Chapter 16 Configuring Inter-VSAN Routing
Configuring an IVR Topology
•
The autonomous fabric ID (AF ID) which distinguishes two VSANs that are logically and physically
separate, but have the same VSAN number. SAN-OS Release 1.3(1) supports only one AF ID.
The use of a single AF ID does not allow for segmented VSANs in an inter-VSAN topology.
Ensure to repeat this configuration in all IVR-enabled switches.
Transit VSANs are deduced based on your configuration The IVR feature does not have an explicit
transit-VSAN configuration. In the example used above, VSAN 2 is the transit VSAN between VSANs
1 and 3.
Creating IVR Zones and Zone Sets
To create IVR zones or zone sets, perform the following steps:
Step 1
From the Fabric Manager, choose
Zone > IVR (Inter VSAN Routing) > Edit Full Database on Switch
.
The Edit VSANxxx Local Full Zones window displays for the VSAN you selected.
Step 2
Right-click the zone set or zone for that VSAN and choose
Insert
to add a zone set or zone.
If you are adding a zone set, you can activate it by clicking the
Activate
button. This configuration is
distributed to the other switches in the network fabric.
Note
When you confirm the activate operation, the current running configuration is saved to the
startup configuration. This permanently saves any changes made to the running configuration
(not just zoning changes).
Note
Some time zones beginning with prefix ‘IVRZ’ and a zone set with name ‘nozoneset’ appear in
logical view. The zones with prefix ‘IVRZ’ are IVR zones which get appended to regular active
zones. The prefix ‘IVRZ’ is appended to active IVR zones by the system. Similarly the zone set
with name ‘nozonset’ is an IVR active zone set created by system if no active zone set is
available for that VSAN and if ‘ivrZoneSetActivateForce’ flag is enabled on switch. In
server.properties file you can set the property zone.ignoreIVRZones to true or false to either hide
or view IVR zones as part of regular active zones.
Note
Do not create a zone with prefix ‘IVRZ’ or a zone set with name ‘nozonset’. These names are
used by the system for identifying IVR zones.
Creating Additional IVR Zones and Zone Sets
To create additional zones and zone sets, follow these steps:
Step 1
With the Zone > IVR (Inter VSAN Routing) > Edit Full Database on Switch dialog open, right-click the
Zones folder and choose
Insert
from the pop-up menu.
Step 2
Enter the zone name in the dialog box that appears and click
OK
to add the zone.
The zone is automatically added to the zone database.
