Best practices for zoning 8 The wizard allows you to define one and only one name for each device port (WWN). Devices with one or more aliases are considered already named and are not displayed. NOTE To enter a zone alias name, double-click the Zone Alias field for each device, and type the name. After typing each alias name, you must press Enter or click another zone alias field, or the wizard does not accept the name. Best practices for zoning The following are recommendations for using zoning: • Always zone using the highest Fabric OS-level switch. Switches with lower Fabric OS versions do not have the capability to view all the functionality that a newer Fabric OS provides as functionality is backwards compatible but not forwards compatible. • Zone using the core switch versus an edge switch. • Zone using a director over a switch. A director has more resources to handle zoning changes and implementations. • Zone on the switch you connect to when bringing up Web Tools (the proxy switch).
