Traffic Isolation zones

A Traffic Isolation zone (TI zone) is a special zone that isolates inter-switch traffic to a specific,
dedicated path through the fabric. A TI zone contains a list of E_Ports, followed by a list of N_Ports.
When the TI zone is activated, the fabric attempts to isolate all inter-switch traffic between N_Ports
to only those E_Ports that have been included in the zone. The fabric also attempts to exclude
traffic not in the TI zone from using E_Ports within that TI zone.
Traffic Isolation zoning is only supported with domain and port index number members.
To create a TI zone for a logical fabric that uses XISLs, you must create two TI zones: one in the
logical fabric and one in the base fabric. The combination of TI zones in the base fabric and logical
fabric sets the path through the base fabric for logical switches.
