The software compares the protocol versions. If the protocol versions differ, then the ISL is isolated.
If the protocol versions are the same, then the zone policies are compared. If the zone policies differ,
then the ISL is isolated.
If the zone merge options are the same, then the comparison is implemented based on the merge
control setting.
If the setting is restrict, the active zone set and the full zone set should be identical. Otherwise,
