20 Fabric Interoperability: Merging Fabrics Based on C-Series and B-Series Fibre Channel Switches Application Notes
B-series switches
Using the telnet on B-series switches verify that the zoning information has propagated
properly. On B-series you will see the active configuration as well as any defined
configurations that are not part of active configuration.

Defined configuration:
cfg: bzones bz1, bz2
zone: bz1 10:00:00:00:c9:24:3d:90; 50:06:01:60:88:02:90:cb
zone: bz2
10:00:00:00:c9:24:3f:75; 21:00:00:20:37:a7:ca:b7;
21:00:00:20:37:a7:c7:e0; 21:00:00:20:37:a7:c7:df
Effective configuration:
cfg: mdscore
zone: vz1 50:06:01:60:88:02:90:cb
10:00:00:00:c9:24:3d:90

Any other B-series switches in the same fabric should display the same information.
All switches in the Fabric now have the correct zoning information.
Creating zones on the B-Series
We will now create the zones and a zoneset on the B-series. It will be activated, and we will
then verify each switch in the fabric has the correct zoning in place. The zone members in the
examples will be the same as used in the previous example, but the zone names and zoneset
name will change.
We will start by clearing the zoning configuration. If this switch is part of the fabric, all
switches will have no zoning in effect after this command is issued.
