About Zone Set Creation
In Figure 30-15, two separate sets are created, each with its own membership hierarchy and zone
members.
Figure 30-15 Hierarchy of Zone Sets, Zones, and Zone Members
Zones provide a mechanism for specifying access control, while zone sets are a grouping of zones to
enforce access control in the fabric. Either zone set A or zone set B can be activated (but not together).
Tip Zone sets are configured with the names of the member zones and the VSAN (if the zone set is in a
configured VSAN).
