Zoning Commands

4-1

Zoning is managed by logging into a switch via Telnet. You can use any switch in the
fabric. Changes made to zoning information on one switch are replicated through all
switches in the fabric.

You use zoning commands through the shell admin account to manage zones, zone
aliases, and zone configurations.

Add, Create, Delete, and Remove commands modify the defined configuration.
These commands have no effect on the configuration until you execute them by
typing

&!.

Most commands return value codes on the switch, where “0” means the command
completed successfully and “1” or any other number indicates failure.

Zone alias commands enable you to manipulate the zone aliases. This section pro-
vides details about these types of commands.

The following example shows three instances of the aliCreate command, which
creates a new zone alias:

!'"###())*()) #

!'"###()(*())()#

!'"###())(*())#
