In the diagram, which zone(s) represents the hard zone?

A.
Zone 1

B.
Zone 2

C.
Zone 1 and 3

D.
Zone 3

Explanation:
Zone 1 (WWN Zone) = 10:00:00:00:C9:20:DC:82 ; 50:06:04:82:E8:91:2B:9E Zone 2 (Port Zone) = 15,5 ; 15,7
Zone 3 (Mixed Zone) = 10:00:00:00:C9:20:DC:56 ; 15,12 Servers
Storage Array
FC Switch
Switch Domain ID = 15
Port 12
Zoning can be categorized into three types:
Port zoning: It uses the FC addresses of the physical ports to define zones. In port zoning, access
to data is determined by the physical switch port to which a node is connected. The FC address is dynamically assigned when the port logs on to the fabric. Therefore, any change in the fabric configuration affects zoning. Port zoning is also called hard zoning. Although this method is secure, it requires updating of zoning configuration information in the event of fabric reconfiguration.
WWN zoning: It uses World Wide Names to define zones. WWN zoning is also referred to as soft zoning. A major advantage of WWN zoning is its flexibility. It allows the SAN to be re-cabled without reconfiguring the zone information. This is possible because the WWN is static to the node port.
Mixed zoning: It combines the qualities of both WWN zoning and port zoning. Using mixed zoning enables a specific port to be tied to the WWN of a node. Zoning is used in conjunction with LUN masking for controlling server access to storage. However, these are two different activities. Zoning takes place at the fabric level and LUN masking is done at the array level. Zone 1 shown on the slide is WWN zone, zone 2 is port zone and zone 3 is an example of mixed zone.
