Zoning configurations

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
Zoning configurations
The Zone Administration window is where all of the zoning tasks are performed.
When performing zoning tasks for switches in a mixed fabric—that is, a fabric containing two or
more switches running different fabric operating systems—you should use the switch with the
highest Fabric OS level. Refer to “Best practices for zoning” on page 138 for more
recommendations about zoning.
Opening the Zone Administration window
You cannot open the Zone Administration window from AD255 (physical fabric).
Use the following procedure to open a Zone Adminstration window.
1. Select a switch from the Fabric Tree.
2. Click Zone Admin in the Manage section of the Tasks menu.
The Zone Administration dialog box displays.
Setting the default zoning mode
The default zoning mode has two options:
All Access—All devices within the fabric can communicate with all other devices.
No Access—Devices in the fabric cannot access any other device in the fabric.
Web Tools supports default zoning on switches running firmware v5.1.0 or later. Default zoning on
legacy switches (switches running firmware versions prior to v 5.1.0) are not supported. Legacy
switches can use default zoning; however, they cannot manipulate the default zone or default
configuration.
NOTE
To use Admin Domains, you must set the default zoning mode to No Access prior to setting up the
Admin Domains. To use the Admin Domain feature, the EGM license must be enabled on the switch;
otherwise, access to this feature is denied. You cannot change the default zoning mode to All Access
if user-specified Admin Domains are present in the fabric.
Use the following procedure to set the default zoning mode.
1. Open the Zone Administration window (refer to “Opening the Zone Administration window” on
page 121).
2. Select Zoning Actions > Set Default Mode, and then select the access mode.
Zoning management
You can monitor and manage basic and traffic isolation zoning through the Web Tools Zone
Administration. The information in the Zone Administration window is collected from the selected
switch.
