Zone Settings

The switch uses two types of port zoning: Overlapping and Non-Overlapping Zones.

With overlapping zoning, devices on one port are not allowed to see devices on another port, yet those same devices can both see a device on a third port.

Figure 3-22.Overlapping Zones

In Figure 3-22, Zone 1 includes ports 1, 3, and 4, while zone 2 includes ports 2, 4 and 5. Port 4 overlaps both zones. Devices on ports 1, 3, and 4 can see each other and devices on ports 2, 4, and 5 can see each other, but devices 1 and 3 cannot see devices 2 and 5. Devices on port 4 can see all the devices on ports 1, 2, 3, and 5.

Non-overlapping zoning enables the switch to be divided into separate environments, where each environment sustains a complete 127-device AL_PA space.

Figure 3-23.Non-overlapping Zones

In Figure 3-23, Zone 1 devices operate independently of devices in Zone 2. Non- overlapping zoning allows for true LIP isolation. If a LIP occurs in one non-overlapping zone, it will not affect the operation or traffic occurring in a different zone.

To view the zoning information, click Zoning. The Zone Information page appears.
