Cisco Nexus 5500 Series NX-OS - Creating FC Aliases; Creating FC Aliases Example

• 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.
The switch supports a maximum of 2048 aliases per VSAN.Tip
