NOTE
You can use Typical Zoning for dual-capable devices (devices that are configured to function both
as initiators and targets), but in Typical Zoning mode, these devices are recognized as targets by
EZSwitchSetup and are rejected if attached to a host port.

Custom Zoning allows you to customize which initiators access which targets, and creates a
device-based zoning scheme based on your choices. The HBAs and storage devices should
already be connected to the switch. Custom Zoning provides a device accessibility matrix for you
to modify; it then automatically creates zones based on that matrix. Custom Zoning supports only
single-switch fabrics. If you select this option, when you click Next, the EZSwitchSetup switch
configuration wizard closes and the EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager application opens.

Advanced Zoning allows you complete customization of your zoning and should be used if you
are familiar with zoning and zoning practices. If you select this option, when you click Next, the
EZSwitchSetup switch configuration wizard closes and the Advanced Management application
(Web Tools) opens. For specific information about using Web Tools for zoning, refer to the Web
Tools Administrator's Guide
.

FIGURE 14 Select Zoning window

Typical Zoning is the default and the following procedure directs you to select Typical Zoning. When
you select Typical Zoning, the EZSwitchSetup switch configuration wizard automatically configures
the zones for you and shows you how to connect the devices to the switch. You can change the
zoning configuration later, as described in

Zoning management
