Zone names must conform to the Fibre Channel (FC) Standards for Zone
Naming (ANSI T11/00-427v3):
1. Must be 1–64 characters in length.
2. All characters are ASCII.
3. First character is [a–z] or [A–Z].
4. All other characters must be [a–z], [A–Z], [0–9], or the _ character. Other characters ($-^) may
not be supported by all vendors and should be avoided.
