Configuring Zones
Step 3 Click Zones then click Insert icon to make a new zone. We recommend that you use meaningful names
for a zone. For example, you could use email05_HBA2_EMC_FA11a. (See
Figure 6-4.)

Tip Instead of configuring zones using pWWNs, you can use device aliases as zone members. Device
aliases are a distributed, fabric-wide database consisting of unique mappings of plain text names
for pWWN mappings. For details on configuring device aliases, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000
Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.
