Zoning and Partnering with QuickLoops
To define a QuickLoop zone, specify the list of members to be included and assign a unique zone
name. A QuickLoop zone 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, Zone1 is not the same name as zone1.
To create a QuickLoop zone, specify QuickLoop zone members by looplet, by AL_PA, or by
combination of the two.
To specify by looplet, specify the QuickLoop zone name, in quotes, and the physical ports to be
included, in quotes. For example:
"QLZoneName", "0,0; 0,1; 2,6; 2,7; 2,8"
To specify by AL_PA, specify the QuickLoop zone name, in quotes, with the QuickLoop name, and
desired AL_PAs in quotes. All AL_PAs must be associated with a QuickLoop name. For example:
"QLZoneName", "qloop1[01,02,04,e0,e1,e2]"
To specify a combination of looplet and AL_PA, for example:
"QLZoneName", "0,2; 0,3; qloop1[ca,cb,e1,e2]"

Define QuickLoop Zone Configuration

A QuickLoop zone configuration is a group of QuickLoop zones that are enforced whenever that
zone configuration is enabled.
To define a QuickLoop zone configuration, assign a zone configuration name and specify the
QuickLoop zones to be included, by zone name. The QuickLoop names of the QuickLoop zones
must also be included in the zone configuration. For an example, see Chapter 5, Detailed Zoning
Examples.
A QuickLoop zone configuration name must be a unique alpha-numeric string beginning with an
alpha character. The underscore character ( _ ) is allowed and zone configuration names are
case-sensitive. For example, QLConfig_1 is not the same name as qlconfig_1.

Enable QuickLoop Zone Configuration

To enable a QuickLoop zone configuration that has been established using the cfgCreate
command, select the configuration to be enabled and use the cfgEnable command.
