Creating a TI zone
12
To create TI zones in a logical fabric, such as the one shown in Figure 48 on page 285:
Log in to the logical switch FID1, Domain 7 and create a TI zone in the logical fabric with FID=1:
LS1> zone --create -t ti -o f "ti_zone1" -p "8,8; 8,1; 3,3; 3,10; 5,16; 5,8;
9,5; 9,9"
Then create a TI zone in the base fabric, as described in “Creating a TI zone in a base fabric”.
Remember that your changes are not enforced until you enter the cfgEnable command, as shown
here:
switch:admin> cfgenable "USA_cfg"
You are about to enable a new zoning configuration.
This action will replace the old zoning configuration with the
current configuration selected.
If the update includes changes to one or more traffic isolation zones, the
update may result in localized disruption to traffic on ports associated with
the traffic isolation zone changes
Do you want to enable 'USA_cfg' configuration (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
zone config "USA_cfg" is in effect

Creating a TI zone in a base fabric
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Create a “dummy” zone configuration in the base fabric. For example:
zone --create "z1", "1,1"
cfgcreate "base_config", z1
3. Enter the zone --create command to create the TI zone in the base fabric:
zone --create -t objtype -o f name -p "portlist"
The disable failover option is not supported in base fabrics.
4. Perform the following steps if you have any TI zones with failover disabled. If all of your TI zones
are failover-enabled, skip to step 5.
a. Change the failover option to failover enabled. This is a temporary change to avoid frame
loss during the transition.
zone --add -o f name
b. Enable the zones.
cfgenable "current_effective_configuration"
c. Reset the failover option to failover disabled. Then continue with step 4.
zone --add -o n name
5. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce
the TI zones.
