8. Enter the zoning running-config defined-configuration command to view the defined zone
configuration.
9. Enter the zoning enabled-configuration cfg-name command to enable cfg2.
10.Verify the enabled zoning configuration, by means of the show zoning enabled-configuration
command.

Merging zones
This section provides the background needed to merge zones successfully. The tables at the end of
this section summarize scenarios involving Switch A and Switch B and the results to be expected
following a merge.
Preconditions for zone merging
When a new switch is added to a VCS fabric, it automatically inherits the zone configuration
information from the fabric. You can verify the zone configuration on any switch by using the
procedure described in
Viewing the defined configuration on page 182. Take care to avoid
mismatched enabled-configuration scenarios.
CAUTION
When edits are made to the defined configuration, and those edits affect a currently enabled
zone configuration, issuing a "cfg-save" command makes the enabled configuration effectively
stale. Until the enabled configuration is reenabled, the merging of new RBridges into the
cluster is not recommended. This merging may cause unpredictable results, with the potential
for mismatched enabled-zoning configurations among the RBridges in the cluster.
