Multiple Switch Zoning

Zones can be configured across multiple switches using a similar procedure to a single switch. However, multiple-switch zoning requires some coordination between the switches.

Note: To ensure zone integrity when configuring multiple switch zoning, you must implement AL_PA zoning through the Command Line Interface (CLI). See “AL_PA Zoning” on page 43 for additional information.

Building on the example for ports in multiple zones, move the devices onto two switches and have the zones stretch between the two, as in Figure 3-17.

Figure 3-17: Devices in Multiple Zones Across Multiple Switches

In Figure 3-17, zone 1 includes ports 2, 4, 5, and cascade port 1, while zone 2 includes ports 3, 5, 6, and cascade port 1. Ports 1 (cascade port) and 5 are in both zones.
