Q-Logic 16HA Manuel D’Utilisation

•

Perform Trace operations to follow selected operations through the selected 
chassis

•

Read and write memory locations on the selected chassis

•

Update the Flash memory on the selected chassis

•

Divide the ports or devices into zones for more efficient and secure commu-
nication among functionally grouped nodes.

Hard zones allow the division of the fabric (one or more Switch chassis) into 
as many as 16 fabric-wide zones that define the ports that may communicate 
with each other. A port may communicate with any other port that is in the 
same hard zone as it is defined. If hard zones cross chassis boundaries in a 
multi-stage topology, the interconnecting T_Port, or ports must be placed in 
the same hard zone that they interconnect. Refer to 

. A particular F, FL, TL, or T_Port may be placed in only one hard 

zone (no overlapping hard zones). If hard zones are enabled, broadcast zones 
and Name Server zones do not cross the defined hard zone boundaries.

Broadcast zones allow the division of the fabric into as many as 16 zones that 
define the ports that receive Broadcasts. A particular F, FL, or TL_Port may 
be placed in one or more of these broadcast zones. A port will broadcast to all 
ports in the same broadcast zone (or zones) in-which the port is defined. If 
hard zones are enabled, broadcast zones do not cross the defined hard zone 
boundaries. Broadcast zones may overlap each other. T_Ports are not affected 
by broadcast zones.

Name server zoning by port allows the division of the fabric into as many as 
256 zones that define the ports that receive Name Server information. A 
particular F, FL, or TL_Port may be defined in one or more of Name Server 
zones. A port will receive Name Server information for all zones of which it 
is a member. If hard zones are enabled, Name Server zones do not cross the 
defined hard zone boundaries. Name server zones may overlap each other. 
T_Ports are not affected by Name Server zones.
