Name Server Zones allow the division of the fabric into as many as 16 zones
that define which ports receive Name Server information. A particular port
may be defined in one or more of these Name Server Zones. A port will
receive Name Server information for all ports in the same Name Server Zone
(or zones) in-which the port is defined. If Hard Zones are enabled, Name
