Which difference between device-alias and fcalias?
05-07-2009 02:18 AM
FCalias is used for zoning only.
FCalias can contain multiple PWWNs
FCalias is configured per VSAN
FCalias is propagated via distributing the full zoneset.
Device alias is 1 PWWN
Device alias can be use for multiple functions like port security, IVR, and zoning.
Device alias is not VSAN specific
Device alias is distributed via CFS (Cisco Fabric Service)
Best Practice is to use Device Alias if the fabric is made up only Cisco MDS.
Hope this helps,
Mike
