About FC Alias Creation
You can assign an alias name and configure an alias member using the following values:
• pWWN—The WWN of the N port is in hex format (for example, 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab).
• fWWN—The WWN of the fabric port name is in hex format (for example,
10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab).
• FC ID—The N port ID is in 0xhhhhhh format (for example, 0xce00d1).
• Domain ID—The domain ID is an integer from 1 to 239. A mandatory port number of a non-Cisco
switch is required to complete this membership configuration.
• Interface—Interface-based zoning is similar to port-based zoning because the switch interface is
used to configure the zone. You can specify a switch interface as a zone member for both local and
remote switches. To specify a remote switch, enter the remote switch WWN (sWWN) or the domain
ID in the particular VSAN.
Tip The switch supports a maximum of 2048 aliases per VSAN.
