Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch CLI Software Configuration Guide (OL-16597-01, July 2009)

The default zone members are explicitly listed when the default policy is configured as permit or when a zone
set is active. When the default policy is configured as deny, the members of this zone are not explicitly
enumerated when you view the active zone set.
Configuring the Default Zone Access Permission
To permit or deny traffic to members in the default zone, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Permits traffic flow to default zone
members.
switch(config)# zone default-zone permit vsan
vsan-id
Step 2
Denies (default) traffic flow to default zone
members.
switch(config)# no zone default-zone permit
vsan vsan-id
Step 3
About FC Alias Creation
You can assign an alias name and configure an alias member using the following values:
• pWWN—The WWN of the N port is in hex format (for example, 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab).
• fWWN—The WWN of the fabric port name is in hex format (for example, 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab).
• FC ID—The N port ID is in 0xhhhhhh format (for example, 0xce00d1).
• Domain ID—The domain ID is an integer from 1 to 239. A mandatory port number of a non-Cisco
switch is required to complete this membership configuration.
• Interface—Interface-based zoning is similar to port-based zoning because the switch interface is used
to configure the zone. You can specify a switch interface as a zone member for both local and remote
switches. To specify a remote switch, enter the remote switch WWN (sWWN) or the domain ID in the
particular VSAN.
The switch supports a maximum of 2048 aliases per VSAN.Tip
