Creating and populating enhanced traffic isolation zones An enhanced traffic isolation zone (TI zone) is a special zone that creates a dedicated path for a specific traffic flow. When an enhanced TI zone is activated, inter-switch traffic from a zone member is directed to E_Ports that are included in the TI zone. Traffic from outside the TI zone is excluded. A maximum of 255 TI zones can be configured. LSAN devices can be added only in TI zones created in the backbone switch. A port may be assigned to more than one enhanced TI zone in a fabric. A port can be part of more than one enhanced TI zone provided following conditions are satisfied: • All the switches in the fabric should have Fabric OS v 6.4 or later. • A port can be assigned to multiple TI Zones that have the same failover state. • The fabric is composed entirely of Condor-2 or GoldenEye-2 switches: Use the following procedure to create and populate an enhanced TI zone. 1. Open the Zone Administration window as described in "Opening the Zone Administration window" on page 121. 2. Under Zoning Modes, select Traffic Isolation Zones. The Traffic Isolation Zones view displays. 3. Click New on the menu bar. The Add TI Zone dialog box displays. 4. Expand the Member Selection List to view the nested elements. 5. Select an element in the Member Selection List that you want to include in your zone. The Add Member button becomes active. 6. Click Add Member to add the zone member. The selected member is moved to the Zone Members window. NOTE All switches in the fabric must be running Fabric OS v6.4.0 or later and all the ports in the TI zones must be in the same failover mode. 130 Web Tools Administrator's Guide 53-1001772-01
