Enhanced Ti Zones; Configuring Traffic Isolation Zoning - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade BladeSystem 4/24 User Manual

Enhanced TI zones

In Fabric OS 6.4.0 or higher, ports can be in multiple TI zones. Zones with overlapping port
members are called enhanced TI zones (ETIZ).
Enhanced TI zones are supported only on the following platforms:
•

Enhanced TI zones are supported only if the following conditions are met:

•
If the fabric contains a switch running an earlier version of Fabric OS, you cannot create an
enhanced TI zone.
The failover mode must be the same for each enhanced TI zone to which a port belongs.
You cannot merge a downlevel switch into a fabric containing enhanced TI zones, and you cannot
merge a switch with enhanced TI zones defined into a fabric containing switches that do not
support ETIZ.
NOTE
FC router domains and EOS switches are excluded from the ETIZ platform restrictions. You can
create enhanced TI zones with these switches in the fabric.

Configuring traffic isolation zoning

The following procedure provides an overview of the steps you must perform to configure traffic
