zone member is specified by port name, only that port on the device
(node) is included in the zone.
To specify by alias, specify the alias name.
Zone members can also be designated by a combination of these
methods. For example, the zone definition
2,12; 2,14; 10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a; nt_hosts
contains any devices connected to switch 2, ports 12 and 14, the device
with a node name or port name of
the devices associated with the alias
3. Define the zone configuration.
A zone configuration is a group of zones that are enforced whenever
that zone configuration is enabled. Further, a zone can be included in
more than one zone configuration.
To define a zone configuration, specify the list of zones to be included
and assign a zone configuration name; the zone configuration name
must be a unique alpha-numeric string beginning with an alpha
character. The underscore character ( _ ) is allowed and zone names are
case sensitive. For example,
as
Configuration1
4. Enable the zone configuration.
To enable a zone configuration, select the zone configuration to be
enabled. The configuration is downloaded to the switch hardware.
RSCNs are sent to all fabric devices registered for state changes,
notifying these devices to re-query the name server to discover available
devices that can be accessed.
To make changes to an existing configuration, either add or remove
individual elements to create the desired configuration. When the changes
have been made, save the configuration. This ensures the configuration is
permanently saved in the switch, and it also ensures that the configuration
is replicated throughout the fabric.
The switch configuration file can also be uploaded to the host for archiving,
and it can be downloaded from the host to all switches in the fabric.
