Description Switch A Switch B Expected results
Switch A and Switch B
have the same defined
configuration. Neither have
an enabled configuration. defined: cfg1 zone1:

10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8a;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8b

No change (clean merge).
Switch A and Switch B
have the same defined and
enabled configuration. defined: cfg1 zone1:

No change (clean merge).
Switch A does not have a
defined configuration.
Switch B has a defined
configuration.

10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8a;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8b

Switch A absorbs the configuration
from the fabric.
Switch A does not have a
defined configuration.
Switch B has a defined and
enabled configuration.
defined: none

defined:cfg1 zone1:
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8a;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8b
enabled: cfg1
Switch A absorbs the configuration
from the fabric, with cfg1 as the
enabled configuration.
Switch A and Switch B
have the same defined
configuration. Only Switch B
has an enabled
configuration. defined: cfg1 zone1:
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8a;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8b

10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8a;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8b
enabled: cfg1
Clean merge, with cfg1 as the enabled
configuration.
Switch A and Switch B
have different defined
configurations. Neither have
an enabled configuration. defined: cfg2 zone2:
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8c;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8d

defined: cfg1 zone1:
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8a;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8b
enabled: none
Clean merge. The new configuration
will be a composite of the two.
defined: cfg1 zone1:
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8a;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8b
defined: cfg2 zone2:
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8c;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8d
enabled: none
Switch A and Switch B
have different defined
configurations. Switch B has
an enabled configuration. defined: cfg2 zone2:
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8c;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8d

10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8a;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8b
enabled: cfg1
Clean merge. The new configuration is
a composite of both, with cfg1 as the
enabled configuration.
Switch A does not have a
defined configuration.
Switch B has a defined
configuration and an enabled
configuration, but the
enabled configuration is
different from the defined
configuration.
defined: none
enabled: none
defined: cfg1 zone1:
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8a;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8b
effective: cfg1
zone1: 10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8a;
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8b
zone2: 10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8c,
10:00:00:90:69:00:00:8d
Clean merge. Switch A absorbs the
defined configuration from the fabric,
with cfg1 as the effective configuration.
In this case, however, the effective
configurations for Switch A and
Switch B are different. You should
issue a zoning enabled-configuration
cfg-name command from the switch
with the proper effective configuration.
