Zone Enforcement
Zoning is enforced by the Simple Name Server (SNS) and Zoning does not
change the SNS protocol. Host device drivers query SNS using existing
commands and have no knowledge that Zoning is in effect. If no zone
configuration is in effect, then responses to SNS queries are based on all
Fabric connected devices. If a zone configuration is in effect, then responses to
SNS queries contain information about only those devices that are in the
requestor’s zone.
