Unlocking N_Ports
By default, on embedded switches all external ports are configured in N_Port lock mode when you
enable Access Gateway. Access Gateway connects only FCP initiators and targets to the fabric. It
does not support other types of ports, such as ISL (inter switch link) ports.
By default, on fabric switches the port types are not locked. Fabric OS Native mode dynamically
assigns the port type based on the connected device: F_Ports and FL_Ports for hosts, HBAs, and
storage devices; and E_Ports, EX_Ports, and VE_Ports for connections to other switches.
Unlocking the N_Port configuration automatically changes the port to an F_Port. When you unlock
an N_Port, the F_Ports are automatically unmapped and disabled.
Following are procedures for unlocking N_Ports that are in locked mode.
1.
Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2.
Enter the
portcfgnport
command.
NOTE
The
portcfgnport
command only works when the Port Grouping policy is enabled.
