If the Switch chassis is part of a multi-stage Switch fabric you must connect the Utilities to each Switch chassis containing fabric ports and set up the zones for each. Keep in mind that a particular zone (for example Zone 1) is fabric wide and any ports on the same or other Switch chassis that are placed in Zone 1, are in the same zone.

Name Server Zones: The Name Server Zones area contains checkboxes for managing up to four Name Server Zones and up to 16 ports. Click a port checkbox in a particular Zone row to define the port in that zone. The Switch will automatically perform rules checking that will not allow you to violate the rule about not overlapping enabled Hard Zone boundaries. Click a checked checkbox to un-check it. When you check a box in a particular zone, the Utilities will automatically check the Enabled checkbox for that zone. You may un-check it if you wish. The Utilities does this to keep you from forgetting to enable the zone.

Click the Enable checkbox for a particular zone to enable the zone. Uncheck the Enable box for a particular zone to disable the zone.

Note: You may need to reboot the SCSI Initiators after Name Server zoning changes in order to get them to read the Name Server.
