alias: array2 21:00:00:20:37:0c:66:23

The following example shows all zone aliases beginning with "arr", regardless of the case:

switch:admin> alishow --ic "arr*"

alias: array1 20:e0:00:05:33:11:1f:00

alias: array2 2f:11:00:05:33:c1:37:a2

Zone creation and maintenance

Fabric OS allows you to create zones to better manage devices.

NOTE
Broadcast Zone
: To create a broadcast zone, use the reserved name "broadcast". Do not give a
regular zone the name of "broadcast". Refer to

Broadcast zones

on page 303 for additional information

about this special type of zone.

Virtual Fabrics considerations: Zone definitions should not include logical port numbers. Zoning is not
enforced on logical ports.

Displaying existing zones

Use the following procedure to display a list of existing zones.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgShow command.
