Merging Fabrics and Verification
After configuring both the fabrics individually as described above, now the identified E-ports
from both sides can be connected to merge them. The fabric should now reconfigure and
merge itself into a single fabric.
To verify the fabric has merged properly, run the following commands on both M-series and
C-series switch and ensure they are no segmentations or other errors.
On the M-series, Verify the following.
■ Launch the EWS from your Web Browser
■ Select the Monitor option and then Port List Tab
■ Ensure the expected ISL ports show up as E-ports under the column “Type”
On the C-series
