12 Traffic Isolation Zoning over FC routers TI zones within an edge fabric A TI zone within an edge fabric is used to route traffic between a real device and a proxy device through a particular EX_Port. For example, in Figure 39, you can set up a TI zone to ensure that traffic between Host 1 and the proxy target is routed through EX_Port 9. Host 1 Domain 1 Front Domain 3 8 1 9 2 9 10 -1 Host 2 E_Ports EX_Ports -1 = Dedicated Path = Ports in the TI zone FIGURE 39 TI zone in an edge fabric Xlate Domain 4 Proxy Target In the TI zone, when you designate E_Ports between the front and xlate phantom switches, you must use -1 in place of the "I" in the D,I notation. Both the front and xlate domains must be included in the TI zone. Using D,I notation, the members of the TI zone in Figure 39 are: • 1,8 • 1,1 • 3,-1 (E_Port for the front phantom domain) • 4,-1 (E_Port for the xlate phantom domain) NOTE In this configuration the traffic between the front and xlate domains can go through any path between these two domains. The -1 does not identify any specific ISL. To guarantee a specific ISL, you need to set up a TI zone within the backbone fabric. 354 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 53-1002745-02
