Description Switch A (Initiator with
pre-FOS 7.3.0) Switch B (Responder
with FOS 7.3.0) Expected results
Different default zone
access mode settings. defzone: allaccess defzone: noaccess Fabric segments due to zone
conflict.
defzone: noaccess defzone: allaccess
Same default zone
access mode settings. defzone: allaccess defzone: allaccess Clean merge -- defzone
