Configuring Default Zone QoS Priority Attributes

QoS priority attribute configuration changes take effect when you activate the zone set of the associated
zone.
Note If a member is part of two zones with two different QoS priority attributes, the higher QoS value is
implemented. This situation does not arise in the VSAN-based QoS as the first matching entry is
implemented.
To configure the QoS priority attributes for a default zone, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# zone default-zone vsan 1
switch(config-default-zone)#
Step 3
switch(config-default-zone)# attribute qos
priority high
switch(config-default-zone)# no attribute
qos priority high

About Broadcast Zoning

Broadcast zoning is not supported on the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem and the Cisco
Note
Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
You can configure broadcast frames in the basic zoning mode. By default, broadcast zoning is disabled
and broadcast frames are sent to all Nx ports in the VSAN. When enabled, broadcast frames are only
sent to Nx ports in the same zone, or zones, as the sender. Enable broadcast zoning when a host or storage
device uses this feature.
If any NL port attached to an FL port shares a broadcast zone with the source of the broadcast frame,
Tip
then the frames are broadcast to all devices in the loop.
Caution If broadcast zoning is enabled on a switch, you cannot configure the interop mode in that VSAN.
