E Zone merging scenarios
Table 98 provides information on merging zones and the expected results.
Table 98 Zone merging scenarios
Description
Switch A with a defined
configuration
Switch B does not have a defined
configuration
Switch A with a defined and
enabled configuration
Switch B has a defined
configuration but no effective
configuration
Switch A and Switch B have the
same defined configuration.
Neither have an enabled
configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have the
same defined and enabled
configuration.
Switch A does not have a defined
configuration
Switch B with a defined
configuration
Switch A does not have a defined
configuration
Switch B with a defined
configuration
Switch A and Switch B have the
same defined configuration. Only
Switch B has an enabled
configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have
different defined configurations.
Neither have an enabled zone
configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have
different defined configurations.
Switch B has an enabled
configuration.

Expected results
Configuration from Switch A to
propagate throughout the fabric in
an inactive state, because the
configuration is not enabled.
Configuration from Switch A to
propagate throughout the fabric.
The configuration is enabled after
the merge in the fabric.
No change (clean merge).
No change (clean merge).
Switch A will absorb the
configuration from the fabric.
Switch A will absorb the
configuration from the fabric - with
cfg1 as the effective cfg.
Clean merge - with cfg1 as the
effective cfg.
Clean merge - the new cfg will be a
composite of the two --
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
cfg2:
zone2: ali3; ali4
effective: none
Clean merge - The new cfg will be
a composite of the two, with cfg1
as the effective cfg.
