Zone merging scenarios: Defined and effective configurations (Continued) TABLE 64
Description Switch A Switch B Expected results
Switch A and Switch B have
the same defined configuration.
Neither have an effective
configuration. defined: cfg1zone1:
ali1; ali2 effective:
none defined: cfg1zone1: ali1;
ali2effective: none No change (clean merge).
Switch A and Switch B have
the same defined and effective
configuration. defined: cfg1zone1:
ali1; ali2effective:
cfg1: defined: cfg1zone1: ali1;
ali2 effective: cfg1: No change (clean merge).
Switch A does not have a
defined configuration.
Switch B has a defined
configuration.
defined:
noneeffective: none defined:cfg1zone1: 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:
noneeffective: none defined:cfg1zone1: ali1;
ali2effective: 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: cfg1zone1:
ali1; ali2effective:
none defined: cfg1zone1: ali1;
ali2effective: 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: cfg2zone2:
ali3; ali4 effective:
none defined: cfg1zone1: ali1;
ali2effective: none Clean merge. The new
configuration will be a
composite of the two.defined:
cfg1 zone1: ali1; ali2 cfg2:
zone2: ali3; ali4 effective:
none
Switch A and Switch B have
different defined configurations.
Switch B has an effective
configuration. defined: cfg2zone2:
ali3; ali4effective:
none defined: cfg1zone1: ali1;
ali2effective: cfg1 Clean merge. The new
configuration will be a
composite of the two, with cfg1
as the effective configuration.
Switch A does not have a
defined configuration.
Switch B has a defined
configuration and an effective
configuration, but the effective
configuration is different from
the defined configuration.
defined: none
effective: none
defined: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
effective: cfg1
zone1: ali1; ali2
zone2: ali3, ali4
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
cfgenable from the switch with
the proper effective
configuration.
