DESCRIPTION
The
zone
command supports three types of operations: specific zone operations, management of Traffic
Isolation Zones, and management of Frame Redirect (RD) Zones.
1. Manage Zoning Operations
Use the
--copy
,
--expunge
, and
--validate
options to perform specific zoning operations. These
commands follow a batched-transaction model.
2. Manage Traffic Isolation (TI) Zones
Use the
--create
,
--add
,
--remove
,
--delete
,
--activate
,
--deactivate
, and
--show
options to manage
Traffic Isolation 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.
