Configuring Zones
92 Embedded Web Server User Guide
Configuring, Adding, or Deleting Zones
Perform this procedure to configure, change, add, or delete zones. A zone is a
group of devices that can access each other through port-to-port connections.
Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other;
devices in different zones cannot.
Caution: If, in your business practices, zoning tasks are performed using
both the Command Line Interface (CLI) and EWS, you risk potential conflicts
in the configuration and functionality could be lost.
To configure zones:
1. Choose Configure from the navigation panel.
2. At the Configure page, choose the Zoning tab and the Zones tab. The Zones
tab view displays as shown in Figure 23 .

3. To configure a zone, first add the zone name to the product configuration. The
following naming conventions apply to zones and zone sets:
■ All names must be unique and may not differ by case only. For example,
zone-1 and Zone-1 are both valid individually, but are not considered
unique.
