topology using the following information:

Transit VSAN information is common to all IVR zone sets. Sometimes, a transit VSAN can also act
as an edge VSAN in another IVR zone.
Border switches require Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(1) or later.
A border switch must be a member of two or more VSANs.
A border switch that facilities IVR communications must be IVR enabled.
IVR can (optionally) be enabled on additional border switches to provide redundant paths between

The VSAN topology configuration must be updated before a border switch is added or removed.
