Creating a zone configuration
When you create a zone configuration, that configuration is not activated. You must explicitly enable the
zone configuration for it to become the effective configuration. Use the following procedure to create a
zone configuration:
1. From the Switch Explorer, click the Zone Administration icon in the fabric toolbar, or from the Switch
Manager, click Zoning in the navigation bar.
2. Click the Zone Configuration tab.
3. Click New in the task bar.
The New Zone Configuration window opens.
4. Enter a name for the zone configuration in the Zone Configuration Name box.
5. Select the zones to add to the zone configuration and click Add.
6. Verify that the Selected Zones list contains the correct members.
7. Click Remove to remove members if necessary.
8. Click OK.
The new zone configuration is created and displayed in the Zone Configurations tab.
Cloning a zone configuration
Cloning creates an exact duplicate of an existing zone configuration and assigns a new name to the
duplicate.
Cloning a zone configuration is useful if you want to create a new configuration that is similar to an
existing one. You can create a copy of the existing zone configuration and then edit the copy, rather than
creating the new configuration from scratch. You cannot clone the effective zone configuration.
