You can configure the LSAN zones appropriately in the edge fabric, at the same time retaining all the FC router features and characteristics such as any-to-any connectivity. You can have more than 10,000 LSAN devices in the entire backbone fabric or metaSAN. Prior to Fabric OS 7.4.0, every FC router switch in the backbone fabric maintains the entire LSAN database having all LSAN zone entries in all edge fabrics subject to the maximum LSAN zone limit. In many cases, the device sharing is done between a few edge fabrics and not with all the edge fabrics that are connected in the backbone. The location embedded LSAN zones feature allows you to specify or embed the remote fabric ID in the LSAN zone names that share devices. The FC router uses the location information embedded in the LSAN zone name to store only relevant LSAN zone entries. The advantage is that an individual FC router stores less LSAN zone entries and allows you to configure more LSAN zones per FC router which helps to exceed the maximum LSAN zone limit across the backbone fabric. NOTE In a backbone fabric having a mix of Fabric OS 7.4.0 and previous releases, there can be mismatch in location embedded LSAN zones in FC routers running Fabric OS pre-v7.4.0. Hence, such mixed combination is not recommended for this feature. With location embedded LSAN zones, the FC router stores less LSAN zones, resulting in improved zone lookup during pair matching.

Location embedded LSAN zones
Starting with Fabric OS 7.4.0, location embedded LSAN zones help to increase the limit of LSAN zones in the backbone fabric by
providing a mechanism to store only the applicable LSAN zones in each FC router. You can configure the LSAN zones appropriately in
the edge fabric, at the same time retaining all the FC router features and characteristics such as any-to-any connectivity. You can have
more than 10,000 LSAN devices in the entire backbone fabric or metaSAN.
Prior to Fabric OS 7.4.0, every FC router switch in the backbone fabric maintains the entire LSAN database having all LSAN zone entries
in all edge fabrics subject to the maximum LSAN zone limit. In many cases, the device sharing is done between a few edge fabrics and
not with all the edge fabrics that are connected in the backbone. The location embedded LSAN zones feature allows you to specify or
embed the remote fabric ID in the LSAN zone names that share devices. The FC router uses the location information embedded in the
LSAN zone name to store only relevant LSAN zone entries. The advantage is that an individual FC router stores less LSAN zone entries
and allows you to configure more LSAN zones per FC router which helps to exceed the maximum LSAN zone limit across the
backbone fabric.
NOTE
In a backbone fabric having a mix of Fabric OS 7.4.0 and previous releases, there can be mismatch in location embedded
LSAN zones in FC routers running Fabric OS pre-v7.4.0. Hence, such mixed combination is not recommended for this feature.
With location embedded LSAN zones, the FC router stores less LSAN zones, resulting in improved zone lookup during pair matching.
