Brocade switches in zones

Brocade switches that are managed by using Brocade Network Advisor support some non-standard zones such as quick loop zones, fabric assist zones, and protocol zones. If the switch configurations have these zones already defined, IBM Spectrum Control preserves them and does not modify them in any way.

You can create, change, and delete non-standard zones by using the Brocade switch management application.

Note: IBM Spectrum Control allows you to add empty zones to an inactive zone definition. Activation of a zone set containing empty zones may still fail if the switch does not support empty zones in active zone definitions.
