Device Access

Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled through the

use of zoning. Some zoning strategies include the following:

Separate devices by operating system.

Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in

the fabric or that have classified data.

Separate devices into department, administrative, or other functional group.

Zoning divides the fabric to control discovery and inbound traffic. A zone is a

named group of ports or devices. Members of the same zone can communicate

with each other and transmit outside the zone, but cannot receive inbound traffic

from outside the zone. Zoning is hardware-enforced only when a port/device is a

member of no more than 8 zones whose combined membership does not exceed

64. If this condition is not satisfied, that port behaves as a soft zone member. Y o u

can assign ports/devices to a zone individually, or as a group by creating an alias.

A zone can be a component of more than one zone set. Several zone sets can be

defined for a fabric, but only one zone set can be active at one time. The active

zone set determines the current fabric zoning. The switch maintains an orphan

zone set that contains zones that are not members of any other zone set.

A zoning database is maintained on each switch. Table2-1 describes the zoning

database limits, excluding the active zone set.

Table 2-1. Zoning Database Limits

Limit Description

MaxZoneSets Maximum number of zone sets (256).

MaxZones Maximum number of zones (2,000).

MaxAliases Maximum number of aliases (2,500).

MaxTotalMembers Maximum number of zone and alias members (10,000) that

can be stored in the zoning database. Each instance of a

zone member or alias member counts toward this maximum.

MaxZonesInZoneSets Maximum number of zones that are components of zone

sets (2000), excluding the orphan zone set. Each instance of

a zone in a zone set counts toward this maximum.

MaxMembersPerZone Maximum number of members in a zone (2,000).

MaxMembersPerAlias Maximum number of members in an alias (2,000)
