Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Nx-Os San Switching Configuration Guide, Release 5.2(1)N1(1 - Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring and Managing Zones
• Hard and soft zoning are implemented using the active zone set. Modifications take effect during zone
set activation.
• An FC ID or Nx port that is not part of the active zone set belongs to the default zone and the default
zone information is not distributed to other switches.
Note If one zone set is active and you activate another zone set, the currently active zone set is automatically
deactivated. You do not need to explicitly deactivate the currently active zone set before activating a new
zone set.
