Virtual Fabric considerations for Traffic Isolation Zoning

FIGURE 44 Dedicated path with Virtual Fabrics
Figure 45 shows a logical representation of FID1 in Figure 44 . To create the dedicated path, you
must create and activate a TI zone in FID1 that includes the circled ports shown in Figure 45 .
FIGURE 45 Creating a TI zone in a logical fabric
You must also create and activate a TI zone in the base fabric to reserve the XISLs for the dedicated
path. In
Figure 44 , the XISLs highlighted (by a dotted line) in the base fabric can be reserved for
FID1 by defining and activating a base fabric TI zone that consists of ports 10, 12, 14, and 16. You
must also include ports 3 and 8, because they belong to logical switches participating in the logical
fabric. For the TI zone, it is as though ports 3 and 8 belong to Domains 1 and 2 respectively.
