2. Zoning features enable you to establish zoning across a fabric of devices attached to switches and directors by partitioning these devices into groups called zones A zone is composed of devices that can access each other through port to port connections Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other devices in different zones cannot System administrators create zones to increase security measures and prevent data loss or corruption by controlling access between devices such as servers and data storage units or between separate user groups such as engineering or human resources Zoning allows an administrator to Establish barriers between devices that use different operating systems For example it is often critical to separate servers and storage devices with different operating systems because accidental transfer of information from one to another can delete or corrupt data Zoning prevents this by grouping devices that use the same operating systems into zones Create logical subsets of closed user groups Administrators can authorize access rights to specific zones for specific user groups thereby protecting confidential data from unauthorized access Create groups of devices that are separate from devices in the rest of a fabric Zoning allows certain processes such as maintenance or testing to be performed on devices in one group without interrupting devices in other groups Allow temporary acc

310. zone member by the WWN is that removal and replacement of a device HBA or Fibre Channel interface thereby changing the device WWN disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone Using Port Numbers To identify a zone member by port number use the domain identification number of the managed product and the port number on that managed product For example Domain 1 Port 1 NOTE Port numbers cannot be used for zone members if the Interoperability mode for the switch or director is set to Open Fabric 1 0 mode Port numbers can be 0 through n with n representing the number of ports on the managed product minus one When you define a zone member by a port number any device attached through that port is included in the zone A port number that you assign as a zone member is automatically prefixed with the domain identification number of the managed product The advantage of identifying a zone member by port number is that if the HBA on an attached device fails you don t have to identify the member with the WWN of the replacement HBA A disadvantage of port zoning is that someone may rearrange cable connections to ports because of port failures or other reasons and inadvertently allow devices to communicate that should not have access to each other Default Zone Zone Sets NOTE If a managed product s Domain ID changes you must reconfigure all zones that contained the managed p
