Output Examples The output from the config.system.show command appears as follows:

Date/Time: 04/16/2001 10:34:01
config.zoning
Note that the config.zoning commands function in a different way
from most CLI commands, which are single action commands that
take effect immediately. A zoning configuration is typically too
complicated to be described by a single command, so the first zoning
command entered invokes a work-area editor. The commands take
effect on a temporary copy of a zone set in the work area until the
temporary copy in the work area is activated to the fabric--or is
discarded.
Because not all the verification of the zone set can occur on the
temporary copy in the work area, it is possible, however unlikely,
that the copy of the zone set encounters no errors until the zone set is
activated to the fabric.
NOTE: Port numbers cannot be used for zone members if the interoperability
mode for the switch or director is set to Open Fabric 1.0 mode. In this case,
you must use node WWNs as zone members.
NOTE: A Sphereon 4300 Switch cannot participate in a fabric unless the
Fabric Capable feature is enabled. For more information, see the McDATA
Sphereon 4300 Switch Installation and Service Manual (620-000171).
Table 2-1 shows the limits for configuring zoning in McDATA fabrics
that are supported by switch and director firmware as of 11/14/03.
Although EFCM 8.0 or EFCM 8.0b may allow you to configure
greater values in the Zoning Library, values in this table have been
tested and are supported. For the latest limits, refer to the Supported
