VSAN (Virtual Storage
Area Networks) Virtual Storage Area Networks (VSANs) are logical fabrics formed as subsets of
physical FC (Fibre Channel) switch networks. A VSAN is defined as a set of Fx, E and
TE ports-entry/exit, traditional ISL (Inter-switch Link) ports, and trunked ISL ports. TE
ports are ISLs that may be shared between a named set of VSANs. All ports other than
TE ports must be members of exactly one VSAN. On Cisco switches, there is a default
VSAN (VSAN 1) that initially includes all ports, and an isolated VSAN (VSAN 4094)
where ports end up if their owning VSAN is deleted.
