Adding members to a traffic isolation zone
NOTE
Traffic isolation zones are only configurable on a Fabric OS device.
Use this procedure to add a member to a zone when the member is listed in the Potential Members
list of the Zone DB tab. Only ports can be added as members to a traffic isolation zone. You must
add two or more N_ports as well as all E_ports on the path between the N_ports.
NOTE
You cannot add a device as a member to a traffic isolation zone.
1. Select Configure > Zoning > Fabric.
The Zoning dialog box displays.
2. Click the Zone DB tab if that tab is not automatically displayed.
3. Select an FC fabric from the Zoning Scope list.
This identifies the target entity for all subsequent zoning actions and displays the zoning
database for the selected entity.
4. If you want to show all discovered fabrics in the Potential Members list, right-click in the
Potential Members list and select Display All.
5. Select one or more traffic isolation zones to which you want to add members in the Zones list.
(Press SHIFT or CTRL and click each zone name to select more than one zone.)
6. Select Domain, Port Index from the Type list.
7. Select two or more N_ports (as well as all E_ports on the path between the N_ports) to add to
the zone in the Potential Members list. (Press SHIFT or CTRL and click each port to select more
than one port.)
NOTE
TI zones can be created in Fabrics that contain logical switches; however, you can only select
physical ports for TI zones.
If you select a trunk port to add to the TI zone, all trunk ports in the trunk group are added to
the TI zone automatically.
8. Click the right arrow between the Potential Members list and Zones list to add the selected
ports to the zone.
A message may display informing you that one or some of the selected potential members
cannot be zoned. Click OK to close the message box. Reconsider your selections and make
corrections as appropriate.
9. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.
A message displays informing you that any zones or zone configurations you have changed will
be saved in the zone database, and warning you to make sure no other user is making changes
to the same areas.
