Hard zones (Access Control Lists)
Access Control List (ACL) zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery and
inbound traffic. ACL zoning is a type of hard zoning that is hardware enforced. This type of
zoning is useful for controlling access to certain devices without totally isolating them from
the fabric. Members can communicate with each other and transmit outside the ACL zone, but
cannot receive inbound traffic from outside the zone. The following rules apply to ACL zones:
■
The ACL zone boundary is secure against inbound traffic.
■
ACL zones can overlap; that is, a port can be a member of more than one ACL zone.
■
ACL zone boundaries supersede soft zone boundaries.
■
Membership can be defined only by domain ID and port ID. A switch port can be a
member of multiple ACL zones whose combined membership does not exceed 128.
Soft zones
Soft zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling device discovery. Devices in the
same soft zone automatically discover and communicate freely with all other members of the
same zone. The soft zone boundary is not secure; traffic across soft zones can occur if
addressed correctly. The following rules apply to soft zones:
■
Soft zone boundaries yield to ACL zone boundaries.
■
Soft zones can overlap; that is, a port can be a member of more than one soft zone.
■
Membership can be defined by Fibre Channel address, domain ID and port number, or
worldwide name.
■
Soft zoning supports FL_Ports and F_Ports.
MaxZonesInZoneSets
Maximum number of zones that are
components of zone sets, excluding the
orphan zone set, which can be stored in the
switch zoning database. Each instance of a
zone in a zone set counts toward this
maximum.
1000
MaxMembersPerZone
Maximum number of members in a zone that
can be stored in the switch zoning database.
2000
MaxMembersPerAlias
Maximum number of members in all zones
and aliases.
2000
