You can also open the Sort menu and select By Severity, By Timestamp, By Source, By Type, or By Description. Successive sort operations of the same type alternate between ascending and descending order.

Active Zone Set Data Window

The Active Zoneset data window displays the zone membership for the active zone set that resides on the fabric management switch. The active zone set is the same on all switches in the fabric – you can confirm this by adding a fabric through another switch and comparing Active Zone Set displays.

To open the Active Zoneset data window, choose the Active Zoneset tab below the data window in the topology display. Refer to ”Configured Zonesets Data Window” on page 4-10for information about the zone set definitions on a particular switch. Refer to ”Zoning a Fabric” on page 3-13for more information about zone sets and zones.

The Active Zoneset data window, shown in Figure 3-4, uses display conventions for expanding and contracting entries that are similar to the fabric tree. An entry handle located to the left of an entry in the tree indicates that the entry can be expanded. Click this handle or double-click the following entries:

„A zone set entry expands to show its member zones.

„A zone entry expands to show its member port/devices.

„WWN and FC devices that are zoned, but no longer part of the fabric, are grayed-out.
