Configuring zone aliases
You can configure a maximum of 4000 zone aliases for all VSANs on a switch.
You can specify N_Ports as members of a zone alias by using their FC addresses or pWWNs. These
N_Ports can be indirectly connected to the switch.
To configure a zone alias:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter VSAN view. vsan vsan-id N/A
3. Create a zone alias and
enter its view.
zone-alias name zone-alias-name
If the zone alias has been created,
enter its view directly.
4. Add a member to the zone
alias.
member { fcid fcid | pwwn pwwn }
By default, no member exists in a
zone alias.
