Traffic isolation zoning

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:

• 24-port, 8 Gbps FC Switch

• 40-port, 8 Gbps FC Switch

• 80-port, 8 Gbps FC Switch

• 48-port, 16 Gbps FC Switch

• 8 Gbps 12-port Embedded Switch

• 8 Gbps 24-port Embedded Switch

• 8 Gbps 16-port Embedded Switch

• 8 Gbps 24-port Embedded Switch

• 8 Gbps Extension Switch

• 8 Gbps 8-FC port, 10 GbE 24-CEE port Switch

• 8 Gbps 40-port Switch

• 16 Gbps 192-port Backbone Chassis

• 16 Gbps 384-port Backbone Chassis

• 384-port Backbone Chassis

• 192-port Backbone Chassis

• 8 Gbps Encryption Switch

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

• Every switch must be one of the supported platforms, as listed above.

• Every switch must be running Fabric OS v6.4.0 or later.

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.
