• MaxTotalMembers is 10,000. This limit is the maximum number of zone and<br />
alias members (10,000) that can be stored in the switch’s zoning database. Each<br />
instance of a zone member or alias member counts toward this maximum.<br />
• MaxZonesInZoneSets is 2000. This limit is the maximum number of zone<br />
linkages to zonesets that can be configured on the switch. Every time a zone is<br />
added to a zoneset this constitutes a linkage.<br />
• MaxMembersPerZone is 2000. This limit is the maximum number of zone<br />
members that can be added to any zone on the switch. Aliases are considered<br />
zone members when added to a zone.<br />
• MaxMembersPerAlias is 2000. This limit is the maximum number of zone<br />
members that can be added to any alias on the switch.<br />
Managing the zoning database<br />
Managing the zoning database consists of the following:<br />
• Editing the zoning database<br />
• Configuring the zoning database<br />
• Saving the zoning database to a file<br />
• Restoring the zoning database from a file<br />
• Restoring the default zoning database<br />
• Removing all zoning definitions<br />
Editing the zoning database<br />
Use the Edit Zoning dialog, shown in Figure 11, to edit the zoning database for a<br />
particular switch. To open the Edit Zoning dialog, open the Zoning menu and select<br />
Edit Zoning. Changes can be made only to inactive zone sets, which are stored in<br />
flash (non-volatile) memory and retained after resetting a switch.<br />
