Zoning
The zoning congurations are supported for Fabric FCF Port mode operation on the MXL.
In FCF Port mode, the fcoe-map fabric map-name has the default Zone mode set to deny. This setting denies all the fabric
connections unless included in an active zoneset. To change this setting, use the
default-zone-allow command. Changing this
setting to all allows all the fabric connections without zoning.
Zoning is a mechanism to ensure only the nodes that are part of a zone can communicate with each other. Zoning prevents
unauthorized access of storage assets. A zone consists of members which are nodes that the adapter address, fabric address,
interface, or alias species. S5000 supports using World Wide Port Name (WWPN), Fibre Channel ID (FC-ID), or alias as members
of a zone.
• WWPN: End device's port WWN name.
• FC-ID: Switch assigned 24-bit device FC address.
• Alias: User-dened name of a zone member.
NOTE: The M I/O Aggregator does not support using WWNN or Domain/Port as members of a zone.
