Default Zone
Each member of a fabric (in effect a device attached to an Nx port) can belong to any zone. If a member is
not part of any active zone, it is considered to be part of the default zone. Therefore, if no zoneset is active in
the fabric, all devices are considered to be in the default zone. Even though a member can belong to multiple
zones, a member that is part of the default zone cannot be part of any other zone. The switch determines
whether a port is a member of the default zone when the attached port comes up.
Unlike configured zones, default zone information is not distributed to the other switches in the fabric.
Note
Traffic can either be permitted or denied among members of the default zone. This information is not distributed
to all switches; it must be configured in each switch.
When the switch is initialized for the first time, no zones are configured and all members are considered to
be part of the default zone. Members are not permitted to talk to each other.
Note
Configure the default zone policy on each switch in the fabric. If you change the default zone policy on one
switch in a fabric, be sure to change it on all the other switches in the fabric.
