Chapter 4 Zoning Commands
Introduction
This chapter contains information and examples on managing zones, including the following:
• Zone Alias commands
• Zone Configuration commands
• Zone commands
• Configuration Management commands
For information on issuing commands, see Chapter 3 “Using ZONING” .
ZONING is managed by logging into a switch through Telnet. Any Fabric switch can be used.
A change made to the ZONING information on one switch is replicated through all switches
in the Fabric.
Overview
The ZONING commands are added to the shell admin account to manage zones, zone aliases,
and zone configurations. All commands other than the Show command return zero if
successful and -1 on error.
All Add, Create, Delete, and Remove commands modify the defined configuration. This has
no effect on the effective configuration until a cfgEnable command is executed. As these
commands are executed, the parameter syntax is checked but the changes are not enforced
until the next enable command is given.
Zone Alias Commands
Zone Alias commands allow you to manipulate the zone aliases.
aliAdd
Figure 4-1 shows the aliAdd command. This command adds one or more new alias_members
to an existing zone alias.
