Configuring And Managing Zones - Cisco DS-C9216I-K9 Configuration Manual

Configuring and Managing Zones

Zoning enables you to set up access control between storage devices or user groups. If you have
administrator privileges in your fabric, you can create zones to increase network security and to prevent
data loss or corruption. Zoning is enforced by examining the source-destination ID field. This chapter
