An alias is a collection of objects that can be zoned together. An alias is not a zone,
and cannot have a zone or another alias as a member.
Notes:
Changes that you make to the zoning database are limited to the managed switch
and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to configured
zone sets fabric wide, you must edit the zoning databases on the individual
switches.
You will not see aliases in the active zone set.
