Configures the zone attribute group for the required VSAN.
Step 3
switch(config)# no zone-attribute-group name BroadAttr vsan 1
Removes the zone attribute group for the required VSAN.
Step 4
switch(config-attribute-group)# broadcast
Creates a broadcast attribute for this group and exits this submode.
Step 5 switch(config-attribute-group)# no broadcast
Removes broadcast attribute for this group and exits this submode.
Step 6
switch(config)# zone name BroadcastAttr vsan 2
Configures a zone named BroadcastAttr in VSAN 2.
Step 7 switch(config-zone)# member pwwn 21:00:00:e0:8b:0b:66:56
Adds the specified members to this zone and exits this submode.
Step 8
switch(config)# zone commit vsan 1
Applies the changes to the enhanced zone configuration and exits this submode.
