Technical data

If a host attempts to access a port that is outside its zone, the switch
hardware blocks the access.
You must modify the zone configuration when you move any cables from
one port to another within the zone.
If you want to guarantee that there is no access outside any zone, either
use hard zoning, or use operating systems that state that they support soft
zoning.
Table 6–2 lists the types of zoning that are supported on each of the
supported Fibre Channel switches.

6.5.3 Zoning Example
Figure 6–11 provides an example configuration using zoning. This
configuration consists of two independent zones with each zone containing
an independent cluster.
