Resolving a Link Isolation Because of a Failed Zone Merge Using the CLI

The following CLI commands are used to resolve a failed zone merge:
•
•
To resolve a link isolation because of a failed zone merge using the CLI, follow these steps:
Use the show interface command to confirm that the port is isolated because of a zone merge failure.
Step 1
switch# show interface fc2/14
fc2/14 is down (Isolation due to zone merge failure)
An E port is segmented (isolation due to zone merge failure) if the following conditions are true:
•
•
Verify the zoning information, using the following commands on each switch:
Step 2
•
•
You can use two different approaches to resolve a zone merge failure by overwriting the zoning
Step 3
configuration of one switch with the other switch's configuration. This can be done with either of the
following commands:
•
•
The import option of the command overwrites the local switch's active zone set with that of the remote
switch. The export option overwrites the remote switch's active zone set with the local switch's active
zone set.

The active zone sets on the two switches differ from each other in terms of zone membership
(provided there are zones at either side with identical names).
The active zone set on both switches contain a zone with the same name but with different zone
members.
