Zoning
The zoning congurations 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
species. 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-dened name of a zone member.
NOTE
: The S5000 does not support using WWNN or Domain/Port as members of a zone.
