A port or device may be defined as being in one or more Name Server Zones
(Name Server Zones may overlap).
7.
When a port receives Name Server information, it will receive information
about all ports in the Name Server Zone (or zones) in which the port is
assigned.
8.
All ports (or devices) not defined as being part of any enabled Name Server
Zone are Name Server Zone Orphans. Name Server Zone Orphans are all
placed in the same Name Server Orphan zone.
Name Server Zone Rules (WWN Zoning Method) (SANbox-8 and SANbox-16)
Refer to
page 2-27
for a description of name server zoning method.
1.
A WWN Zone is only valid if it is enabled.
2.
If WWN Zones are used on a Single Stage Switch in-which Hard Zones are
defined, the Name Server WWN Zones must not overlap Hard Zone bound-
aries.
For example: If Hard Zoning in a 16-port Single Stage Switch places devices
from Port 4 in one Hard Zone and other devices from Port 4 in another Hard
Zone, Name Server WWN Zoning must not include all Port 4 devices in the
same zone.
3.
Name Server WWN Zones operate fabric-wide (regardless of fabric configu-
ration, but within hard zone boundaries).
4.
There is a maximum of 256 Name Server WWN Zones (independent of
Broadcast Zones).
5.
A device may be defined as being in one or more Name Server WWN Zones
(Name Server WWN Zones may overlap).
6.
When a device receives WWN information, it will receive information about
all devices in the Name Server WWN Zone (or zones) in which the device is
assigned.
7.
All devices not defined as being part of any enabled Name Server WWN
Zone are Name Server WWN Zone Orphans. Name Server WWN Zone
Orphans are all placed in the same Name Server WWN zone.
SL Zone Rules (SANbox-8 and SANbox-16)
1.
An SL Zone is only valid if it is enabled.
2.
If SL Zones are enabled, Hard Zones may not overlap SL zone boundaries.
For example: If SL Zoning in a particular Switch chassis places Port 6 in one
zone and Port 7 in another zone, a Hard Zone should not include Ports 6 and
