zoning option in Cisco UCS Manager is whether the default zone in a VSAN (nodes not assigned to any zone)
permits or denies access among its members.
When default zoning is enabled, all traffic is permitted among members of the default zone.
When default zoning is disabled, all traffic is denied among members of the default zone.
Default zoning is applied on a per-VSAN basis. You cannot enable default zoning at the fabric level.
Default zoned configurations are not recommended for production deployments, which must always use
direct connect Fibre Channel topologies with upstream MDS or Nexus 5000 switches.
