3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.4 Zoning a Fabric Zoning enables you to divide the ports and devices of the fabric into zones for more efficient and secure communication among functionally grouped nodes. This subsection addresses the following topics: ■ Zoning concepts ■ Using the Zoning Config window ■ Restoring default zoning ■ Merging fabrics and zoning ■ Using the Edit Zoning window ■ Managing zone sets ■ Managing zones ■ Managing aliases 3.4.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.4.1.1 Zones A zone is a named group of ports or devices that can communicate with each other. Membership in a zone can be defined by port number, device Fibre Channel address, or device World Wide Name (WWN). Zone members can communicate only with members of the same zone. Zones can overlap; that is, a port or device can be a member of more than one zone. Note: Domain ID conflicts can result in automatic reassignment of switch domain IDs.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.4.1.1.2 Access Control List Hard Zones Access Control List (ACL) zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery and inbound traffic. ACL zoning is a type of hard zoning that is hardware enforced. This type of zoning is useful for controlling access to certain devices without totally isolating them from the fabric. Members can communicate with each other and transmit outside the ACL zone, but cannot receive inbound traffic from outside the zone.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.4.1.3 Zone Sets A zone set is a named group of zones. A zone can be a member of more than one zone set. All zones that are not members of a zone set belong to the orphan zone set. The orphan zone set is saved to the switch. Each switch in the fabric maintains its own zoning database containing one or more zone sets. This zoning database resides in non-volatile or permanent memory and is therefore retained after a reset.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.4.1.5 Zoning Configuration Note the following SANbox2 zoning configuration concepts: ■ Orphan zones are allowed. ■ You can not edit an active zone set. ■ The three types of zones are Soft, VPF, and ACL. ■ Aliases are allowed.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.4.1.5.1 Auto Save The Auto Save parameter on a switch determines whether zoning changes received from other switches in the fabric will be automatically saved to permanent memory on that switch. Zoning changes you apply to your switch are automatically saved to permanent memory on your switch, but where those changes are saved on each switch in the fabric is dependent on whether a switch has the Auto Save parameter enabled or disabled.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.4.2 Using the Zoning Config Window Use the Zoning Config window to change the Auto Save, Merge Mode, and Default Visibility configuration parameters. In the faceplate display, open the Zoning menu and select Edit Zoning Config to open the Zoning Config window shown in Figure 3-3.
