Zone - A zone is a group of devices that can access each other
through port-to-port connections. Devices in the same zone can
recognize and communicate with each other; devices in different
zones cannot.

can be active at one time.
The following naming conventions apply to zones and zone sets:

All names must be unique and may not differ by case only. For

not considered unique.
•
The first character of a zone set name must be a letter
(A through Z or a through z).

A zone set name cannot contain spaces.
•
Valid characters are alphanumerics and the caret ( ^ ),
hyphen ( - ), underscore ( _ ), or dollar ( $ ) symbols.

A zone set name can have a maximum of 64 characters.
