Difference between Cisco and Brocade
Hi,
I am used to Brocade switches, I have never configure (zoning) a FC
Cisco switch and I would like to know if the way to configure it is quite
different from Brocade.
Thanks
Regards
Consty

the syntax is different but the process is pretty much the same. Add host to VSAN, create alias, create zone, add aliases to zone, add zone to active zone set, activate active zone set. Cisco has great documentation on their website

Dynamox makes it all sound so easy
First of all a VSAN in Cisco country is a fabric in Brocade country. So each VSAN has it's own name service, aliases, zones and zoneset.
Create VSAN 50 or so. Assign ports to VSAN 50 and create aliases, zones and a zoneset in this VSAN through Fabric Manager. FM is a GUI based config tool. Of course you can also configure on the CLI, that's up to you.
After having configured and activated a zoneset, don't forget to save the config ! In Cisco country this is done by "copy run start" or in the GUI automatically when you try to end the GUI. The GUI will ask you to save the config as well.
