Configuring Zones Naming Conventions for Zones and Zone Sets The following naming conventions apply to zones and zone sets: • All names must be unique and may not differ by case only. For example, myzone and MyZone are both valid individually, but they are not unique. • The first character of a zone set name must be a letter (A-Z, a-z). • A zone set name cannot contain spaces. • Valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, ^, -, _, and $. • A zone set name can have a maximum of 64 characters. Zones A zone comprises a set of members that can access each other. Refer to Table 3-1 on page 3-10 for details on the number of members that you can configure in a zone and the number of zones that you can configure with the EWS Configure Zone functions. A zone member can be a Switch or Director port or the WWN of the device. Ports and devices spread throughout multiple managed products in a multiswitch fabric may be grouped into the same zone. Members of a zone can see each other; members in different zones cannot. The number of members that you can configure for a zone varies according to the number of zones in the zone set, the length of the zone names, and other factors, but is essentially bounded by the available nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) in the managed product. NOTE: Port numbers cannot be used for zone members if the interoperability mode for the Switch or Director is set to Open Fabric 1.0 mode. In this case, you must use node WWNs as zone members. The type of zone members identified for a zone may be mixed and matched. For example, two members may be specified by a port number and the third member by the WWN of the device. 3-6 embedded web server user guide

Configuring Zones
Naming Conventions for Zones and Zone Sets
The following naming conventions apply to zones and zone sets:
All names must be unique and may not differ by case only. For example, myzone
and MyZone are both valid individually, but they are not unique.
The first character of a zone set name must be a letter (A-Z, a-z).
A zone set name cannot contain spaces.
Valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, ^, -, _, and $.
A zone set name can have a maximum of 64 characters.
Zones
A zone comprises a set of members that can access each other. Refer to
Table 3–1 on
page 3-10
for details on the number of members that you can configure in a zone and
the number of zones that you can configure with the EWS Configure Zone functions.
A zone member can be a Switch or Director port or the WWN of the device. Ports and
devices spread throughout multiple managed products in a multiswitch fabric may be
grouped into the same zone. Members of a zone can see each other; members in
different zones cannot. The number of members that you can configure for a zone
varies according to the number of zones in the zone set, the length of the zone names,
and other factors, but is essentially bounded by the available nonvolatile
random-access memory (NVRAM) in the managed product.
NOTE:
Port numbers cannot be used for zone members if the interoperability mode for the
Switch or Director is set to Open Fabric 1.0 mode. In this case, you must use node WWNs as
zone members.
The type of zone members identified for a zone may be mixed and matched. For
example, two members may be specified by a port number and the third member by
the WWN of the device.
