Traffic Isolation Zoning over FC routers

TI zones within an edge fabric
A TI zone within an edge fabric is used to route traffic between a real device and a proxy device
through a particular EX_Port. For example, in
Figure 39 , you can set up a TI zone to ensure that
traffic between Host 1 and the proxy target is routed through EX_Port 9.
FIGURE 39 TI zone in an edge fabric
In the TI zone, when you designate E_Ports between the front and xlate phantom switches,
you must use -1 in place of the “I” in the D,I notation. Both the front and xlate domains must be
included in the TI zone.
Using D,I notation, the members of the TI zone in Figure 39 are:
• 1,8
• 1,1
• 3,-1 (E_Port for the front phantom domain)
• 4,-1 (E_Port for the xlate phantom domain)
NOTE
In this configuration the traffic between the front and xlate domains can go through any path
between these two domains. The -1 does not identify any specific ISL. To guarantee a specific ISL,
you need to set up a TI zone within the backbone fabric.
