Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

✓
Create zones, add them to the zone set, then activate the zone set.
The active zone set is the only zone set that is enforced; changes must be activated to apply.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create zones and directly add them to the database; activation is automatic.
Why it's wrong here
Zones must be part of a zone set and activated.
- ✗
Create zones and add them to the active zone set; deactivate the zone set to apply changes.
Why it's wrong here
Deactivation would remove enforcement, not apply changes.
- ✓
Create zones, add them to the zone set, then activate the zone set.
Why this is correct
Zones must be added to a zone set, which is then activated to become the active zone set.
- ✗
Create zones and add them to the full zone set; the switch automatically activates changes.
Why it's wrong here
Changes are not automatically activated; they require an explicit 'activate' command.
