Zoning is hardware enforced only on a switch port or device that is a member of no more than 8 zones whose combined
membership does not exceed 64. Zoning is hardware enforced on a switch port if the number of logged-in devices plus the
number of zone members with access to that port is 64 or less. If these requirements are not met, the port implements soft
zoning.
