Configuring zoning
The MP Router can be included in zones using either domain, port or WWN naming, and both Fabric OS
switches and XPath OS MP Routers enforce hard zoning on both WWN and domain, port zone object
naming. However, note that if a zone configuration on one switch uses WWN naming and an identical
zone configuration on another switch uses domain, port naming, the configurations do not merge, and the
fabric segments.
1. Determine the zoning schemes you will use in the fabric.
2. Create zone aliases (see ”Creating a zone alias” on page 59).
3. Create zones (see ”Creating a zone” on page 62).
4. Create zone configurations (see ”Creating a zone configuration” on page 66).
5. Enable a zone configuration (see ”Enabling a zone configuration” on page 68).
6. Save the zone configuration (see ”Saving zone information” on page 69).
The following sections provide procedures for managing zones, zone aliases, zone configurations, and
zone server information.
Managing zone aliases
The Zone Aliases tab in the Zoning page displays a list of the zone aliases in the fabric and provides tasks
for managing those zone aliases (see Figure 21). From this tab, you can create, rename, delete, clone, and
save zone aliases. The procedures for these tasks are described next.
