Activating and deactivating a zone set

You must activate a zone set to apply its zoning definitions to the fabric. Only one zone set can be active at one time. When you activate a zone set, the switch distributes that zone set to the temporary zoning database on every McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch in the fabric. To activate a zone set:

1.Select Zoning > Activate Zone Set to open the Activate Zone Set dialog.

2.Select a zone set from the Select Zone Set drop-down list.

3.Click Activate to activate the selected zone set.

The purpose of the deactivate function is to suspend all fabric zoning that results in no communication among devices. It is not necessary to deactivate the active zone set before activating a new one. To deactivate the active zone set:

1.Select Zoning > Deactivate Zone Set to open the Deactivate Zone Set dialog.

2.Acknowledge the warning about traffic disruption.

3.Click Yes to confirm that you want to deactivate the active zone set.

2.Select the zone or zones to be removed in the Zone Sets tree.

3.Select Edit > Remove to remove the zone from the zone set.

4.Click Apply to save changes to the zoning database.

Alternatively, you can use shortcut menus to remove a zone from a zone set or from all zone sets in the database.

Removing a zone set

2.Select the zone set to be removed in the Zone Sets tree.
