Zoning

Dell Networking OS supports the zoning configurations for Fabric FCF Port mode operation.

In FCF Port mode, the fcoe-map fabric map-name has the default Zone mode set to deny. This setting denies all the fabric connections unless included in an active zoneset. To change this setting, use the default-zone-allow command. Changing this setting to all allows all the fabric connections without zoning.

Zoning is a mechanism to ensure only the nodes that are part of a zone can communicate with each other. Zoning prevents unauthorized access of storage assets. A zone consists of members which are nodes that the adapter address, fabric address, interface, or alias specifies. S5000 supports using World Wide Port Name (WWPN), Fibre Channel ID (FC-ID), or alias as members of a zone.
  • WWPN: End device's port WWN name.
  • FC-ID: Switch assigned 24-bit device FC address.
  • Alias: User-defined name of a zone member.
  • NOTE: Dell Networking OS does not support using WWNN or Domain/Port as members of a zone.
