One-Step Zoning configuration menu (root/config/zone)
One-Step Zoning allows ports to be divided into multiple virtual zones (or work groups),
similar to Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN). By separating activity on the network,
zoning also eliminates change notification propagation (change notifications that occur
within one zone cannot propagate to other zones.)
Use zoning to:
• Separate different operating system environments.
• Temporarily block or grant access during backup or other tasks.
• Consolidate equipment logically.
• Designate closed user groups for increased security.
• Separate test or maintenance areas from production areas.
