Table 52 provides information on merging zones and the expected results.
Table 52 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: none
cfg1: none
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
defined: none
effective: none
Configuration from Switch A to
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 to
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 have
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 absorbs 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 absorbs the configuration from
the fabric, with cfg1 as the effective cfg.
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
cfg.
Switch A and Switch B have
different defined
configurations. Neither have
an enabled zone
configuration.
defined: cfg2
zone2: ali3; ali4
effective: none
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
Clean merge. The new cfg is 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 cfg is a
composite of the two, with cfg1 as the
effective cfg.
There is an effective cfg
mismatch.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
defined: cfg2
zone2: ali3; ali4
effective: cfg2
zone2: ali3; ali4
Fabric segments due to a zone conflict
cfg mismatch.
