Zoning The director supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other. Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to director fabric ports (F_Ports).
• Fabric A unzoned and Fabric B unzoned—The fabrics join successfully, and the resulting fabric remains unzoned. • Fabric A zoned and Fabric B unzoned—The fabrics join successfully, and fabric B automatically inherits the zoning configuration from fabric A. • Fabric A unzoned and Fabric B zoned—The fabrics join successfully, and fabric A automatically inherits the zoning configuration from fabric B.
Front view Figure 1 shows Director 2/140 components accessible from the front of the director. Component descriptions follow the figure. Front bezel UPM cards (32) Power and system error LEDs CTP cards Figure 1 Director components—front CTP card The Director 2/140 ships with two Control Processor (CTP) cards. The active CTP card initializes and configures the director after power on, and contains the microprocessor and associated logic that coordinate director operation.
Each card faceplate contains a green light emitting diode (LED) that turns O if the card is operational and active, and an amber LED that turns O if the card fails. The LEDs are O on the backup CTP. The amber LED F if beaconing is enabled.
