Traffic Isolation Zoning over FC routers

12

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 

 are:

1,8
1,1
3,-1

(E_Port for the front phantom domain)

4,-1

(E_Port for the xlate phantom domain)

Note that 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.

TI within a backbone fabric

A TI zone within a backbone fabric is used to route traffic within the backbone fabric through a 
particular ISL. For example, in 

, a TI zone is set up in the backbone fabric to ensure that 

traffic between EX_Ports “1,1” and “2,1” is routed through VE_Ports “1,4” and “2,7”.

TI zone in a backbone fabric

TI zones within the backbone fabric use the port WWN instead of D,I notation for devices that are to 
communicate across fabrics. (You can use the portShow command to obtain the port WWN.) Port 
WWNs should be used only in TI zones within a backbone fabric and should not be used in other TI 
zones.
