About the Fabric Assist Tab
Use the Fabric Assist tab to create and manage Fabric Assist zones. Fabric Assist
is a means of allowing private hosts to communicate with public targets across a
switched fabric. Fabric Assist also allows private hosts to communicate with
public targets that are not resident in the same switched fabric.
Requirement: Creating a Fabric Zone requires a fabric host.
The Fabric Assist tab is not available if you selected View > AL_PA Zoning.
