2. To configure a zone, first add the zone name to the zoning library.

The following naming conventions apply to zones and zone sets:

• All names must be unique and may not differ by case only. For

example, zone-1 and Zone-1 are both valid individually, but

are not considered unique.

• The first character of a zone set name must be a letter

(A through Z or a through z).

• A zone set name cannot contain spaces.

• Valid characters are alphanumerics and the caret ( ^ ),

hyphen ( - ), underscore ( _ ), or dollar ( $ ) symbols.

• A zone set name can have a maximum of 64 characters.

3. Type the zone name and click Add New Zone. After the name is

validated, the new zone name (Zone-1) and an associated Delete

button appear at the bottom of the page. Note the following:

• Save and activate the zone - Changes to a zone or zoning

configuration are not saved and activated on the switch until

saved as part of a zone set. Go to Configure Zone Sets on

page 2-49 to perform this function.
