Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
Implementing Zoning
Zoning can be implemented and administered from any switch in the fabric that
has a Zoning license enabled. When a change in the configuration is saved,
enabled, or disabled per the transactional model, it is automatically distributed to
all switches in the fabric.
Create and Enable a Basic Zone Configuration
To create and enable a basic zone configuration, follow the procedure below. For a
detailed explanation see “
Detailed Zone Configuration Procedures
” on page 30.
1.
Create a zone:
zoneCreate “zonename”, “ports”
2.
Create a zone configuration:
cfgCreate “cfgname”, “zonename”
3.
Enable the zone configuration:
cfgEnable “cfgname”
The following is an example of the above procedure:
zonecreate “zone_1”, “1,0;1,2”
cfgcreate “zonecfg_1”, “zone_1”
cfgenable “zonecfg_1”
Detailed Zone Configuration Procedures
To implement zoning, perform these procedures, as described in the sections
below.
1.
Review current configurations, if any.
2.
Create an alias.
3.
Define the zone.
4.
Define the zone configuration.
5.
Analyze the zone configuration.
6.
Enable the zone configuration.
7.
Review the enabled configuration.
Note:
Each zone object defined—alias, zone, zone configuration—must have a unique
name; that is, an alias cannot have the same name as another alias, zone, or zone
configuration.
