Explanation:
Types of Zoning
Zoning can be categorized into three types:• Port zoning: Uses the the physical address of switch ports to define zones. In port zoning,
access to node is determined by the physical switch port to which a node is connected. The zone
members are the port identifier (switch domain ID and port number) to which HBA and its targets
(storage devices) are connected. If a node is moved to another switch port in the fabric, port
zoning must be modified to allow the node, in its new port, to participate in its original zone.
However, if an HBA or storage device port fails, an administrator just has to replace the failed
device without changing the zoning configuration.
• WWN zoning: Uses World Wide Names to define zones. The zone members are the unique
WWN addresses of the HBA and its targets (storage devices). A major advantage of WWN zoning
is its flexibility. WWN zoning allows nodes to be moved to another switch port in the fabric and
maintain connectivity to its zone partners without having to modify the zone configuration. This is
possible because the WWN is static to the node port.
• Mixed zoning: Combines the qualities of both WWN zoning and port zoning. Using mixed zoning
enables a specific node port to be tied to the WWN of another node.
Figure in the slide shows the three types of zoning on an FC network.
