About Broadcast Zoning

Note Broadcast zoning is not supported on the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem and the Cisco
Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
You can configure broadcast frames in the basic zoning mode. By default, broadcast zoning is disabled
and broadcast frames are sent to all Nx ports in the VSAN. When enabled, broadcast frames are only
sent to Nx ports in the same zone, or zones, as the sender. Enable broadcast zoning when a host or storage
device uses this feature.
