About Recovering from Link Isolation
When two switches in a fabric are merged using a TE or E port, these TE and E ports may become
isolated when the active zone set databases are different between the two switches or fabrics. When a TE
port or an E port become isolated, you can recover that port from its isolated state using one of three
options:
• Import the neighboring switch's active zone set database and replace the current active zone set (see
Figure 30-28).
• Export the current database to the neighboring switch.
• Manually resolve the conflict by editing the full zone set, activating the corrected zone set, and then
bringing up the link.

Importing and Exporting Zone Sets
