# SANbox2-64 Edit Zoning Dialog

The Edit Zoning dialog has a zone set tree on the left side, and a port/device (or members) tree on the right side. Both trees expand and contract zone sets, zones, and ports. An expanded port shows the port Fibre Channel address; and expanded address shows the port worldwide name. Zoned devices no longer present in the fabric are grayed-out.

To edit the zoning database for a particular switch, open the faceplate display, open the Switch menu, and select Zoning to display the Edit Zoning dialog. Using menu options, buttons, popup menus, and/or drag-and-drop, you can create and manage zone sets and zones, and save the changes to the zoning database.

Before requested zoning changes are applied, SANbox Manager checks for possible zoning violations and informs the user of possible zoning conflicts (listed below).

* Empty zone sets

* Empty zones

* Empty alias

To select zone sets, zones, or ports:
