Best practices for zoning
The following are recommendations for using zoning:
• Always zone using the latest Fabric OS-level switch.
Switches with earlier Fabric OS versions do not have the capability to view all the functionality that a
newer Fabric OS provides as functionality is backwards-compatible but not forward-compatible.
• Zone using the core switch versus an edge switch.
• Zone using a director over a switch.
A director has more resources to handle zoning changes and implementations.
• Zone on the switch you connect to when bringing up Web Tools (the proxy switch).
