Step
2. Enter VSAN view.
3. Configure a zoning mode.

Configuring the Pairwise feature

This feature can be configured only in enhanced zoning mode.
This feature allows a member to access only members with a different role in the same zone. A member
with both roles can access both initiator members and target members.
After you disable this feature for a zone, all members in the zone can access each other, regardless of
member roles.
Both basic zoning and enhanced zoning support this feature.
To configure the Pairwise feature:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VSAN view.
3. Enter zone view.
4. Configure the Pairwise
feature.

Configuring zone aliases

You can configure a maximum of 4000 zone aliases for all VSANs on a switch.
You can specify members of a zone alias by using their FC addresses, pWWNs, or fWWNs. An fWWN
is the WWN of an F_Port. An F_Port member represents all N_Ports that log in through the F_Port. Any
specified N_Port members can be indirectly connected to the switch.
You can specify the role of a member as an initiator, a target, or both when adding the member. The role
can be configured only in enhanced zoning mode and takes effect only when the Pairwise feature is
enabled.
To configure a zone alias:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VSAN view.
