Enabling a Zone Configuration

When a zone configuration is enabled, all zones within the configuration are
enabled. All devices within an enabled zone are visible to each other; they cannot,
however, communicate outside their zone. Zones can overlap within a zone
configuration.
When a zone configuration is enabled, the following occurs:
1. All aliases are expanded.
2. All inconsistencies are checked.
3. Switch hardware is loaded with the zoning information.
4. Zone members are loaded.
5. Registered State Change Notifications (RSCNs) are generated.
6. The configuration is saved to flash memory.

If any inconsistencies are discovered, an error occurs and the previous state of
the fabric is preserved. For example, if zoning is disabled, it remains disabled;
if an existing configuration is enabled, it remains enabled.
