Name Server Zoning by World Wide Name

Name server zoning by world wide name (WWN) allows the division of the fabric into as many as 256 zones that deﬁne which devices receive Name Server information. A particular device may be deﬁned in one or more Name Server zones. A device will receive Name Server information for all Name Server zones of which it is a member. If hard zones are enabled, Name Server zones do not cross the deﬁned hard zone boundaries. Name server zones may overlap each other. T_Ports are not affected by Name Server zones.

Segmented Loop Zones

Segmented loop zones allow the division of the fabric into as many as 256 zones that deﬁne the SL_Ports that may communicate with each other. Each segmented loop zone can have a maximum of 32 SL_Ports, and each AL_PA within a segmented loop zone must be unique. You can zone individual SL_Ports together, or all SL_Ports on a chassis by deﬁning the chassis as an SL Private Loop stage type. Refer to “SL Private Loop Stage Type” on page 1-5for more information. If hard zones are enabled, segmented loop zones do not cross the deﬁned hard zone boundaries.

•Conﬁgure the Mode of each port on the selected chassis. Port Modes include:

-F_Port (Port forced to be an F_Port)

-FL_Port (Port allowed to self-conﬁgure as a Public Loop port or an F_Port)

-SL_Port (Port forced to be a Private Segmented Loop port)

-TL_Port (Port forced to be a Private Translated Loop port)

-F_Ext16, F_Ext24, F_Ext32 (2, 3, or 4 ports conﬁgured for extended credit chaining)

-Off Line (Port forced off line)

-Test (Port forced into test mode)

•Tune any port on the selected chassis to the multi-frame-sequence (MFS) characteristics of the particular host bus adapter

•View the type of GBIC installed in each port on the selected chassis

•View statistics for each port on the selected chassis

•View Address, WWN, FC-4 Type, and Logged-In status of each Loop Device connected to any port on the selected chassis
