SG0-001 · Question #304
Which three (3) processes occur during a fabric merge? (Choose three.)
The correct answer is B. zone set passing D. principle switch negotiation E. name server communication. During a Fibre Channel fabric merge, key processes include the negotiation for a principal switch, the exchange and synchronization of zone sets, and communication among name servers to update device registrations.

Why each option
During a Fibre Channel fabric merge, key processes include the negotiation for a principal switch, the exchange and synchronization of zone sets, and communication among name servers to update device registrations.
Time-Out Value (TOV) distribution is a parameter related to fabric operation but not a primary, distinct "process" that occurs during a fabric merge in the same way as zone set passing or principal switch negotiation.
During a fabric merge, switches exchange their active zone sets to ensure a unified and consistent access control policy across the newly combined fabric.
FSPF (Fabric Shortest Path First) is the routing protocol used in Fibre Channel fabrics, but "FSPF trunk distribution" is not a specific, distinct process that occurs during a fabric merge; rather, FSPF is already active and adapts as the fabric topology changes.
A critical step in fabric merging is the principal switch negotiation, where switches elect a single principal switch that will manage the fabric's domain IDs and provide other fabric services.
Name servers on the merging switches communicate and synchronize their device registration databases to ensure all devices in the new, larger fabric are correctly identified and accessible.
