2. Display defined TI zone.
switch:admin> zone --show
Defined TI zone configuration:
TI Zone Name: TI_Zone_ALL
Port List: 20,3; 20,4 20,5; 20,6; 30,7; 30,8; 30,9; 30,10
Configured Status: Activated / Failover-Enabled
Enabled Status: Deactivated
Note that although the configured status is “Activated”, the enabled status is “Deactivated”.
3. Activate the TI zone.
switch:admin> cfgactvshow
Effective configuration:
cfg: <current effective configuration>
…
switch:admin> cfgenable <current effective configuration>
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 isolatoin zone changes
Do you want to enable ’TI_Config’ configuration (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
zone config "name" is in effect

General rules for TI zones
The following general rules apply to TI zones:
• A TI zone must include E_Ports and N_Ports that form a complete, end-to-end route from
initiator to target.
• When an E_Port is a member of a TI zone that E_Port cannot have its indexed swapped with
another port.
• A given E_Port used in a TI zone should not be a member of more than one TI zone.
If multiple E_Ports are configured that are on the lowest cost route to a domain, the various
source ports for that zone are load-balanced across the specified E_Ports.
