• The domain identification (ID) and physical port number of the director port to which the device is attached. If arbitrated loop devices are included by configuring a Brocade switch in a zone, the zone must be configured by WWN (zoning by port number is not supported by the switch). CAUTION If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the director fiber-optic cable configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone. A zone contains a set of attached devices that can access each other. Zones are grouped into zone sets. A zone set is a group of zones that is enabled (activated) or disabled across all directors in a multiswitch fabric. Only one zone set can be enabled at one time. Zone members are defined and zones or zone sets are created using the HP EFC Manager application. The director supports the following zoning features: • Zone members The maximum number of members configurable for a zone is 4,096. • Number of zones The maximum number of configurable zones in a zone set is 1,023 (1,024 including the default zone). • Number of zone sets The maximum number of configurable zones sets is 64. • Active zone set The zone set that is active across all directors in a multiswitch fabric. For the active zone set: - When a specific zone set is activated, that zone set replaces the active zone set. - If the active zone set is disabled, all devices attached to the fabric become members of the default zone. - All devices not included as members of the active zone set are included in the default zone.

The domain identification (ID) and physical port number of the director port to which

AUTION
If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the director fiber-optic
cable configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or
exclude a device from a zone.
A zone contains a set of attached devices that can access each other. Zones are grouped
into zone sets. A zone set is a group of zones that is enabled (activated) or disabled across
all directors in a multiswitch fabric. Only one zone set can be enabled at one time. Zone
members are defined and zones or zone sets are created using the HP EFC Manager
application. The director supports the following zoning features:
•
Zone members
The maximum number of members configurable for a zone is 4,096.
•
Number of zones
The maximum number of configurable zones in a zone set is 1,023 (1,024 including the
default zone).
•
Number of zone sets
The maximum number of configurable zones sets is 64.
•
Active zone set
The zone set that is active across all directors in a multiswitch fabric. For the active
zone set:
–
When a specific zone set is activated, that zone set replaces the active zone set.
–
If the active zone set is disabled, all devices attached to the fabric become members
of the default zone.
–
All devices not included as members of the active zone set are included in the default
zone.
