About FC Alias Creation You can assign an alias name and configure an alias member using the following values: • pWWN-The WWN of the N or NL port is in hex format (for example, 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab). • fWWN-The WWN of the fabric port name is in hex format (for example, 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab). • FC ID-The N port ID is in 0xhhhhhh format (for example, 0xce00d1). • Domain ID-The domain ID is an integer from 1 to 239. A mandatory port number of a non-Cisco switch is required to complete this membership configuration. • IPv4 address-The IPv4 address of an attached device is in 32 bits in dotted decimal format along with an optional subnet mask. If a mask is specified, any device within the subnet becomes a member of the specified zone. • IPv6 address-The IPv6 address of an attached device is in 128 bits in colon- (:) separated) hexadecimal format. • Interface-Interface-based zoning is similar to port-based zoning because the switch interface is used to configure the zone. You can specify a switch interface as a zone member for both local and remote switches. To specify a remote switch, enter the remote switch WWN (sWWN) or the domain ID in the particular VSAN. Tip The Cisco NX-OS software supports a maximum of 2048 aliases per VSAN.
