Explanation
Zones in a Fibre Channel VSAN act as traffic isolation boundaries that restrict all types of fabric communication to authorized zone members only.
Common mistakes.
- A. Zones are not configured at the fabric core specifically - zone configuration is managed by the zone server distributed across the fabric and can be administered from any switch in the VSAN.
- B. Devices such as HBAs and storage targets can belong to multiple zones simultaneously, allowing flexible many-to-many access policies without restriction to a single zone.
- D. Zone membership is not limited to ports - zones can include WWNs, FC aliases, IP addresses, and symbolic node names, making this definition both technically incomplete and additionally incorrect due to the typo of 'sports' instead of 'ports'.
