Trunking with TI zones
If you implement trunking and TI zones, you should keep the following points in mind:
• To include a trunk group in a TI zone, you must include all ports of the trunk in the TI zone.
• Trunked ISL ports cannot be members of more than one TI zone.
• The
zone
command includes an option to show TI trunk errors: zone --showTItrunkerrors
Description
This command parameter displays the details of the trunk members in the TI zone, separated
into present and not present, and displayed per TI Zone basis.
Sample output
switch:admin> zone --showTItrunkerrors
TI Zone Name: brackets
E-Port Trunks
Trunk members in TI zone: 16 18
Trunk members not in TI zone: 17
F-Port Trunks
Trunk members in TI zone: 4 5
Trunk members not in TI zone: 6
TI Zone Name: loop
E-Port Trunks
Trunk members in TI zone: 0
Trunk members not in TI zone: 1
TI Zone Name: operand
E-Port Trunks
Trunk members in TI zone: 8
Trunk members not in TI zone: 9 10
E-Port Trunks
Trunk members in TI zone: 16
Trunk members not in TI zone: 17 18
Limitations and restrictions of Traffic Isolation Zoning
The following limitations and restrictions apply to Traffic Isolation Zoning:
• For switches running Fabric OS 6.1.0 or later, a maximum of 255 TI zones can be created in
one fabric. For switches running Fabric OS 6.0.x, no more than 239 TI zones should be
created.
A fabric merge resulting in greater than the maximum allowed TI zones results in merge failure
and the fabrics are segmented.
• A TI zone can be created using D,I (Domain, Index) notation only, except for TI zones in a
backbone fabric, which use port WWNs. See
“Traffic Isolation Zoning over FC routers” on
page 352 for information about TI zones in a backbone fabric.
