LSAN tagging
You can configure two types of tags on an FC router:
•
Enforce tag – Specifies which LSANs are to be enforced in an FC router.
•
Speed tag – Specifies which LSANs are to be imported or exported faster than other LSANs.
You configure the tags using the command line interface. The Management application displays
the tags.
If tags are configured, they are displayed in the LSAN Zoning dialog box. Note that although you can
configure tags on FC routers running Fabric OS versions earlier than 7.2.0, the tags are displayed in
the Management application only if the FC router is running Fabric OS 7.2.0 or later.
When these tags are configured, only LSAN zones that match the configured tags are retrieved
from the edge fabrics and displayed in the LSAN Zoning dialog box.
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for information about configuring these tags.
