Configuring Zones Rules for Merging Zoned Fabrics Certain rules are enforced to ensure that zoning is consistent across the fabric. Table 3 on page 64 summarizes rules for joining two fabrics through an ISL. The following terms are used in the table: ■ Not zoned - No zone set is active in the fabric and the default zone is enabled. In other words, all devices in the fabric are visible to all other devices in the fabric. ■ Zoned - A zone set is active in the fabric and/or the default zone is disabled. In this case, devices can discover other devices that are members of the same zone. ■ Zoning configuration - Combination of the active zone set definition and the default zone state (enabled or disabled). Table 3: Merging Zones Fabric A Not zoned Not zoned Zoned Zoned Fabric B Not zoned Zoned Not zoned Zoned Result Fabrics join successfully. The new fabric remains not zoned. Fabrics join successfully and the active zone set will propagate across the fabric. Fabric A inherits zoning configuration from Fabric B. Fabrics join successfully and the active zone set will propagate across the fabric. Fabric B inherits zoning configuration from Fabric A. Fabrics can merge if the zone names in each fabric are unique. The resulting active zone set is a union of the zones from each fabric. Once you have merged the two zoned fabrics, click the Save active zone set as button in the Zoning view to save the active zone set. If there is a zone name conflict (the same zone name in each fabric) then the zones must have identical members for the fabrics to join. If the two zones have the same name but contain different members, then the E_Ports will segment and the fabrics will not join. 64 Embedded Web Server User Guide
