B-series creating a zone commands Creating zone by WWN zonecreate "zone1", "10:00:00:e0:69:20:07:10 ; 50:06:04:80:b8:91:c2:ce"

Create a zone configuration saving the zone configuration enable the zone configuration saving the zone configuration view zoning information

Tips In CLI, you can list out the data you want by using these commands. Example: switchshow |grep hostname Switchshow |grep zonename

Zoning limits

64 zone sets (max) 2000 zones (max) 1024 zones per zone set (max) default should all ways be disabled (causes all port to see each other creating ghosts in a FA's login table)
