Redirection zones
It is recommended that you zone the host and target together before configuring them for
encryption. Configuring a host/target pair for encryption normally creates a re-direction zone to
redirect the host-target traffic through the encryption engine. But redirection zones can only be
created if the host and target are already zoned. If the host and target are not already zoned, you
can still configure them for encryption, but afterward you will need to zone the host and target
together, and then click the Commit button to create the re-direction zones as a separate step.
NOTE
If you click the Commit button and the encryption group is busy, you are given the option to force the
commit or abort the changes. Click the Commit button to re-create the redirection zones.
