Name Server zones allow the division of the fabric into as many as 256
zones that define which port or device will receive Name Server infor-
mation. A particular port or device may be defined in one or more of
these Name Server Zones. If Hard Zones are enabled, Name Server
Zones may not cross the defined Hard Zone boundaries.
Name Server Port Zones will receive Name Server information for all
ports in the same Name Server Zone (or zones) in-which the port is
defined.
Name Server WWN Zones provide a means of designating individual
devices as members of a zone. Individual devices can be relocated
anywhere within the same hard zone (if used) and still be accessible to
the other devices within the WWN Zone. Devices can be moved around
to different shelves or racks within the fabric for ease of viewing, but
still remain connected to the same physical port. Physical devices may
be moved from one physical location to another within the fabric
without affecting WWN zoning configuration.
-
Broadcast Zones and Name Server Zones may overlap.
-
SL_port Zones allow the division of the fabric into as many as 256
zones that define which ports will communicate with each other. SL
Zones can be comprised of individual ports from a number of switches.
Communications will only occur between ports in the defined SL zone.
•
