Description
Use this command to create a new zone.
Note:
A zone name is a C-style name beginning with a letter and followed by any
number of letters, digits, and underscore characters. Names are case sensitive; for
example, "Zone_1" indicates a different zone than "zone_1". Blank spaces are
ignored.
The zone member list must have at least one member (empty lists are not
allowed). The members are described by a list of member definitions separated by
semicolons.
Specify ports by domain and port area number. The values are entered as a pair of
numbers "s,p" where "s" is the switch number (domain ID) and "p" is the port area
number. For example, "2, 20" specifies port area number 20 on switch domain 2.
When a zone member is specified by port area number, then all devices connected
to that port are in the zone. If this port is an arbitrated loop, then all devices on the
loop are in the zone.
Specify a World Wide Name as eight hex numbers separated by colons, for
example, "10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a." Advanced Zoning has no knowledge of the
fields within a World Wide Name; the eight bytes are simply compared with the
888
This command requires an Advanced Zoning license.
