Zone Types
All zone members must be specified by a world wide port name (WWPN) in order to comply with
Fibre Channel standards. Any zone member not specified by WWPN cannot participate in the
fabric. Below are steps to confirm the zone types.
NOTE: A world wide name (WWN) consists of a world wide node name (WWNN) and one or
more WWPNs. For Cisco, references to pwwn refer to the WWPN. For QLogic,
references to WWN refer to the WWPN.
