Configuring zoning

The default zone on the Edge Switch is disabled by default. Zoning must be configured in order for

any devices connected to the Edge Switch to communicate. Perform this procedure to configure,

change, add, or delete zones or zone sets.

• A zone is a group of devices that can access each other through port-to-port connections.

Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other; devices in different

zones cannot.

• A zone set is a group of zones that is activated or deactivated as a single entity across all

managed products in either a single-switch or a multiswitch fabric. Only one zone set can be

active at one time.

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 can have a maximum of 64 characters and cannot contain spaces.

• Valid characters are alphanumerical and the caret (^), hyphen (-), underscore (_), or dollar

($) symbols.

For instructions about configuring zones and zone sets, see the HAFM Basic user guide.
