Port Grouping policy considerations Following are the considerations for the Port Grouping policy: • A port cannot be a member of more than one port group. • The PG policy is enabled by default in Fabric OS 6.0 and higher. A default port group "0" (PG0) is created, which contains all ports on the AG. • APC policy and PG policy are mutually exclusive. You cannot enable these policies at the same time. 28 Access Gateway Administrator's Guide 53-1001345-01
