Configuring Zone Merge Control Policies - Cisco Nexus 5500 Series NX-OS Configuration Manual

Configuring and Managing Zones
Local Database
Contains data.
The merge process operates as follows:
• The software compares the protocol versions. If the protocol versions differ, the ISL is isolated.
• If the protocol versions are the same, then the zone policies are compared. If the zone policies differ,
the ISL is isolated.
• If the zone merge options are the same, the comparison is implemented based on the merge control
setting.
