Creating and populating enhanced traffic isolation zones
An enhanced traffic isolation zone (TI zone) is a special zone that creates a dedicated path for a
specific traffic flow. When an enhanced TI zone is activated, inter-switch traffic from a zone
member is directed to E_Ports that are included in the TI zone. Traffic from outside the TI zone is
excluded. A maximum of 255 TI zones can be configured. LSAN devices can be added only in TI
zones created in the backbone switch.
A port may be assigned to more than one enhanced TI zone in a fabric. A port can be part of more
than one enhanced TI zone provided following conditions are satisfied:
• All the switches in the fabric should have Fabric OS v 6.4 or later.
• A port can be assigned to multiple TI Zones that have the same failover state.
• The fabric is composed entirely of Condor-2 or GoldenEye-2 switches:
To create and populate an enhanced TI zone, perform the following steps.
1. Open the Zone Admin window as described in “Opening the Zone Admin window” on page 118.
2. Under Zoning Modes, select Traffic Isolation Zones.
The Traffic Isolation Zones view displays.
3. Click New on the menu bar.
The Add TI Zone dialog box displays.
4. Expand the Member Selection List to view the nested elements.
5. Select an element in the Member Selection List that you want to include in your zone.
The right arrow becomes active.
6. Click the right arrow to add the zone member.
The selected member is moved to the Zone Members window.
NOTE
All switches in the fabric must be running Fabric OS v6.4.0 or later and all the ports in the TI
zones must be in the same failover mode.
7. Optional: Repeat steps 5 and 6 to add more elements to your TI zone.
8. When you are finished, click OK. The Traffic Isolations Zones window displays.
9. Click Apply to save the TI zone configuration.
Zone configuration and zoning database management
A zone configuration is a group of zones; zoning is enabled on a fabric by enabling a specific
configuration. You can specify members of a configuration using zone names.
