Using Zoning 19
Enabling a Zone Configuration
When a zone configuration is enabled, all zones within the configuration
are enabled. All devices within an enabled zone are visible to each other;
however, they cannot communicate outside their zone. Zones can overlap
within a zone configuration.
When a zone configuration is enabled, the following sequence occurs:
1. All aliases are expanded.
2. Inconsistencies are checked.
If any inconsistencies are discovered, an error occurs and the previous
state of the fabric is preserved. (For example, if zoning was disabled, it
remains disabled; if an existing configuration was enabled, it remains
enabled.)
