Chapter 16 Configuring Inter-VSAN Routing
Creating IVZs and IVZSs
Configuring and Activating IVZs and IVZSs
IVZ and IVZS names are restricted to 64 alphanumeric characters.
Using the force Option
Use the
force
option to activate the specified IVZS.
Table 16-2
lists the various scenarios with and
without the force option.
Using the
force
option of IVZS activation may cause traffic disruption, even for devices that are not
involved in IVR. For example, if your configuration does not have any active zone sets and the default
zone policy is permit, then an IVZS activation will fail. However, IVZS activation will go through if the
force
option is used. Since zones are created in the edge VSANs corresponding to each IVZ, traffic may
be disrupted in edge VSANs where the default zone policy is permit.
Be sure to repeat this configuration in all border switches participating in the IVR configuration.
Using the Cisco MDS Fabric Manager, you can distribute IVZ configurations to all IVR-capable
switches in the interconnected VSAN network. Refer to the
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager
User Guide
for more information.
Clearing the IVZ Database
Clearing a zone set only erases the configured zone database, not the active zone database.
