General rules for TI zones
12
, the TI zone was configured incorrectly and E_Port “3,9” was
erroneously omitted from the zone. The domain 3 switch assumes that traffic coming from
E_Port 9 is not part of the TI zone and so that traffic is routed to E_Port 11 instead of E_Port
12, if failover is enabled. If failover is disabled, the route is broken and traffic stops.

Traffic Isolation Zone violation handling for trunk ports
For any trunk group, all the members of the group need to belong to the TI zone to prevent routing
issues resulting from changes in the members of the trunk group. This applies to any E_Port or
F_Port trunk groups that are included in TI zones using failover disabled mode.
Fabric OS posts a RASlog message (ZONE-1061) if any of the ports part of a trunk group is not
added to the TI zone with failover disabled. Also, a CLI (zone --showTItrunkerrors) is provided to
check if all ports per switch in a TI zone are proper. This will help you identify missing trunk
members and take corrective actions.
Example RASlog message when any port in a trunk group is not in the TI zone
SW82:FID128:admin> zone
[ZONE-1061], 620/181, FID 128, WARNING, sw0, Some trunk members are missing
from failover disabled active TI zones.
The CLI essentially displays the details of the trunk members present in the TI zone and those
not
present in the TI zone. These details are displayed per TI Zone basis.
Example RASlog message when --showTItrunkerrors is added to zone command
switch:admin> zone --showTItrunkerrors
