Zonesets

Defining Zoning

1. If desired, create (or remove) aliases for Fibre Channel devices:
2. For each desired zone:

Zonesets provide a mechanism for conveniently grouping zones. Each zoneset can
contain one or more zones. A zone can belong to one or more zonesets.
Only one zoneset can be activated at a given time. If you deactivate the active
zoneset, no zonesets are active until you activate another zoneset. If you activate
one zoneset while another zoneset is active, the currently active zoneset is
deactivated.
When you activate a zoneset, the new zoneset access policies are applied.
Up to four zonesets can be configurated on the switch at any given time, though
only one can be active.
Without zoning configuration, none of the Storage targets is visible to hosts. The
default‐zone configuration can be made "permit all" using the command:
RS 8264CS(config)# zone default-zone permit vlan <VLAN ID>
By default the default‐zone status is "deny all".
For security reasons, it is highly recommended that you activate a well‐defined
zoning configuration.
Define the following general properties for Fibre Channel zones and zonesets:
RS 8264CS(config)# [no] fcalias <device alias name> wwn <port World Wide Name>
Repeat for each alias as necessary.
a. Name (or remove) the zone.
RS 8264CS(config)# [no] zone name <zone name>
b. Add (or remove) one or more members to the zone using either pWWNs, FC
IDs, or FC Aliases
RS 8264CS(config-zone)# [no] member pwwn <port World Wide Name>
RS 8264CS(config-zone)# [no] member fcid <Fibre Channel ID>
RS 8264CS(config-zone)# [no] member fcalias <device alias name>
Repeat as necessary for each member device.
c. Exit from zone configuration:
RS 8264CS(config-zone)# exit
