Command History
Usage Guidelines Zones are assigned to zone sets. Zone sets are then activated from one switch and propagate across the
fabric to all switches. Zones allow security by permitting and denying access between nodes (hosts and
storage). zone name commands are entered from the configuration mode. Configure a zone for a VSAN
from the config-zone mode.
Use the show wwn switch command to retrieve the switch world wide name (sWWN). If you do not
provide an sWWN, the software automatically uses the local sWWN.
Examples The following example configures attributes for the specified zone (Zone1) based on the member type
(pWWN, fabric pWWN, FCID, or Fibre Channel alias) and value specified:
switch(config)# zone name Zone1 vsan 10
switch(config-zone)# member device-alias device1
The following example configures members for the specified zone (Zone2) based on the member type
(pWWN, fabric pWWN, FCID, or Fibre Channel alias) and value specified:
switch(config)# zone name Zone2 vsan 10
switch(config-zone)# member fcalias Payroll
switch(config-zone)# member domain-id 2 portnumber 23
zone-name Specifies the name of the zone. Maximum length is 64 characters.
vsan vsan-id Specifies the VSAN ID. The range is 1 to 4093.
