Enhanced TI zones
In Fabric OS 6.4.0 or higher, ports can be in multiple TI zones. Zones with overlapping port
members are called enhanced TI zones (ETIZ).
Enhanced TI zones are supported only on the following platforms:
• 24-port, 8 Gbps FC Switch
• 40-port, 8 Gbps FC Switch
• 80-port, 8 Gbps FC Switch
• 8 Gbps 12-port Embedded Switch
• 8 Gbps 24-port Embedded Switch
• 8 Gbps 16-port Embedded Switch
• 8 Gbps 24-port Embedded Switch
• 8 Gbps 16-FC ports, 6-Gbit ports Extension Switch
• 24 - 8 Gbps FC Port, 8 - 10 Gbps CEE Port Switch
• 8 Gbps 40-port Switch
• 384-port Backbone Chassis
• 192-port Backbone Chassis
• 8 Gbps Encryption Switch
Enhanced TI zones are supported only if the following conditions are met:
• Every switch must be one of the supported platforms, as listed above.
• Every switch must be running Fabric OS v6.4.0 or later.
If the fabric contains a switch running an earlier version of Fabric OS, you cannot create an
enhanced TI zone.
The failover mode must be the same for each enhanced TI zone to which a port belongs.
You cannot merge a downlevel switch into a fabric containing enhanced TI zones, and you cannot
merge a switch with enhanced TI zones defined into a fabric containing switches that do not
support ETIZ.
NOTE
FC router domains and EOS switches are excluded from the ETIZ platform restrictions. You can
create enhanced TI zones with these switches in the fabric.
Configuring traffic isolation zoning
The following procedure provides an overview of the steps you must perform to configure traffic
isolation zoning.
Note that for any zoning-related procedure, changes to a zone database are not saved until you
click OK or Apply on the Zoning dialog box. If you click Cancel or the close button (X), no changes
are saved.
1. Select Configure > Zoning > Fabric.
The Zoning dialog box displays.
2. Click the Zone DB tab if that tab is not automatically displayed.
