Check for Zoning Discrepancies
To determine if zoning might be causing a communication problem between
devices:
1. Enter the cfgShow command to determine if zoning is enabled.
If zoning is enabled, it is possible that the problem is being caused by a zoning
conflict, that is, two devices in different zones cannot see each other.
Example:
2. Confirm that the specific edge devices that need to communicate with each
other are in the same zone.
— If they are, zoning is not causing the communication problem.
— If they are not, and zoning is enabled, continue to step 3
3. Resolve zoning conflicts by putting the devices into the same zoning
configuration.
See “ Basic Zone Merge Correction Procedure ”.
