Zones
Enable you to partition your fabric into logical groups of devices that can access each other.
These are "regular" or "standard" zones. Unless otherwise specified, all references to zones in
this chapter refer to these regular zones.
Broadcast zones
Control which devices receive broadcast frames. A broadcast zone restricts broadcast packets
to only those devices that are members of the broadcast zone. See
page 244 for more information.
Frame redirection zones
Re-route frames between an initiator and target through a Virtual Initiator and Virtual Target for
special processing or functionality, such as for storage virtualization or encryption. See
Redirection"
on page 78 for more information.
LSAN zones
Provide device connectivity between fabrics without merging the fabrics. See
configuration"
on page 485 for more information.
