Command Modes Configuration mode. Command History Release 3.1(1) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines When a device alias is configured in basic mode, which is the default mode, all the applications operate like 3.0 switches. For example, when you attempt to configure the device aliases, immediately the device alias are expanded to a PWWN. This operation continues until the mode is changed to enhanced. Whena device alias is configured in enhanced mode, all the applications accept a device alias name in its native format, instead of expanding the device alias to a PWWN, the device alias name is stored in the configuration and distributed in its native device alias format. To use enhanced mode, all switches in the fabric must be running in the Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.1(1) or later, or NX-OS 4.1(1b) later. Note Enhanced mode, or native device alias based configurations are not accepted in interop mode. VSANs. IVR zoneset activation will fail in interop mode VSANs if the corresponding zones have native device alias-based members Examples The following example shows how to configure the device alias in enhanced mode: switch# config terminal switch(config)# device-alias mode enhanced switch(config)# Related Commands Command device-alias commit Description Commits changes to the active device alias database.
