Activating and Deactivating a Zone Set

You must activate a zone set to apply its zoning definitions to the fabric. Only one

zone set can be active at one time. When you activate a zone set, the switch

distributes that zone set to the temporary zoning database on every switch in the

drop-down list, and click the Activate button.

■To deactivate the active zone set, open the Zoning menu, select Deactivate

Zone Set. Acknowledge the warning about traffic disruption, and click the Yes

button to confirm that you want to deactivate the active zone set.
