264 Administering advanced zoning
Entering these commands causes a merge, making the fabric consistent with the correct configuration.
Zone merging scenarios
Table 66 provides information on merging zones and the expected results.
Table 66 Zone merging scenarios
Description Switch A Switch B Expected results
Switch A has a defined
configuration.
Switch B does not have a defined
configuration.
defined:
cfg1:
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
defined: none
effective: none
Configuration from Switch A will
propagate throughout the fabric in
an inactive state, because the
configuration is not enabled.
Switch A has a defined and enabled
configuration.
Switch B has a defined configuration
but no effective configuration.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1:
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
Configuration from Switch A will
propagate throughout the fabric.
The configuration is enabled after
the merge in the fabric.
Switch A and Switch B have the
same defined configuration. Neither
has an enabled configuration.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
No change (clean merge).
Switch A and Switch B have the
same defined and enabled
configuration.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1:
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1:
No change (clean merge).
Switch A does not have a defined
configuration.
Switch B has a defined
configuration.
defined: none
effective: none
defined:cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
Switch A will absorb the
configuration from the fabric.
Switch A does not have a defined
configuration.
Switch B has a defined
configuration.
defined: none
effective: none
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1
Switch A will absorb the
configuration from the fabric, with
cfg1 as the effective configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have the
same defined configuration. Only
Switch B has an enabled
configuration.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1
Clean merge, with cfg1 as the
effective configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have different
defined configurations. Neither has
an enabled zone configuration.
defined: cfg2
zone2: ali3; ali4
effective: none
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
Clean merge. The new
configuration will be a composite of
the two.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
cfg2:
zone2: ali3; ali4
effective: none
Switch A and Switch B have different
defined configurations. Switch B has
an enabled configuration.
defined: cfg2
zone2: ali3; ali4
effective: none
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1
Clean merge. The new
configuration will be a composite of
the two, with cfg1 as the effective
configuration.
