ISSUES: Setting up ISL Link between Brocade 3900 and 12k

[dharmveer]

After creating link between these two switches, the output of 'switchshow' command on switch 3900 is as below. Can anybody tell me why i am getting zone conflict message on E-Port:

D1_3900:admin> switchshow
switchName: D1_3900
switchType: 12.4
switchState: Online
switchMode: Native
switchRole: Principal
switchDomain: 1
switchId: fffc01
switchWwn: 10:00:00:60:69:90:15:46
zoning: ON (zoneSet16439)
switchBeacon: OFF

My zone settings on switch 3900 are as below:


Defined configuration:
cfg: zoneSet16439
test_zone
zone: SL74_1A_SWGEMULEXLP9002DC02_1
10:00:00:00:C9:2E:30:2A; 50:06:0E:80:00:42:82:82

Effective configuration:
cfg: zoneSet16439
zone: test_zone
10:00:00:60:69:80:04:c6
10:00:00:60:69:90:15:46

switch 12k has no configuration enable.

Please post a "switchshow" for the 12k switch.

Hi,

Are you using trunking for the ISL?

I looks like both switches are acting as the trunk master.

[Uwe Zessin]

Trunking on a Brocade switch only works within the ports of a single ASIC. "Trunk master" refers to the port within that ASIC which, well, is the "Trunk master". It is OK to see "Trunk master" on both switches.

Does the 12K switch have a defined zoning configuration?

[Steven Clementi]

It looks like you have zoning configured on both switches. I would look over the zoning on both switches and make sure there are no conflicts. Better yet, disable zoning on the 12k, add the isl and redefine the zoning.

"zoning: ON (zoneSet16439)" on both switches.

Hi
We have solved this problem.
The process followed on both switches as:

1. cfgclear
2. cfgsave
3. reboot
4. cfgcreate (on either switch)

It's fine now.
Thanks to everybody.
