Autozone Example Scenario
Let us consider a topology where two devices—Initiator 1 and Target 1—are logged on to a Cisco MDS
switch. We configure the Autozone feature on the switch and verify the zone configuration for these devices.
Then, we introduce two new devices—Initiator 2 and Target 2—to this network and verify if they are
automatically configured in the zone.
