Creating a TI zone
12
Be aware of the ramifications if you create a TI zone with failover mode disabled. See
on page 268 for information about disabling failover mode.
3. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce
the TI zones.

Example of creating a TI zone
The following examples create a TI zone named “bluezone”, which contains E_Ports 1,1 and 2,4
and N_Ports 1,8 and 2,6.
To create a TI zone with failover enabled and in the activated state (default settings):
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti bluezone -p "1,1; 2,4; 1,8; 2,6"
To create a TI zone with failover enabled (the zone is set to the activated state by default):
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti -o f bluezone -p "1,1; 2,4; 1,8; 2,6"
To create a TI zone with failover disabled and the state set to activated:
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti -o an bluezone -p "1,1; 2,4; 1,8; 2,6"
To create a TI zone and set the state to deactivated (failover is enabled by default):
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti -o d bluezone -p "1,1; 2,4; 1,8; 2,6"
To create a TI zone with failover disabled and the state set to deactivated:
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti -o dn bluezone -p "1,1; 2,4; 1,8; 2,6"
To create a TI zone in the edge fabric with failover enabled and the state set to activated (default
settings):
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti bluezone -p "1,1; 1,8; 2,-1; 3,-1"
To create a TI zone in the backbone fabric with failover enabled and the state set to activated
(default settings):
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti backbonezone -p "10:00:00:04:1f:03:16:f2;
1,1; 1,4; 2,7; 2,1; 10:00:00:04:1f:03:18:f1, 10:00:00:04:1f:04:06:e2"
To create TI zones in a logical fabric, such as the one shown in
Log in to the logical switch FID1, Domain 7 and create a TI zone in the logical fabric with FID=1:
LS1> zone --create -t ti -o f "ti_zone1" -p "8,8; 8,1; 3,3; 3,10; 5,16; 5,8;
9,5; 9,9"
Then create a TI zone in the base fabric, as described in
“Creating a TI zone in a base fabric”
Remember that your changes are not enforced until you enter the cfgEnable command, as shown
here:
switch:admin> cfgenable "USA_cfg"
You are about to enable a new zoning configuration.
This action will replace the old zoning configuration with the
current configuration selected.
If the update includes changes to one or more traffic isolation zones, the
update may result in localized disruption to traffic on ports associated with
the traffic isolation zone changes
Do you want to enable 'USA_cfg' configuration (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
zone config "USA_cfg" is in effect
