# Class CIM_Zone
extends CIM_ConnectivityCollection

A Zone is a group of Ports, Endpoints, Nodes, Zones, and NamedAddressCollections that are managed collectively by the same domain. The managing domain is indicated by the HostedCollection association. For Fibre Channel, a Zone indicates a set of members that are participating together in the fabric.
