HP StorageWorks 2/64 HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x Command Reference Guide (AA - Page 752

This command changes the defined configuration. For the change to be preserved across switch reboots, it must be saved to flash memory using the cfgSave command. For the change to become effective, an appropriate zone configuration must be enabled using the cfgEnable command. NOTE: Use this command to create a broadcast zone. This is a special zone used to specify those nodes that can receive broadcast traffic. Broadcast traffic is usually meant for servers and not for storage devices. This zone must be named broadcast. Only one broadcast zone can exist within a fabric. This type of zone is hardware enforced; the switch controls data transfer to a port. When security mode is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.

View the area numbers for ports using the switchShow command. • Node or port WWN. • QuickLoop AL_PA. • Zone alias name.
