Fabric zones and QuickLoop zones are independent of each other; both types of zones can co-exist in the same zone configuration. Hosts in a QuickLoop can only see targets contained within a QuickLoop. Zoning allows devices from multiple QuickLoops to be added to the definition for a fabric zone. Even an identical AL_PA from two different QuickLoops can be configured under a fabric zone. Zoning can correctly direct traffic to the different devices and provide additional control over access to QuickLoop devises. Fabric devices in a zoned fabric can only access QuickLoop (and fabric) devices that are in the same zone. Zones can be created within QuickLoops and can also be used to partition QuickLoops. This creates QuickLoop zones (as opposed to fabric zones), whose members are identified by either physical port number or AL_PA.

Introducing QuickLoop

Fabric zones and QuickLoop zones are independent of each other; both
types of zones can co-exist in the same zone configuration. Hosts in a
QuickLoop can only see targets contained within a QuickLoop. Zoning
allows devices from multiple QuickLoops to be added to the definition for a
fabric zone. Even an identical AL_PA from two different QuickLoops can
be configured under a fabric zone. Zoning can correctly direct traffic to the
different devices and provide additional control over access to QuickLoop
devises. Fabric devices in a zoned fabric can only access QuickLoop (and
fabric) devices that are in the same zone. Zones can be created within
QuickLoops and can also be used to partition QuickLoops. This creates
QuickLoop zones (as opposed to fabric zones), whose members are
identified by either physical port number or AL_PA.
