TABLE 55
Zone merging scenarios: Defined and effective configurations
Description
Switch A has a defined configuration.
Switch B does not have a defined
configuration.
Switch A has a defined and effective
configuration.
Switch B has a defined configuration
but no effective configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have the same
defined configuration. Neither have an
effective configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have the same
defined and effective configuration.
Switch A does not have a defined
configuration.
Switch B has a defined configuration.
Switch A does not have a defined
configuration.
Switch B has a defined configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have the same
defined configuration. Only Switch B
has an effective configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have different
defined configurations. Neither have an
enabled zone configuration.

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