Configuring the Pairwise feature

This feature allows a zone member to access only members with a different role in the same zone. A

Configuring zone aliases

You can specify members of a zone alias by using their FC addresses, pWWNs, or fWWNs. An fWWN
is the WWN of an F_Port. An F_Port member represents all N_Ports that log in through the F_Port. The

N_Ports specified as zone alias members can be indirectly connected to the switch.
You can specify the role of a member as an initiator, a target, or both when adding the member. The role

takes effect only after you enable the Pairwise feature.
