Zones

A zone is a named group of ports or devices that can communicate with each other. Membership in a zone can be defined by domain ID and port number, device Fibre Channel address, or device World Wide Name (WWN). Zone members can communicate only with members of the same zone.

Three types of zones are supported. The following zone types define increasingly restrictive levels of communication.

Soft zone

Access Control List (ACL) - hard zone
