Sanbox Switch chassis support fabric-wide zones for all zone types. Broadcast 
Zones and Name Server Zones require no special consideration in a mesh fabric. 
That is, you may assign these zones by port or by device. T_Ports are not zoned.

Hard Zones, however, require zoned T_Port interconnections between chassis 
which contain ports in the same Hard Zone. That is, if a particular Hard Zone is 
distributed across chassis boundaries, each piece of that Hard Zone and its inter-
connecting T_Ports must be assigned to the same Hard Zone number. This makes 
interconnections between pieces of the same Hard Zone much like the interconnec-
tion of chassis.

SANbox switch fabrics support MKII chassis in mesh topologies of up to five 
chassis. All chassis in a SANbox/MKII mesh fabric support only one active T_Port 
between any two chassis, though more may be connected. Hard zoning and Name 
Server zoning by WWN are not supported in SANbox/MKII fabrics.

NOTE:
Also, remember that mixing of topologies is not allowed. If the fabric topology 
is Mesh, then the interconnection of the Hard Zones must also be accom-
plished in Mesh topology.
