Zoning
The zoning configurations are supported for Fabric Services operation on the S5000.
In Fabric Services, the fcoe-map default_full_fabrichas 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 specifies. 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-defined name of a zone member.
NOTE: The S5000 does not support using WWNN or Domain/Port as members of a zone.
