Creating zones
Consider the topics below when creating zones.
Creating a zone
A zone cannot persist without any zone members. When you create a new zone, the zoning defined-
configuration zone command places you in a command subconfiguration mode where you can add
the first zone member entry. You can specify multiple members by separating each member from the
next by a semicolon (;).
NOTE
Zones without any zone members cannot exist in volatile memory. They are deleted when the
transaction commits successfully.
The following procedure adds a new zone to the defined configuration.
1. In privileged EXEC mode, enter the show name-server detail command to obtain the WWNs of
servers and targets available in the Brocade VCS Fabric.
2. Enter the configure terminal command to enter global configuration mode.
3. Enter the zoning defined-configuration zone command and enter a new zone name to add a new
zone.
A subconfiguration mode prompt appears.
4. Enter the subconfiguration mode member-entry command to specify at least one member entry.
The member entry must be specified as a port WWN, a node WWN, or an alias. You can mix
WWNs and aliases.
Add multiple members in one operation by separating each member entry with a semicolon (;). No
spaces are allowed after the semicolon.
5. Enter the exit command to return to global configuration mode.
6. Enter the zoning enabled-configuration cfg-action cfg-save command to save the modified
configuration to nonvolatile memory.
Example of creating a zone with two members, a WWN and an alias:
switch# show name-server detail
PID: 012100
Port Name: 10:00:00:05:1E:ED:95:38
Node Name: 20:00:00:05:1E:ED:95:38
(output truncated)
switch# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
switch(config)# zoning defined-configuration zone zone1
switch(config-zone-zone1)# member-entry 20:00:00:05:1E:ED:95:38;alias2
switch(config-zone-zone1)# exit
switch(config)# zoning enabled-configuration cfg-action cfg-save
