Zone Sets
Configuring the Default Zone
To permit or deny traffic to members in the default zone using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand a VSAN and then select Default Zone in the Fabric Manager Logical Domains pane.
Step 2 Click the Policies tab in the Information pane.
You see the zone policies information in the Information pane (see Figure 30-22).
Figure 30-22 Default Zone Policies
The active zone set is shown in italic type. After you make changes to the active zone set and before you
activate the changes, the zone set is shown in boldface italic type.
Step 3 In the Default Zone Behaviour field, choose either permit or deny from the drop-down menu.
About FC Alias Creation
You can assign an alias name and configure an alias member using the following values:
• pWWN—The WWN of the N or NL port is in hex format (for example, 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab).
• fWWN—The WWN of the fabric port name is in hex format (for example,
10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab).
• FC ID—The N port ID is in 0xhhhhhh format (for example, 0xce00d1).
• Domain ID—The domain ID is an integer from 1 to 239. A mandatory port number of a non-Cisco
switch is required to complete this membership configuration.
• IPv4 address—The IPv4 address of an attached device is in 32 bits in dotted decimal format along
with an optional subnet mask. If a mask is specified, any device within the subnet becomes a member
of the specified zone.
• IPv6 address—The IPv6 address of an attached device is in 128 bits in colon- (:) separated)
hexadecimal format.
• Interface—Interface-based zoning is similar to port-based zoning because the switch interface is
used to configure the zone. You can specify a switch interface as a zone member for both local and
remote switches. To specify a remote switch, enter the remote switch WWN (sWWN) or the domain
ID in the particular VSAN.
Tip The Cisco NX-OS software supports a maximum of 2048 aliases per VSAN.
