Resulting Database Size: 0 To 96K; Resulting Database Size: 96K To 128K - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base User Manual

Symmetrical segmentation occurs when both ends of an ISL are shut down. Subsequently, no frames are
exchanged between the two switches.
Asymemetrical segmentation not only prevents frames from being exchanged between switches, but also
causes routing inconsistencies.
The best way to avoid either type of segmentation is to know the zone database size limit of adjacent
switches. Table 36
after a zone merge is specified.
