Configuring The Default Zone Access Permission; Fc Alias Creation - Cisco Nexus 5500 Series NX-OS Configuration Manual

Zone Sets
When the switch is initialized for the first time, no zones are configured and all members are considered
Note
to be part of the default zone. Members are not permitted to communicate with each other.
Configure the default zone policy on each switch in the fabric. If you change the default zone policy on one
switch in a fabric, be sure to change it on all the other switches in the fabric.
Note The default settings for default zone configurations can be changed.
The default zone members are explicitly listed when the default policy is configured as permit or when a zone
set is active. When the default policy is configured as deny, the members of this zone are not explicitly
enumerated when you view the active zone set.
