This action will replace the old zoning configuration with the
current configuration selected.
Do you want to enable 'zone_cfg' configuration (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
zone config "zone_cfg" is in effect

11. Log in as an admin and connect to the FC router.

12. Enter the following commands to display information about the LSANs:

lsanZoneShow -s shows the LSAN.

switch:admin> lsanzoneshow -s
Fabric ID: 2 Zone Name: lsan_zone_fabric2
10:00:00:00:c9:2b:c9:0c Imported
50:05:07:61:00:5b:62:ed EXIST
50:05:07:61:00:49:20:b4 EXIST
Fabric ID: 75 Zone Name: lsan_zone_fabric75
10:00:00:00:c9:2b:c9:0c EXIST
50:05:07:61:00:5b:62:ed Imported

fcrPhyDevShow shows the physical devices in the LSAN.

fcrProxyDevShow shows the proxy devices in the LSAN.

On the FC router, the host and Target A are imported, because both are defined by
lsan_zone_fabric2 and lsan_zone_fabric75. However, Target B is defined by lsan_zone_fabric2
and is not imported because lsan_zone_fabric75 does not allow it.

When a PLOGI, PDISC, or ADISC arrives at the FC router, the SID and DID of the frame are checked.
If they are LSAN-zoned at both SID and DID edge fabrics, the frame is forwarded to the DID. If they
are not zoned, only the PLOGI is dropped; for the remaining frames zoning enforcement takes place
in the edge fabrics.

Configuring backbone fabrics for interconnectivity

If you want devices in backbone fabrics to communicate with devices in edge fabrics, set up the
LSANs as described in the section

“Controlling device communication with the LSAN”

on page 591.

However, instead of configuring the LSAN in the second edge fabric, configure the LSAN in the
backbone fabric.
