Use the following procedure to create a TI zone. If you are creating a TI zone in a base fabric, use the
procedure described in

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the zone --create command:

zone --create -t objtype [-o optlist] name -p "portlist"

Be aware of the ramifications if you create a TI zone with failover mode disabled. See

on page 342 for information about disabling failover mode.

3. Perform the following steps if you have any TI zones with failover disabled. If all of your TI zones

are failover-enabled, skip to step 4.
a)

Change the failover option to failover enabled. This is a temporary change to avoid frame
loss during the transition.

zone --add -o f name

Enable the zones.

cfgenable "current_effective_configuration"

Reset the failover option to failover disabled. Then continue with step 4.

zone --add -o n name

4. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce the TI

zones.

TI zone creation

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"
