Single-Switch Zoning

The simplest zoning configuration is to place each port into a single zone, so that zones are separate

from each other as shown in Figure 3-13.

In Figure 3-13, zone 1 includes ports 1, 3, and 4, while zone 2 includes ports 2 and 5. Devices on ports

1, 3, and 4 have direct access to each other and devices on ports 2 and 5 have direct access to each

other; however, devices 1, 3, and 4 are separated from devices 2 and 5.

Caution: Clearing the Zoning Active check box will deactivate all zones, which may degrade

system performance or compromise security.
