Figure 32 shows a fabric with four hardware-enforced zones that don't overlap. Port_Zone1 WWN_Zone1 Port_Zone2 Core Switch WWN_Zone2 Zone Boundaries Figure 32 Hardware-enforced nonoverlapping zones 22.2b(13.2) Figure 33 shows the same fabric components, but with overlapping zones. Port_Zone1 WWN_Zone1 Port_Zone2 Core Switch WWN_Zone2 Zone Boundaries Figure 33 Hardware-enforced overlapping zones 22.3b(13.3) Any zone using a mixed zoning scheme on the 2 Gbps platform relies on name server authentication as well as hardware-assisted (ASIC) authentication, which ensures that any PLOGI/ADISC/PDISC/ACC from an unauthorized device attempting to access a device it is not zoned with is rejected. HP 2Gb switches always deploy the hardware assist, in any zone configuration (see Figure 34 and Figure 35).
