M Commands

This chapter describes the Cisco NX-OS Fibre Channel, virtual Fibre Channel, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) commands that begin with M.

member (fcalias configuration mode)

To add a member name to a Fibre Channel alias on a Virtual SAN (VSAN), use the member command. To remove a member name from a Fibre Channel alias, use the no form of this command.

member { device-alias aliasname | domain-id domain-id port-number port-number | fcid fc-id | fwwn fwwn-id | interface fc slot / port [ domain-id domain-id | swwn swwn-id ] | pwwn pwwn-id | symbolic-nodename nodename }

no member { device-alias aliasname | domain-id domain-id port-number port-number | fcid fc-id | fwwn fwwn-id | interface fc slot / port [ domain-id domain-id | swwn swwn-id ] | pwwn pwwn-id | symbolic-nodename nodename }

Usage Guidelines

Create a zone set zone member only if you need to add member to a zone from the zone set prompt.

Examples

This example shows how to add a member to a zone called zs1 on VSAN 1:

switch(config)# zone name zs1 vsan 1
switch(config-zone)# member fcid 0x111112
 

This example shows how to add a zone to a zone set called Zoneset1 on VSAN 1:

switch(config)# zoneset name ZoneSet1 vsan 1
switch(config-zoneset-zone)# member fcid 0x111112
 

This example shows how to assign a Fibre Channel interface member into a zone:

switch(config)# zoneset name ZoneSet1 vsan 1
switch(config-zoneset-zone)# member interface fc 3/1
 

This example shows how to delete the specified device from a zone:

switch(config-zoneset-zone)# no member interface fc 3/1
