HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.X Command Reference Guide (AA-RVHVB-TE, September 2005)

752 Fabric OS commands
This command changes the defined configuration. For the change to be preserved across switch reboots,
it must be saved to flash memory using the cfgSave command. For the change to become effective, an
appropriate zone configuration must be enabled using the cfgEnable command.
NOTE: Use this command to create a broadcast zone. This is a special zone used to specify those nodes
that can receive broadcast traffic. Broadcast traffic is usually meant for servers and not for storage
devices. This zone must be named broadcast. Only one broadcast zone can exist within a fabric. This
