Command Modes Global configuration mode
Zoning configuration mode
Description Use this command to create a zone alias, to add one or more members to a zone alias, or to
remove a member from a zone alias.
This command enters a subconfiguration mode, where you can specify the names of the zone
alias members to be added to the defined configuration or removed from the defined
configuration.
Usage Guidelines This command is supported only in Brocade VCS Fabric mode. Zoning configuration data are
automatically distributed among all RBridges in the VCS Fabric. Standalone mode is not
supported.
This command can be entered on any RBridge in a Brocade VCS Fabric, but it is always executed
on the principal RBridge in fabric cluster mode. In logical chassis cluster mode, edits can be
performed only from the principal RBridge.
Enter member-entry member [ ; member] … in the subconfiguration mode to add one or more
members to a zone alias. You specify the zone alias member by its WWN. When adding multiple
members in a single command line, the members are added sequentially until all members are
added or the first error is encountered.
Enter no member-entry member to remove a member from a zone alias. You can remove only one
member entry each time you enter no member-entry.
If you remove the last member from a zone alias and subsequently commit the configuration, the
commit operation deletes the zone alias.
Enter no zoning defined-configuration alias aliasName to delete a zone alias.
The zoning defined-configuration alias command changes the defined configuration.
To save the configuration persistently, enter zoning enabled-configuration cfg-action cfg-save. For
the change to become effective, enable the configuration by entering
zoning enabled-configuration cfgName.
Examples To create a zone alias with one member:
switch(config)# zoning defined-configuration alias alias1
