The name of the inter-fabric zone begins with IFZ followed by the lowest
device port WWN followed by the remaining port WWN, all uppercase,
separated by underscores (_). For example, consider the following local and
remote device WWNs:
Local device: 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:d3:59
Remote device: 22:00:00:04:cf:a8:7f:2d
The inter-fabric zone name would be:
IFZ_210000E08B0ED359_22000004CFA87F2D
4. Apply the same inter-fabric zone that was created on the local fabric to the
active zoning on the remote fabric. The application creates a suggested list
of commands during the mapping process that, when run on a remote fabric
consisting of Brocade or Cisco switches, will make the necessary zoning
changes to the remote fabric. See the QLogic 5800V Series QuickTools
Switch Management User’s Guide or QLogic 5800V Series Enterprise
Fabric Suite User’s Guide for important details on creating and using this list
of suggested commands. When modifications to the active zoning on both
fabrics are complete, the transparent routing connection becomes active,
and the local devices will discover the remote devices.
Switch ServicesYou can configure your switch to suit the demands of your environment by
enabling or disabling a variety of switch services. Familiarize yourself with the
following switch services and determine which ones you need.
Telnet: Provides for the management of the switch over a Telnet connection .
Disabling this service is not recommended. The default is enabled.
Secure Shell (SSH): Provides for secure remote connections to the switch
using SSH. Your workstation must also use an SSH client. The default is
disabled.
GUI Management: Provides for out-of-band management of the switch with
Enterprise Fabric Suite, QuickTools, the API, SNMP, and SMI-S. If this
service is disabled, the switch can only be managed inband or through the
serial port. The default is enabled.
Inband Management: Provides for the management of the switch over an
inter-switch link using Enterprise Fabric Suite, QuickTools, SNMP,
management server, or the API. If you disable inband management, you can
no longer communicate with that switch by means other than an Ethernet or
serial connection.The default is enabled.
