Brocade 交换机用的是fabric OS.

1. 重要的命令：
a)help：
 help "command"
b)没有grep，可以用pattern代替，具体：
     "pattern"
          A regular expression that  matches  zone  configuration
          names.  The pattern must be enclosed in quotation marks
          and can contain the following:

          Question mark (?)
               Matches any single character

          Asterisk (*)
               Matches any string of characters.

          Range
               Matches any character  within  the  range.  Ranges
               must  be enclosed in square brackets, for example,
               [0-9] or [a-f].
To display all zone configurations that start with "Test":

        switch:admin> cfgshow "Test*"
        cfg:   Test1 Blue_zone
        cfg:   Test_cfg Red_zone; Blue_zone
c) h (history)
d) switchshow (show port info)
e) alishow alicreate aliadd alidelete aliremove (zone as the same)

2. 理解cfg->zone->alias->wwpn
可以从GUI上看结构，cfg包括所有的zone，zone包括alias，alias包含wwpns。

平时若需create一个zone：
需要做的步骤是：
cfgshow

Aliacreate

zonecreate

zoneadd

cfgsave

cfgenable
