zone 2 zone Synopsis Description Performs specific zone operations, manages Traffic Isolation (TI) Zones, and Frame Redirect (RD) Zones. zone --help To perform specific zone operations: 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] To perform specific Frame Redirect (RD) zone operations: zone --rdcreate host_wwn target_wwn vi_wwn vt_wwn policy FCR_supported zone --rddelete name The zone command supports three types of operations: specific zone operations, creation/management of Traffic Isolation Zones, and creation and management of Frame Redirect (RD) Zones. 1. Use the --copy, --expunge, and --validate options to perform specific zoning operations. These commands follow a batched-transaction model. 2. 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 does not appear in the effective zone configuration. A Maximum of 255 TI Zones can be created in one fabric. TI zones over FCR provide the ability to lock down a request and corresponding response to the same VE_Port tunnel for a given pair of devices in two separate fabrics. TI over FCR has two working parts: - TI within edge fabric routes traffic between a real device and a Proxy device to a specified EX_Port. - TI within backbone fabric locks down the route within the backbone fabric based on EX_Ports and devices involved. TI zones over FCR is supported only on switches running Fabric OS v6.1.0 or later. Participating devices need to be LSAN Zoned to enforce TI. Fabric OS Command Reference 699 53-1000599-02
