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 name zone --activate name zone --deactivate name zone --show [name] To perform specific Frame Redirect (RD) zone operations: zone --rdcreate [host_wwn] [target_wwn] [vi_wwn] [vt_wwn] [policy] [FCR | noFCR] 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 interswitch 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.
