You must activate a zone set to apply its zoning definitions to the fabric. Only one zone set can be active at one time.

If Auto Save is enabled, the zone set is saved in the permanent zoning database also. Refer to ”Auto Save” on page 3-14.

The purpose of the deactivate function is to suspend all fabric zoning which results in free communication fabric wide or no communication depending on the default visibility setting. Refer to ”Default Visibility” on page 3-14for more information. It is not necessary to deactivate the active zone set before activating a new one.

■To activate a zone set, open the Zoning menu and select Activate Zone Set to open the Activate Zone Set window. Select a zone set from the Select Zone Set pull-down menu, and choose the Activate button.

■To deactivate the active zone set, open the Zoning menu, select Deactivate Zone Set. Acknowledge the warning about traffic disruption, and choose the Yes button to confirm that you want to deactivate the active zone set.
