About Zone Set Creation
In Figure 16-13, two separate sets are created, each with its own membership hierarchy and zone
members.
Figure 16-13 Hierarchy of Zone Sets, Zones, and Zone Members
Zones provide a method for specifying access control, while zone sets are a grouping of zones to enforce
access control in the fabric. Either zone set A or zone set B can be activated (but not together).
Tip Zone sets are configured with the names of the member zones and the VSAN (if the zone set is in a
configured VSAN).
Activating a Zone Set
Changes to a zone set do not take effect in a full zone set until you activate it.
To activate an existing zone set using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Choose Zone > Edit Local Full Zone Database.
You see the Select VSAN dialog box.
