• Soft zoning is the least restrictive type of zoning.

ACL zones need not include interswitch links.
• VPF zoning is hard zoning that defines ports that can communicate with each other. VPF
zones must include interswitch links.
For more information about zone types, see "Zones" on page 83.
Managing aliases
An alias is a named set of ports or devices that are grouped together for convenience. An alias is not
a zone and cannot have a zone or another alias as a member. This section describes how to create,
remove, and add a member to an alias.
