Fibre Channel zoning
Fibre Channel (FC) zoning partitions a FC fabric into subsets to restrict unnecessary interactions, improve security, and manage
the fabric more effectively. Create zones and add members to the zone. Identify a member by an FC alias, world wide name
(WWN), or FC ID. A zone can have a maximum of 255 unique members. Create zonesets and add the zones to a zoneset. A
switch can have multiple zonesets, but you can activate only one zoneset at a time in a fabric.
1. (Optional) Create an FC alias using the fc alias alias-name command in CONFIGURATION mode. The switch enters
Alias CONFIGURATION mode.
2. Add members to the alias using the member {wwn wwn-ID | fc-id fc-id} command in Alias CONFIGURATION
mode. You can add a maximum of 255 unique members.
3. Create a zone using the fc zone zone-name command in CONFIGURATION mode. The switch enters Zone
CONFIGURATION mode.
4. Add members to the zone with the member {alias-name alias-name | wwn wwn-ID | fc-id fc-id}
command in Zone CONFIGURATION mode.
5. Create a zoneset using the fc zoneset zoneset-name command in CONFIGURATION mode. The switch enters
Zoneset CONFIGURATION mode.
6. Add the existing zones to the zoneset with the member zone-name command in Zoneset CONFIGURATION mode.
7. Activate the zoneset using the zoneset activate zoneset-name command in vfabric CONFIGURATION mode. The
members in the zoneset become active.
8. Allow access between all the logged-in FC nodes in the absence of an active zoneset configuration using the zone
default-zone permit command in vfabric CONFIGURATION mode. A default zone advertises a maximum of 255
members in the registered state change notification (RSCN) message.
NOTE:
The default-zone allows or denies access to the FC nodes when an active zoneset is not available. When the
default-zone action is set to permit, the switch allows communication between all the possible pairs of FC nodes.
When you do not configure the default-zone action, the switch denies any communication between FC nodes.
To configure the vfabric on FC interfaces, associate a VLAN ID to the vfabric and add an FC map. For more information, see
Virtual fabric on page 417.
