How does one Create Brocade Zones with Brocade commands ?
All:
I have to create a bunch of Brocade Zones at once and I want to do it with commands, not from the GUI, which takes longer.
Is there a manual that tells you how to do this?
Does anybody have an example of doing this?
I can do this on a Cisco, but I don't know how to do it on a Brocade.

If you google for “Brocade OS Command Reference Manual 6.1” you will see the commands that allow you create aliases, zones, zonesets ..etc.

•

If you go to the Connectirx Brocade Support page under Support by Product (or use the link below):
https://support.emc.com/products/ConnectrixBrocade.aspx
On the right hand side under "Top Manuals" click the link "Connectrix Directors and Switches General Reference". This will take you to the page with all the documentation you could want including reference and admin guides for various FOS levels. This should include what you need as well as much much more.

And when you are done, here is a nice command:
zone --validate
which does what it says on the tin
(well, it will tell you things like "member does not exist" on fabric)

Dynamox:
This will get me going in the right direction. Thanks. I also found something similar in "emc180422" in Primus.
Again, I was hoping for a helpful and "well-exampled" manual like Cisco has... But I can make this work...

Thank you for the feedback on the Cisco Cookbook being useful. I worked with Cisco on the creation and posting of that manual to assist users. I'm currently working with Brocade on the creation of a similar type of Cookbook manual. Any feedback on way to improve documentation or other areas of the Brocade product line are always appreciated.
Thank you.

This is helpful. The command reference manual has an alphabetic list of commands from a - z for all Brocade switch commands.
However, the Cisco web site has some very good manuals called "Cisco Family Cookbook" or something like that, which tells you in chapters - this is how you go about creatiing a zoneset for the first time, and then create aliases, and then create zones, and then activate the zones. It's "process oriented" rather than command oriented. That's what I was hoping for....
