Usage guidelines
Only FCF switches and VSANs operating in FCF mode support this command.
Hard zoning takes effect only when the hardware resources are sufficient for deploying zone rules of the
current VSAN. Soft zoning is always in effect.
When the hardware resources are insufficient, the system performs the following operations:
Clears all deployed hardware zone rules to keep the integrity of rules.
•
• Automatically disables hard zoning.
To improve the security for a VSAN, you can enable hard zoning for the VSAN. After hard zoning is
enabled for a VSAN, the system begins to deploy all zone rules of the VSAN.
When soft zoning can meet the access control requirements of a VSAN, you can disable hard zoning for
the VSAN to save the hardware resources. After hard zoning is disabled for a VSAN, the system clears
the hardware zone rules already deployed for the VSAN and stops deploying new zone rules.
In enhanced zoning mode, the switch distributes hard zoning status with other zone data. In basic zoning
mode, you must manually configure hard zoning to ensure consistency across the fabric.
To view the hard zoning status, use the display zone status command.
Do not configure this command when the switch is merging or distributing zones.
