1. A computer-implemented method for handling soft zoning violations, the method comprising:
assigning a first target device and an endpoint device that is coupled to a switch port of a Fibre Channel (FC) switch to one or more zones in a soft zoning environment;
in response to the endpoint device logging into the FC switch, obtaining sampled traffic that originates at the endpoint device and ingresses at the switch port;
obtaining from the sampled traffic a source identifier associated with the endpoint device and a destination identifier associated with a target device; and
using the source identifier and the destination identifier to determine that the sampled traffic comprises a second traffic that is intended for a second target device that has not been assigned to the one or more zones, performing one or more actions to restrict the second traffic.
