pWWN—The WWN of the N or NL port is in hex format (for example, 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab).
fWWN—The WWN of the fabric port name is in hex format (for example,
10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab).
FC ID—The N port ID is in 0xhhhhhh format (for example, 0xce00d1).
Domain ID—The domain ID is an integer from 1 to 239. A mandatory port number of a non-Cisco
switch is required to complete this membership configuration.
IPv4 address—The IPv4 address of an attached device is in 32 bits in dotted decimal format along
with an optional subnet mask. If a mask is specified, any device within the subnet becomes a member
of the specified zone.
IPv6 address—The IPv6 address of an attached device is in 128 bits in colon- (:) separated)
hexadecimal format.
Interface—Interface-based zoning is similar to port-based zoning because the switch interface is
used to configure the zone. You can specify a switch interface as a zone member for both local and
remote switches. To specify a remote switch, enter the remote switch WWN (sWWN) or the domain
ID in the particular VSAN.
