3.4.5 Defining hard zoning
In our example shown in Figure 3-59, we want to separate eight director ports for
usage by the finance department only. In no way should it be possible for anyone
else to gain access to their ports. That is why these eight director ports will be put
into one dedicated hard zone (the Finance hard zone).
Figure 3-59 INRANGE hard zoning: Layout scenario
Considering the hard zoning rules that we have already discussed, we will place
all remaining ports into a second zone. This second zone can be used by all
other systems. Name server zoning is possible in both hard zones.
