Configuring Zoning
From the Fibre Channel section of the Switching Layer-2 page, you can configure zoning settings for
Fibre Channel Fabric Services (FPORT) mode.
Zoning helps improve Storage Area Network (SAN) security by restricting information access to the
member devices in a defined zone. Any two devices that are not members of one common zone are not
permitted to communicate with one another. Zoning can be used to create functional areas within the
SAN and prevent unauthorized access. For example, some organizations use zones to ensure that finance
systems on the SAN cannot access the data that engineering or test systems own. Zoning also makes
SANs easier to manage. A common use of zoning is to segregate servers and enterprise storage that use
different operating systems to avoid undesirable results that the accidental transfer of information from
one to another can cause.
