Telnet Commands
A Fabric Assist host member is defined by wrapping the physical 
fabric port or a physical device (a WWN) between “H{” and “}”. For 
example, “H{5,6}” or “H{10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a}” is a Fabric Assist 
host. The type of Fabric Assist zone members used to define a Fabric 
Assist zone may be mixed and matched. For example, a Fabric Assist 
zone defined with the following members: “2,12; 2,14; 
10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a” would contain devices connected to switch 2, 
ports 12 and 14, and the device with a WW N of 
“10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a” (either node name or port name - whichever 
port in the fabric it is connected to).
This command does not change the defined configuration (which you can 
view using the cfgShow command) until the cfgSave command is issued. 
For the change to become effective, an appropriate Fabric Assist zo ne 
configuration must be enabled using the cfgEnable command. For the 
change to be preserved across switch reboots, it must be saved to nonvolatile 
memory using the cfgSave command.
Operands The following operands are required:
fazoneName Specify the name for the Fabric Assist zone. 
The name must be enclosed in quotation 
marks. This operand is required.
member Specify a member or list of members to add 
to a Fabric Assist zone. The list must be 
enclosed in quotation marks, and each 
member must be separated by a semicolon. 
A member can be specified by one or more 
of the following methods:
◆Enter a fabric domain and area number 
pair. View the area numbers for ports 
using the switchShow command.
◆WWNs.
◆Fabric Assist zone alias names.
◆Exactly one Fabric Assist host member.
This operand is required.
