Figure 24 displays a sample zoning database and the relationship between the zone aliases,
zones, and zoning configuration. The database contains one zoning configuration, myconfig, which
contains two zones: Zone A and Zone B. The database also contains four aliases, which are
members of Zone A and Zone B. Zone A and Zone B also have additional members other than the
aliases.
