Service Group Activation
A configured service group must be activated for it take effect. Like zoneset activation or VSAN
topology activation, the activation of a configured service group replaces the currently activate service
group, if any, with the configured one. There is only one configured service group database and one
active service group database. Each of these databases can have up to 16 service groups.
IVR Interoperability
When using the IVR feature, all border switches in a given fabric must be Cisco MDS switches.
However, other switches in the fabric may be non-MDS switches. For example, end devices that are
members of the active IVR zone set may be connected to non-MDS switches. Non-MDS switches may
also be present in the transit VSAN(s) or in the edge VSANs if one of the interop modes is enabled.

IVR Configuration Task List
To configure IVR in a SAN fabric, follow these steps:
Determine whether to use IVR Network Address Translation (NAT).
Step 1
Step 2
If you do not plan to use IVR NAT, verify that unique domain IDs are configured in all switches and
VSANs participating in IVR.
Enable IVR in the border switches.
Step 3
Configure the service group as required.
Step 4
Step 5
Configure fabric distribution as required.
Step 6
Configure the IVR topology, either manually or automatically.
Create and activate IVR zone sets in all of the IVR-enabled border switches, either manually or using
Step 7
fabric distribution.
Verify the IVR configuration.
Step 8
