NOTE
A Network OS fabric supports zoning only if all devices in the fabric are running Network OS v2.1.0
or later.
NOTE
Zone objects based on physical port number or port ID (D,I ports) are not supported in Network OS
fabrics.
Types of zones
The following types of zones are supported:
• Standard zones
Enable you to partition your fabric into logical groups of devices that can access each other.
These are “regular” or “standard” zones. Unless otherwise specified, all references to zones
refer to these standard zones.
• Frame redirection zones
Reroute frames between an initiator and target through a Virtual Initiator and Virtual Target for
special processing or functionality, such as for storage virtualization or encryption. Refer to
“Redirection zones” on page 1012 for more information.
