Tip If any NL port attached to an FL port shares a broadcast zone with the source of the broadcast frame,
then the frames are broadcast to all devices in the loop.
To broadcast frames in the enhanced zoning mode, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# zone-attribute-group name
BroadcastAttr vsan 2
switch(config)# no zone-attribute-group name
BroadAttr vsan 1
Step 3
switch(config-attribute-group)# broadcast
switch(config-attribute-group)# exit
switch(config)#
switch(config-attribute-group)# no broadcast
Step 4
switch(config)# zone name BroadcastAttr vsan 2
switch(config-zone)#
Step 5
switch(config-zone)# member pwwn
21:00:00:e0:8b:0b:66:56
switch(config-zone)# member pwwn
21:01:00:e0:8b:2e:80:93
switch(config-zone)# attribute-group name
BroadcastAttr
switch(config-zone)# exit
switch(config)#
Step 6
switch(config)# zone commit vsan 1
Commit operation initiated
switch(config)# end
Step 7
switch# show zone vsan 1
zone name BroadcastAttr vsan 1
zone-attribute-group name BroadcastAttr vsan 1
