Adding zone members
You can zone a port/device by switch domain ID and port number, or the device port WWN. Adding a
port/device to a zone affects every zone set in which that zone is a member. Domain ID/port zoning is
only supported in McDATA Fabric interop mode for other McDATA switches. To add ports/devices to a
zone, perform the following procedure:
1. Select Zoning > Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog.
2. Choose one of the following methods to add the port/device:
• Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree, and drag it into the zone. Press and hold Control while
selecting multiple ports/devices.
• Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree. Press and hold Control while selecting to select multiple
ports/devices. Select a zone set in the left pane. Select Edit > Add Members.
• Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree. Press and hold Control while selecting multiple
ports/devices. Select a zone set in the left pane. Click Insert.
If the port/device you want to add is not in the Port/Device tree, you can add it by doing the following:
a. Right-click the selected zone.
b. Select Edit > Create Members.
c. Select the WWN or Domain/Port option.
d. Enter the hexadecimal value for the port/device according to the option selection: 16 digits for a
WWN member, or 4 digits for a Domain/ Port member (DDPP). Domain IDs can be 97–127 when
interop mode is set to Standard or1–31 when interop mode is set to McDATA Fabric mode.
3. Click OK to add the member and save the change.
NOTE: Domain ID conflicts can result in automatic reassignment of switch domain IDs. These
reassignments are not reflected in zones that use domain ID/port number pair to define their membership.
Be sure to reconfigure zones that are affected by a domain ID change.
