zone name (configuration mode)
Use the show wwn switch command to retrieve the sWWN. If you do not provide a sWWN, the software
automatically uses the local sWWN.
Broadcast frames are sent to all Nx ports.
If any NL port attached to an FL port shares a broadcast zone with the source of the
broadcast frame,
then the frames are broadcast to all devices in the loop.
