Enhanced TI zones are supported only if the following conditions are met:
•
Every switch must be one of the previously listed supported platforms.
•
Every switch must be running Fabric OS 6.4.0 or later.
If the fabric contains a switch running an earlier version of Fabric OS, you cannot create an
enhanced TI zone.
The failover mode must be the same for each enhanced TI zone to which a port belongs.
You cannot merge a down-level switch into a fabric containing enhanced TI zones, and you cannot
merge a switch with enhanced TI zones defined into a fabric containing switches that do not
support ETIZ.
Configuring Traffic Isolation zoning
The following procedure provides an overview of the steps you must perform to configure Traffic
Isolation zoning.
Note that for any zoning-related procedure, changes to a zone database are not saved until you

are saved.
