aware of those elements in the additional zones. When you activate Zone Set Two, users would still have access to the elements in Finance zone because it is also a member of Zone Two.
NOTE: Create zone aliases to easily keep track of your zones. Instead of remembering a port's name, you can assign a meaningful name. As a best practice, a zone should contain either zone aliases or ports, but not both.
The SAN Zoning tool is able to manage the two types of zoning:
•Switch Port Zoning - A switch port represented by a port number in a zone. Any device attached to the port is automatically in the zone.
•WWN Zoning - A device port represented by the Worldwide Name (WWN) in the zone.
The following diagram provides an overview of zoning:
