Frame Redirection
4
FIGURE 9 Single host and target
Figure 9 demonstrates the flow of Frame Redirection traffic. A frame starts at the host with a
destination to the target. The port where the appliance is attached to the host switch acts as the
virtual initiator and the port where the appliance is attached to the target switch is the virtual
target.
Creating a frame redirect zone
The first time the zone –-rdcreate command is run, the following zone objects are created by
default:
• The base zone object, "red_______base".
• The redirect (RD) zone configuration, "r_e_d_i_r_c__fg".
Frame redirect zones are not supported with D or I initiator target zones.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the zone
–-rdcreate command.
3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the frame redirect zones to the defined configuration.
Example of creating a frame redirect zone
The following example creates a redirect zone, given a host (10:10:10:10:10:10:10:10), target
(20:20:20:20:20:20:20:20), virtual initiator (30:30:30:30:30:30:30:30), and virtual target
(40:40:40:40:40:40:40:40):
switch:admin>zone --rdcreate 10:10:10:10:10:10:10:10 20:20:20:20:20:20:20:20 \
30:30:30:30:30:30:30:30 40:40:40:40:40:40:40:40 restartable noFCR
Deleting a frame redirect zone
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the zone
--rdDelete command to remove the base redirect zone object,
"red_______base".
When the base zone is removed, the redirect zone configuration "r_e_d_i_r_c__fg” is removed
as well.
3. Enter the cfgSave command to save changes to the defined configuration.
Example of deleting a frame redirect zone
switch:admin> zone --rddelete \
