  • Validate zoning on both the switches in the fabric. 
    • The example shows validated zone members that match or partially match the specified zone name:
switch:admin> zoneshow --validate zone1
Defined configuration:
 zone:    zone1    20:1c:00:05:xx:xx:xx:xx*; 20:1d:00:05:xx:xx:xx:xx
 
Effective configuration:
 zone:    zone1    20:1c:00:05:xx:xx:xx:xx*
        20:1d:00:05:xx:xx:xx:xx
