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.
Advanced zoning capabilities specified in the FC-GS-4 and FC-SW-3 standards are provided. You can
use either the existing basic zoning capabilities or the advanced, standards-compliant zoning
capabilities.
