zone 2 zone Performs specific zone operations and manages Traffic Isolation (TI) Zones. Synopsis To manage zone objects: zone --copy [source_AD.] source_zone_object [dest_zone_object][-f] zone --expunge "zone_object" zone --validate [-f | [-m mode] ["zone_object"]] To create and manage traffic Isolation zones: zone --create -t objecttype [-o optlist] name -p portlist zone --add [-o optlist] name -p portlist zone --remove name -p portlist zone --delete | activate | deactivate -p portlist zone --show [name] zone --help Description The zone command supports two types of operations: specific zone operations and creation/management of Traffic Isolation Zones. Use the --copy, --expunge, and --validate options to perform specific zoning operations. These commands follow a batched-transaction model. Use the --create, --add,--remove, --delete, --activate, --deactivate, and --show options to manage Traffic Isolation (TI) Zones. TI zones control the flow of inter-switch traffic by provisioning certain E_ports to carry only traffic flowing from a specific set of source ports. The provision (a.k.a TI Zone) is part of the defined zone configuration and will not appear in the effective zone configuration. A Maximum of 255 TI Zones can be created in one fabric. Notes TI zones are not supported in fabrics involving switches running firmware versions preceding Fabric OS v6.0. However, the existence of a TI Zone in such a fabric is backward compatible and does not disrupt fabric operation in switches running older firmware versions. However, a TI Zone with members belonging to switches that run FOS v6.0 or later. The current zone commands zoneCreate, aliCreate, cfgCreate, etc., can not be used to manage TI Zones. The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Operands This command takes as an operand an action and its associated arguments. When executed without operands, the command displays the usage. 1. Commands for performing specific zone operations: --copy Copies all the specified zone objects from the source_AD into the current AD. The current AD transaction buffer will be used for this operation. The following operands are optional: Fabric OS Command Reference 679 53-1000599-01
