Using QuickLoop Zones 27
A QuickLoop name must be a unique alpha-numeric string beginning
with an alpha character. The underscore character ( _ ) is allowed and
names are case sensitive. For example,
Qloop1 is not the same name as
qloop1 .
2. Define a QuickLoop zone.
A QuickLoop zone is a group of FL_Ports or AL_PAs that can
communicate with each other. These ports and AL_PAs must reside
within the same QuickLoop. To be a QuickLoop zone, every member
must be either a looplet (FL_Port) or an AL_PA within a single
QuickLoop. QuickLoop zones can overlap looplets, but they must be
confined to a single QuickLoop. QuickLoop zones are hardware
enforced, but zones within a single looplet are not enforceable; therefore
it is recommended that you do not partition devices within a looplet into
different zones.
To define a QuickLoop zone, specify the list of members to be included
and assign a unique zone name. A QuickLoop zone name must be a
unique alpha-numeric string beginning with an alpha character. The
underscore character ( _ ) is allowed and zone names are case sensitive.
For example,
Zone1 is not the same name as zone1 .
To create a QuickLoop zone, specify QuickLoop zone members by
looplet, by AL_PA, or by a combination of the two.
To specify by looplet, specify the QuickLoop zone name, in quotes, and
the physical ports to be included, in quotes. For example:
“QLZoneName”, “0,0; 0,1; 2,6; 2.7; 2,8”
To specify by AL_PA, specify the QuickLoop zone name, in quotes,
with the QuickLoop name, and desired AL_PAs in quotes. All AL_PAs
must be associated with a QuickLoop name. For example:
“QLZoneName”, “qloop1[01,02,04,e0,e1,e2]”
To specify a combination of looplet and AL_PA, for example:
“QLZoneName”, “0,2; 0,3; qloop1[ca,cb,e1,e2]”
