Description The zone command supports three types of operations: specific zone operations, management of Traffic Isolation
Zones, and management of Frame Redirect (RD) Zones.
1. Manage Zoning Operations
Use the --copy, --expunge, and --validate options to perform specific zoning operations. These commands
follow a batched-transaction model.
2. Manage Traffic Isolation (TI) Zones
Use the --create, --add, --remove, --delete, --activate, --deactivate, and --show options to manage Traffic
Isolation Zones.
TI zones control the flow of interswitch traffic by provisioning certain E_Ports to carry only traffic flowing from a
specific set of source ports. The provision (a.k.a TI Zone) is part of the defined zone configuration and does not
appear in the effective zone configuration. A Maximum of 255 TI Zones can be created in one fabric.
