TABLE 55 Zone merging scenarios: Defined and effective configurations
Description Switch A Switch B Expected results
Switch A has a defined configuration.
Switch B does not have a defined
configuration.
defined:
cfg1:
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
defined: none
effective: none
Configuration from Switch A to propagate
throughout the fabric in an inactive state,
because the configuration is not enabled.
Switch A has a defined and effective
configuration.
Switch B has a defined configuration
but no effective configuration.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1:
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
Configuration from Switch A to propagate
throughout the fabric. The configuration is
enabled after the merge in the fabric.
Switch A and Switch B have the same
defined configuration. Neither have an
effective configuration.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
No change (clean merge).
Switch A and Switch B have the same
defined and effective configuration.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1:
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1:
No change (clean merge).
Switch A does not have a defined
configuration.
Switch B has a defined configuration.
defined: none
effective: none
defined:cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
Switch A will absorb the configuration from the
fabric.
Switch A does not have a defined
configuration.
Switch B has a defined configuration.
defined: none
effective: none
defined:cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1
Switch A will absorb the configuration from the
fabric, with cfg1 as the effective configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have the same
defined configuration. Only Switch B
has an effective configuration.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1
Clean merge, with cfg1 as the effective
configuration.
Switch A and Switch B have different
defined configurations. Neither have an
enabled zone configuration.
defined: cfg2
zone2: ali3; ali4
effective: none
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: none
Clean merge. The new configuration will be a
composite of the two.
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
cfg2:
zone2: ali3; ali4
effective: none
