LSAN zones
Connecting to another network through a Fibre Channel (FC) router, you can create an LSAN zone to
include zone objects on other fabrics. No merging takes place across the FC router when you create
an LSAN zone.
Supported configurations for LSAN zoning
LSAN zoning is available only for backbone fabrics and any directly connected edge fabrics. A
backbone fabric is a fabric that contains an FC router. All discovered backbone fabrics have the
prefix LSAN_ in their fabric name, which is listed in the Zoning Scope list.
