In this case, you must group the N_Ports connected to the redundant fabric into a single port group. It is recommended to have paths fail over to the redundant fabric when the primary fabric goes down. Refer to Figure 9.

Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the ag --pgadd command with the appropriate operands to add an N_Port to a specific port group. In the following example N_Port 14 is added to port group 3. Note that if you add more than one N_Ports, you must separate them with a semicolon. switch:admin> ag --pgadd 3 14 N_Port[s] are added to the port group 3 34 Access Gateway Administrator's Guide 53-1001760-01
