Analyzing the Results of Merging Zones
Cisco Fabric Manager provides a very useful tool for troubleshooting problems that occur when merging
zones configured on different switches.
Select the Zone Merge option on the Fabric Manager Tools menu to determine if two connected switches
have compatible zone configurations.
Figure 1-4 Zone Merge Analysis Window
The Zone Merge Analysis window displays any inconsistencies between the zone configuration of the
two selected switches.
You can use the following options on the Fabric Manager Tools menu to verify connectivity to a selected
object or to open other management tools:
• Traceroute—Verify connectivity between two end devices that are currently selected on the Map
pane.
• Device Manager— Launch Device Manager for the switch selected on the Map pane.
• Command Line Interface—Open a Telnet or SSH session for the switch selected on the Map pane.
