4 N_Ports By default, on embedded switches, all external ports are configured as 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 (interswitch link) ports. The port types on a fabric switch 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. Displaying N_Port configurations 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the portcfgnport command. switch:admin> portcfgnport Ports 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Locked N_Port ON ON ON ON ON ON Verifying port mapping and status You can display the port mappings and status of the host connections to the fabric on Access Gateway using the ag --mapshow command.
