DESCRIPTION

The zone command supports three types of operations: specific zone operations, management of Traffic
Isolation Zones, and management of Frame Redirect (RD) Zones.

1. Manage Zoning Operations

Use the --copy, --expunge, and --validate options to perform specific zoning operations. These
commands follow a batched-transaction model.

2. Manage Traffic Isolation (TI) Zones

Use the --create, --add, --remove, --delete, --activate,\ --deactivate, and --show options to manage
Traffic Isolation Zones.

TI zones control the flow of interswitch traffic by provisioning certain E_Ports to carry only traffic flowing
from a specific set of source ports. The provision (a.k.a TI Zone) is part of the defined zone configuration
and does not appear in the effective zone configuration. A Maximum of 255 TI Zones can be created in
one fabric.

TI zones over FCR provide the ability to lock down a request and corresponding response to the same
VE_Port tunnel for a given pair of devices in two separate fabrics. TI over FCR has two working parts:
