Vixel 335 manual Overlapping Zones, Overlapping Zone 1 Information

Vixel Model 335 Installation & Configuration Guide CHAPTER 3 Management

The Zone Information page displays the current zoning configuration, the ports in each zone, the zone state, the init count, and the time duration ("up time") for the zone. The displayed settings are listed below:

Setting	Description
Zone number	The zone number on the switch (1-12).
Port number(s)	The port numbers that are assigned to the specified zone.
Zone state	The current state of the zone; either "up" or "down".
Init Count	The number of times a zone has transitioned from an "down" state to
	an "up" state.
Up Time	The amount of time that the zone has been operational.

Overlapping Zones

Overlapping zoning can only be implemented in Zone 1 and the switch must be operating in switching mode. To participate in overlapping zoning, each port must have their cascade mode configured to "auto".

If the switch is operating using non-overlapping zoning, you can still configure overlapping zoning within the default zone. If a LIP occurs on any port in the default zone, it will affect every port in the default zone, regardless of any overlapping zone configurations. Overlapping zones do not support LIP isolation.

To view the overlapping zoning, click Overlapping. The Overlapping Zone 1

Information page appears.
