Chapter 38 Configuring and Managing Zones
Zone Sets
• Domain ID—The domain ID is an integer from 1 to 239. A mandatory port number of a non-Cisco
switch is required to complete this membership configuration.
• Interface—Interface-based zoning is similar to port-based zoning because the switch interface is
used to configure the zone. You can specify a switch interface as a zone member for both local and
remote switches. To specify a remote switch, enter the remote switch WWN (sWWN) or the domain
ID in the particular VSAN.
Tip The switch supports a maximum of 2048 aliases per VSAN.
Creating FC Aliases
To create an alias, perform this task:
The following example shows how to configure different types of member alias:
switch(config)# fcalias name AliasSample vsan 3
pWWN example:
switch(config-fcalias)# member pwwn 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab
fWWN example:
switch(config-fcalias)# member fwwn 10:01:10:01:10:ab:cd:ef
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# fcalias name AliasSample
vsan vsan-id
Configures an alias name (AliasSample).
Step 3
switch(config-fcalias)# member type
value
Configures a member for the specified fcalias
(AliasSample) based on the type (pWWN, fabric
pWWN, FC ID, domain ID, or interface) and value
specified. See Table 38-2 for details.
Note Multiple members can be specified on
multiple lines.
