Broadcast Zone Rules
1.
A Broadcast Zone is only valid if it is enabled.
2.
If Broadcast Zones are used on a Single Stage Switch in-which Hard Zones
are defined, the Broadcast Zones must not overlap Hard Zone boundaries.
3.
For example: If Hard Zoning in an 16-port Single Stage Switch places Port 4
in one zone and Port 5 in another zone, Broadcast Zoning must not include
Ports 4 and 5 in the same zone.
4.
Broadcast Zones operate fabric-wide (regardless of fabric configuration).
5.
There is a maximum of 16 Broadcast Zones.
6.
A port may be defined as being in one or more Broadcast Zones (Broadcast
Zones may overlap).
7.
When a port sends a broadcast, the broadcast goes to all ports in the
Broadcast Zone (or zones) that the port is defined in.
8.
All ports not defined as being part of any enabled Broadcast Zone are
Broadcast Zone Orphans. Broadcast Zone Orphans are all placed in the same
Broadcast Orphan zone.
9.
All SL_Ports for a particular segmented loop must be in the same Broadcast
Zone.
Name Server Zone Rules (Port Zoning Method)
Refer to
page 2-27
for a description of name server zoning method.
1.
A Name Server Zone is only valid if it is enabled.
2.

3.
If Name Server Zones are used on a Switch in-which Hard Zones are defined,
the Name Server Zones must not overlap Hard Zone boundaries.

in another zone, Name Server Zoning must not include Ports 4 and 5 in the
same zone.
4.
Name Server Zones operate fabric-wide (regardless of fabric configuration,
but within hard zone boundaries).
