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

Figure 44

on page 361:

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

on page

365.

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

Creating a TI zone in a base fabric

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Create a "dummy" zone configuration in the base fabric. For example:

zone --create "z1", "1,1"

cfgcreate "base_config", z1

3. Enter the zone --create command to create the TI zone in the base fabric:

zone --create -t objtype -o f name -p "portlist"

The disable failover option is not supported in base fabrics.

4. 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 5.
