> # About Read-Only Zones

> By default, an initiator has both read and write access to the target's media when they are members of the same Fibre Channel zone. The read-only zone feature allows members to have only read access to the media within a read-only Fibre Channel zone.

> You can also configure LUN zones as read-only zones. Any zone can be identified as a read-only zone. By default all zones have read-write permission unless explicitly configured as a read-only zone.
