Managing aliases
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.
NOTE: 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 zonesets fabric wide, you must edit
the zoning databases on the individual switches. You will not see aliases in the active zoneset.
Creating an alias
To create an alias:
1. Open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog box.
2. Select Edit > Create Alias to open the Create Alias dialog box.
3. Enter a name for the alias, and click OK. The alias name is displayed in the Zonesets dialog box. An
alias name must begin with a letter and be no longer than 64 characters. Valid characters are 0–9,
A–Z, a–z, _, $, ^, and -.
4. Click Apply to save the alias name to the zoning database.
