In addition to the zones themselves, zoning includes several components, such as zone members, zone aliases, and zone configurations. These components are referred to as zone objects and are identified as follows: Zones are specified by zone names. Zone members are specified by physical fabric port numbers or worldwide names. See "Zone Members," found later in this chapter, for more information. Zone aliases (symbolic names) are used to simplify zone member administration. See "Zone Aliases," found later in this chapter, for more information. Zone configurations are sets of zones configured during zone specification. You can select which zone configuration is in effect or disable a zone configuration at any time. You can designate a zone member by using one of the following notations: Physical fabric port number Worldwide name Use a pair of decimal numbers, separated by a comma, to specify a physical fabric port number. For example, specifies port 6 on domain 2. The domain ID is auto- matically assigned at the time the fabric is configured by the fabric controller. When you specify a zone member by a physical fabric port number, all devices connected to that port are in the zone. If the port is an arbitrated loop, then all loop devices are also in the zone. Use an eight-hex number separated by colons to specify a worldwide name, such as . A worldwide name provides no field information to the zone. The eight bytes are simply compared with the port names presented by a device in a login frame (FLOGI or PLOGI). When you specify a zone member by a port name, only that single device port is recognized by the zone. The type of zone members used to define a zone may be mixed, like the following: 2,5; 2,7; 10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a 2-2 Dell PowerVault 5xF Switches Zoning Guide
