Zone aliases

A zone alias is user-defined name for a logical group of ports or WWNs. You can simplify the
process of creating and managing zones by first specifying aliases for zone members. Aliases
facilitate tracking and eliminate the need for long lists of individual zone member names. An alias
can be a member of a zone, but it cannot be a member of a zoning configuration.

Creating an alias

1. Issue the <show>/<name-server>/<detail> custom action that resides in the

urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-nameserver namespace to list the WWNs of devices and
targets available in the Brocade VCS Fabric. The available WWNs appear in the
<name-server>/<name-server-portname> and <name-server>/<nameserver-nodename>
fields in the reply message.

<nca:action xmlns:nca="http://tail-f.com/ns/netconf/actions/1.0">

<nca:data>

<name-server xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-nameserver">

<rbridge-id>66</rbridge-id>

</detail>
