At this point the VFC and FC interfaces should be populated in the FLOGI database. This command is
showing the devices that have done a valid FLOGI (fabric login) to the Cisco Nexus switch. The VFC
should show the expected port and node WWN of the CNA being used in the server.
The following command will show the status of the zones that have been put into place. The asterisks
will indicate devices that have an established session (have negotiated and logged in) with the Cisco

the participating zones with their individual members.
Example of show zoneset active command Figure 17.
