Single-Switch Zoning

The simplest zoning configuration is to place each port into a single zone, so that zones are separate from each other as shown in Figure 3-13.

Figure 3-13: Devices in a Single Zone

In Figure 3-13, zone 1 includes ports 1, 3, and 4, while zone 2 includes ports 2 and 5. Devices on ports 1, 3, and 4 have direct access to each other and devices on ports 2 and 5 have direct access to each other; however, devices 1, 3, and 4 are separated from devices 2 and 5.
