Zone creation and maintenance
11
To create a broadcast zone, use the reserved name “broadcast”.
3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
The cfgSave command ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to nonvolatile
memory. If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this command is run,
the transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A message displays on the other
switches to indicate that the transaction was aborted.
4. Enter the cfgShow command to view the changes.
Example Creating a new zone
switch:admin> zonecreate sloth, "b*; 10:00:00:00:01:1e:20:20"
switch:admin> cfgsave
switch:admin> cfgshow
Defined configuration:
zone: matt 30:06:00:07:1e:a2:10:20; 3,2
zone: sloth bawn; bolt; bond; brain; 10:00:00:00:01:1e:20:20
alias: bawn 3,5; 4,8
alias: bolt 10:00:00:02:1f:02:00:01
alias: bond 10:00:05:1e:a9:20:00:01; 3,5
alias: brain 11,4; 22,1; 33,6
alias: jake 4,7; 8,9; 14,11
alias: jeff 30:00:00:05:1e:a1:cd:02; 40:00:00:05:1e:a1:cd:04
alias: jones 7,3; 4,5
alias: zeus 4,7; 6,8; 9,2

Adding devices (members) to a zone
ATTENTION
This command will add all zone member aliases that match the “aliasname_pattern” in the zone
database to the specified zone.
Use the following procedure to add members to a zone:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the zoneAdd command, using either of the following syntaxes:
zoneadd "zonename", "member[; member...]"
zoneadd "zonename", "aliasname_pattern*[;members]"
NOTE
This command supports partial pattern matching (“wildcards”) of zone member aliases.
This allows you to add multiple aliases that match the “aliasname_pattern” in the
command line.
3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
The cfgSave command ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to nonvolatile
memory. If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this command is run,
the transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A message displays on the other
switches to indicate that the transaction was aborted.
4. Enter the cfgShow command to view the changes.
