Configuring Zones A disadvantage of port zoning is that someone may rearrange cable connections to ports (because of port failures or other reasons) and inadvertently allow devices to communicate that should not have access to each other. Note: If a managed product's Domain ID changes, you must reconfigure all zones that contained the managed product's port as a zone member. We recommend assigning unique Preferred Domain IDs to each switch in the fabric. You can make these assignments using the EWS Configure page, Switch, Parameters tabs to change the Preferred Domain IDs. Default Zone A default zone consists of all devices that have not been configured as members of a zone in a currently-active zone set. The following are some important points to remember about zone sets: ■ You can enable or disable the default zone separately from the active zone set by choosing the Zoning option from the Configure menu. Enabling the default zone allows all devices and ports not configured as members of the active zone set to communicate. If the default zone is disabled, these ports and devices cannot communicate. ■ When no zone set is activated, then all devices are considered to be in the default zone. ■ If a zone set is active, then all connected devices that are not included as members of a zone in the active zone set are included in the default zone. Zone Sets A zone set is a group of zones that you can activate or deactivate as a single entity across all managed products in either a single switch or a multiswitch fabric. Only one zone set can be active at one time. Devices that are members of zones in the zone set can only communicate with members of zones in the same zone set. However, devices can be included as members of more than one zone set. By activating a zone set, you are making all zones in the set active. Refer to Table 3 on page 64 for details on the number of zones and zone members that you can configure in a zone set and the number of zone sets that you can configure. 62 Embedded Web Server User Guide

Configuring Zones

Embedded Web Server User Guide

A disadvantage of port zoning is that someone may rearrange cable connections to

ports (because of port failures or other reasons) and inadvertently allow devices to

communicate that should not have access to each other.

Note:

If a managed product’s Domain ID changes, you must reconfigure all zones that

contained the managed product’s port as a zone member. We recommend assigning

unique Preferred Domain IDs to each switch in the fabric. You can make these

assignments using the EWS

Configure

page

, Switch

Parameters

tabs to change the

Preferred Domain IDs.

Default Zone

A default zone consists of all devices that have not been configured as members of

a zone in a currently-active zone set. The following are some important points to

remember about zone sets:

■

You can enable or disable the default zone separately from the active zone set

by choosing the

Zoning

option from the

Configure

menu. Enabling the

default zone allows all devices and ports not configured as members of the

active zone set to communicate. If the default zone is disabled, these ports and

devices cannot communicate.

■

When no zone set is activated, then all devices are considered to be in the

default zone.

■

If a zone set is active, then all connected devices that are not included as

members of a zone in the active zone set are included in the default zone.

Zone Sets

A zone set is a group of zones that you can activate or deactivate as a single entity

across all managed products in either a single switch or a multiswitch fabric. Only

one zone set can be active at one time. Devices that are members of zones in the

zone set can only communicate with members of zones in the same zone set.

However, devices can be included as members of more than one zone set. By

activating a zone set, you are making all zones in the set active.

Refer to

Table 3

on page 64 for details on the number of zones and zone members

that you can configure in a zone set and the number of zone sets that you can

configure.
