Virtual Fabrics considerations for Traffic Isolation Zoning

FIGURE 43

Creating a TI zone in a logical fabric

You must also create and activate a TI zone in the base fabric to reserve the XISLs for the dedicated
path. In

Figure 44

, the XISLs highlighted (by a dotted line) in the base fabric can be reserved for

FID1 by defining and activating a base fabric TI zone that consists of ports 10, 12, 14, and 16. You
must also include ports 3 and 8, because they belong to logical switches participating in the logical
fabric. For the TI zone, it is as though ports 3 and 8 belong to Domains 1 and 2 respectively.

FIGURE 44

Creating a TI zone in a base fabric

Using D,I notation, the port numbers for the TI zones in the logical fabric and base fabric are as
follows:

Notice that the base fabric zone contains a reference to port 1,3 even though the base switch with
domain 1 does not have a port 3 in the switch. This number refers to the port in the chassis with
port index 3, which actually belongs to LS3 in FID 1.
