Cisco switches and QLogic switches negotiate for principal switch automatically. Therefore, there 
are no steps to take.

This section discusses configuring active Zone Set names and Zone types.

The Zone and Zone Set names on each switch must be unique. If not, change one of the duplicate 
names. All Zone Set and Zone names must conform to the Fibre Channel (FC) Standards for Zone 
Naming (ANSI T11/00-427v3):

1. Must be 1–64 characters in length.

2. All characters are ASCII.

3. First character is [a–z] or [A–Z].

4. All other characters must be [a–z], [A–Z], [0–9], or the _ character. Other characters ($-^) may 

not be supported by all vendors and should be avoided.
