Zoning The Ethernet Switch - Quantum PX500 Series Upgrade Instructions

Zoning the Ethernet Switch

Table 3 Recommended
Zoning Example
The Ethernet switch used for connecting multiple TC2201 iSCSI bridges is
capable of being zoned so specific ports can be grouped together as a virtual
independent switch. This capability is used ONLY when multiple libraries
are together in a rack. This allows each library SCB to assign IP addresses to
only the TC2201s within the library and not TC2201s in other libraries For
example, if stacked libraries are in a rack, three independent zones must be
created. 1 zone = library SCB + number of TC2201s installed in the library.
Refer to the installation documentation included with the Ethernet switch for
information on zoning the switch. The following table provides a
recommended zoning example.
