Managing Aliases

An alias is a collection of objects that can be zoned together. An alias is not a zone, and can not have a zone or another alias as a member.

Note: Changes that you make to the zoning database behave as follows:

■In SW2 merge mode, changes to configured zone sets are limited to the managed switch and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to configured zone sets fabric wide, you must edit the zoning databases on the individual switches.

■In Brocade merge mode, when a zone set is activated, the entire zoning database, including any changes, is distributed from the managed switch throughout the fabric.

1.Open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning window.

2.Open the Edit menu, and select Create Alias to open the Create Alias window.

3.Enter a name for the alias, and choose the OK button. The alias name is displayed in the Zone Sets window.

4.Choose the OK button to save the alias name to the zoning database.
