Administering Advanced Zoning ∙ Table 68: Default access mode ∙ Table 72: Mixed Fabric OS versions TABLE 64 Zone merging scenarios: Defined and effective configurations Description Switch A Switch B Expected results Switch A has a defined configuration. Switch B does not have a defined configuration. defined:cfg1: zone1: ali1; ali2effective: defined: none effective: none none Configuration from Switch A to propagate throughout the fabric in an inactive state, because the configuration is not enabled. Switch A has a defined and effective configuration. Switch B has a defined configuration but no effective configuration. Switch A and Switch B have the same defined configuration. Neither have an effective configuration. Switch A and Switch B have the same defined and effective configuration. defined: cfg1zone1: ali1; ali2 effective: cfg1: defined: cfg1zone1: ali1; ali2 effective: none defined: cfg1zone1: ali1; ali2effective: cfg1: defined: cfg1zone1: ali1; ali2 effective: none defined: cfg1zone1: ali1; ali2effective: none defined: cfg1zone1: ali1; ali2 effective: cfg1: Configuration from Switch A to propagate throughout the fabric. The configuration is enabled after the merge in the fabric. No change (clean merge). No change (clean merge). Switch A does not have a defined configuration. defined: noneeffective: none defined:cfg1zone1: ali1; ali2 effective: Switch A will absorb the none configuration from the fabric. Switch B has a defined configuration. Switch A does not have a defined configuration. Switch B has a defined configuration. Switch A and Switch B have the same defined configuration. Only Switch B has an effective configuration. Switch A and Switch B have different defined configurations. Neither have an enabled zone configuration. defined: noneeffective: none defined:cfg1zone1: ali1; ali2effective: cfg1 Switch A will absorb the configuration from the fabric, with cfg1 as the effective configuration. defined: cfg1zone1: ali1; ali2effective: defined: cfg1zone1: ali1; ali2effective: Clean merge, with cfg1 as the none cfg1 effective 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. Brocade Fabric OS Administration Guide, 8.0.1 334 53-1004111-02
