Viewing zoning limits and properties
Zoning limits vary depending on the firmware installed on the switch:
• MaxZoneSets—The maximum number of zone sets that can be configured on the switch.
• MaxZones—The maximum number of zones that can be configured on the switch, including orphan
zones.
• MaxAliases—The maximum number of aliases that can be configured on the switch.
• MaxTotalMembers—The maximum number of zone and alias members that can be stored in the
switch’s zoning database. Each instance of a zone member or alias member counts toward this
maximum.
• MaxZonesInZoneSets—The maximum number of zone linkages to zone sets that can be configured on
the switch. A linkage is configured every time a zone is added to a zone set.
• MaxMembersPerZone—The maximum number of zone members that can be added to any zone on the
switch. When added to a zone, an alias is considered to be a zone member.
• MaxMembersPerAlias—The maximum number of zone members that can be added to any alias on the
switch.
