Usage Guidelines Zones are assigned to zone sets. Zone sets are then activated from one switch and propagate across the
fabric to all switches. Zones allow security by permitting and denying access between nodes (hosts and
storage). zone name commands are entered from the configuration mode. Configure a zone for a VSAN
from the config-zone mode.
Use the show wwn switch command to retrieve the switch world wide name (sWWN). If you do not
provide an sWWN, the software automatically uses the local sWWN.
