To view an alias in the defined configuration

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the aliShow command.
The following example shows all zone aliases beginning with "arr".
switch:admin> alishow "arr*"
alias: array1
alias: array2
If no parameters are specified, the entire zone database (both the defined and effective configuration) is
displayed.

Creating and maintaining zones

Before executing cfgDisable,cfgEnable, or cfgSave, execute the rcsDisabled command to
check whether or not your fabric has Reliable Commit Service (RCS) enabled (rcsDisabled=0). If RCS is
disabled (rcsDisabled=1), check for older switches in the fabric. After the older switches are upgraded,
RCS is enabled by default.
RCS is available on all switch versions 4.1 and later. RCS guarantees that either all or none of the switches
receive the new zone configuration. It is recommended that you use RCS to secure a reliable propagation
of the latest zone configuration. If you use non-RCS mode, you must log in to every switch to monitor the
status of the zone configuration.

To create a zone

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the zoneCreate command.
3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
switch:admin> zonecreate "greenzone", "2,32; 2,33; 2,34; 4,4"
switch:admin> zonecreate "redzone", "21:00:00:20:37:0c:66:23; 4,3"
switch:admin> cfgsave
You are about to save the Defined Zoning configuration. This
action will only save the changes on the Defined configuration.
Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not
take effect until it is re-enabled.
Do you want to save Defined Zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
