Hardware-enforced overlapping zones
Any zone using both WWNs and domain, port entries on the HP StorageWorks 2-Gbit/sec platform
relies on Name Server authentication as well as hardware-assisted (ASIC) authentication, which ensures
that any PLOGI/ADISC/PDISC/ACC from an unauthorized device attempting to access a device it is not
zoned with is rejected. HP StorageWorks 2-Gbit/sec switches always deploy the hardware assist, in any
zone configuration (see
