When you have configured the FC router to connect to a fabric, you must create LSAN zones for the
SAN. After you set up LSAN zoning, issue the cfgShow command to verify that the zoning is correct.

Configuring LSAN zones in the M-EOS fabric

To ensure connectivity with devices in the Fabric OS fabric, you must set up LSAN zones in each
edge fabric.
An LSAN is defined by a zone in an edge fabric. When zoning an LSAN containing multiple fabrics
with switches that are not running Fabric OS, you must use port WWN. Because port IDs are not
necessarily unique across fabrics, you cannot use the domain,port method of identification.
If the LSAN is configured and the proxy devices are created, the proxy device will show in the name
server of the edge fabric and the xlate domain will show in the fabric of the edge fabric. For more
details about LSAN zoning, see
The FC router can support up to 2048 zones when connected to an M-EOS v9.9 switch.
NOTE
For more explanation on any of the steps in the following procedure, refer to the Zoning User Manual
online at
Center Best Practices-Resource Center section and follow the instructions for accessing
documentation.
1. Log in to Brocade Network Advisor.
2. Create a new LSAN zone. The name of the zone must use the LSAN_xxxx naming convention.
3. Add devices that are connected to the Fabric OS fabric. Use the device WWN when adding
4. Add the newly created zone to the currently active zone set.
5. Activate the updated zone set.

each SAN.
By projecting the total number of devices and switches expected in each fabric when the
LSANs are active, you can quickly determine the status of the SAN by issuing the commands
nsAllShow and fabricShow on the Fabric OS fabric. The nsAllShow displays the global name
server information and fabricShow displays the fabric membership information. The following
examples illustrate the use of these commands.
An arrow (>) next to the switch symbolic name indicates the principal switch.
