•For more information about which zoning features are supported for your switches, see Table 134 on page 521.

•Cisco SMI-S Switch Connections only: Active zone sets are listed multiple times for each switch in the virtual SAN. When a zone set is activated, the zone set is copied to each switch in the virtual SAN. The zone set is then listed twice (active and non-active versions) for each switch.

This page lists information about zone sets under the following columns:

•Name - Click the name of the zone set to view its properties. Keep in mind the following:

•(Cisco SMI-S switches) The management server prefixes the names of zone sets on Cisco switches with the name of the Virtual SAN and the switch the zone sets reside on. For example, assume you have the name VSANNAME:cisco1:ZoneSetName displayed under the Name column. VSANNAME is the name of the virtual SAN in which the zone set was created, cisco1 is the name of the switch containing the zone set, and ZoneSetName is the name the user assigned to the zone set.

•(QLogic SMI-S switches) The management server prefixes the names of zone sets on QLogic switches with the name of the switch. For example, assume you have the name Qlogic1:Zone_set_name displayed under the Name column. Qlogic1 is the name of the switch, and Zone_set_name is the name the user assigned to the zone set.

•Zones - Click the name of the zone to view its properties.

•Active - To make a zone set active, select its corresponding Active option. When you select a zone set, you make elements outside of the zone set inaccessible. For more information, see ”Activating a Zone Set” on page 532.
