Chapter 1 Configuring and Managing Zones
Zone Sets
• 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.
• 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 switch supports a maximum of 2048 aliases per VSAN.
Creating FC Aliases
To create an alias, perform this task:
The following example shows how to configure different types of member alias:
switch(config)# fcalias name AliasSample vsan 3
switch(config-fcalias)# member type value
pWWN example:
switch(config-fcalias)# member pwwn 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab
fWWN example:
switch(config-fcalias)# member fwwn 10:01:10:01:10:ab:cd:ef
FC ID example:
switch(config-fcalias)# member fcid 0x222222
Domain ID example:
switch(config-fcalias)# member domain-id 2 portnumber 23
Local sWWN interface example:
switch(config-fcalias)# member interface fc2/1
Remote sWWN interface example:
switch(config-fcalias)# member interface fc2/1 swwn 20:00:00:05:30:00:4a:de
Domain ID interface example:
switch(config-fcalias)# member interface fc2/1 domain-id 25
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# fcalias name AliasSample vsan
vsan-id
switch(config-fcalias)#
Configures an alias name (AliasSample).
Step 3
switch(config-fcalias)# member type value
pWWN example:
switch(config-fcalias)# | pwwn pwwn-id
fWWN example:
switch(config-fcalias)# | fwwn fwwn-id
FC ID example:
switch(config-fcalias)# | fcid 0x222222
Domain ID example:
switch(config-fcalias)# | domain-id domain-id
portnumber number
Local sWWN interface example:
switch(config-fcalias)# | interface type
slot/port
[ swwn | domain-id 25 ]
Configures a member for the specified fcalias
(AliasSample) based on the type (pWWN,
fabric pWWN, FC ID, domain ID, or
interface) and value specified.
Note Multiple members can be specified on
multiple lines.
