350 Optimizing fabric behavior
Figure 53 Example configuration for TI zones over FC routers in Logical Fabrics
Figure 54 shows a logical representation of the configuration in Figure 53. This SAN is similar to that
shown in Figure 46 on page 343 and you would set up the TI zones in the same way as described in
”Traffic Isolation Routing over FC routers” on page 342.

Creating a TI zone
You create and modify TI zones using the zone command. Other zoning commands, such as
zoneCreate, aliCreate, and cfgCreate, cannot be used to manage TI zones.
When you create a TI zone, you can set the state of the zone to activated or deactivated. By default the
zone state is set to activated; however, this does not mean that the zone is activated. After you create the TI
zone, you must enable the current effective configuration to enforce the new TI zone, which is either
activated or deactivated.
Virtual Fabric considerations: Because base fabrics do not contain end devices, they normally do not have
an effective zone configuration. To activate a TI zone in a base fabric, you should create a "dummy"
configuration, as described in ”Creating a TI zone in a base fabric” on page 352.
