To edit the zoning database for a particular switch, open the Zoning menu from

stored in flash (non-volatile) memory and retained after resetting a switch.

To apply zoning to a fabric, choose a zone set and activate it. When you activate a 
zone set, the switch distributes that zone set and its zones, excluding aliases, to 
every switch in the fabric. This zone set is known as the active zone set.
