Traffic Isolation Zoning over FC routers 12 TI zones within a backbone fabric A TI zone within a backbone fabric is used to route traffic within the backbone fabric through a particular ISL. For example, in Figure 40, a TI zone is set up in the backbone fabric to ensure that traffic between EX_Ports "1,1" and "2,1" is routed through VE_Ports "1,4" and "2,7".

(You can use the portShow command to obtain the port WWN.) Port WWNs should be used only in TI zones within a backbone fabric and should not be used in other TI zones. Using D,I and port WWN notation, the members of the TI zone in Figure 40 are: • 1,1 (EX_Port for FC router 1) • 1,4 (VE_Port for FC router 1) • 2,7 (VE_Port for FC router 2) • 2,1 (EX_Port for FC router 2) • 10:00:00:00:00:01:00:00 (Port WWN for the host) • 10:00:00:00:00:02:00:00 (Port WWN for target 1) • 10:00:00:00:00:03:00:00 (Port WWN for target 2) Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 355 53-1002745-02
