Creating and populating traffic isolation zones
A traffic isolation zone (TI zone) is a special zone that creates a dedicated path for a specific traffic
flow. When a TI zone is activated, inter-switch traffic from a zone member is directed to E_ports that
are included in the TI zone. Traffic from outside the TI zone is excluded. A maximum of 255 TI zones
can be configured. LSAN devices can be added only in TI zones created in the backbone switch.
Use the following procedure to create and populate a TI zone.
1. Open the Zone Administration window as described on page 112.
2. Under Zoning Modes, select Traffic Isolation Zones.
The Traffic Isolation Zones view displays.
3. Click New on the menu bar.
The Add TI Zone dialog box displays.
4. Expand the Member Selection List to view the nested elements.
5. Select an element in the Member Selection List that you want to include in your zone. The Add
Member button becomes active.
6. Click Add Member to add the zone member.
The selected member is moved to the Zone Members window.
7. Optional: Repeat steps 7 and 8 to add more elements to your TI zone.
8. When you are finished, click OK
You return to the Traffic Isolations Zones view.
9. Click Apply to save the traffic isolation zone configuration.
Managing zone configurations
A zone configuration is a group of zones; zoning is enabled on a fabric by enabling a specific
configuration. You can specify members of a configuration using zone names.
Figure 53 shows a sample zoning database and the relationship between the zone aliases, zones,
and zoning configuration. The database contains one zoning configuration, myconfig, which
contains two zones: Zone A and Zone B. The database also contains four aliases, which are
members of Zone A and Zone B. Zone A and Zone B also have additional members other than the
aliases.
