2 Access Gateway mapping Access Gateway mapping Access Gateway uses mapping-that is, pre-provisioned routes-to direct traffic from the hosts to the fabric. When you first enable a switch to AG mode, by default, the F_Ports are mapped to a set of predefined N_Ports. For the default F_Port-to-N_Port mapping, see Table 4. See the sections on Adding F_Ports to an N_Port if you want to change the default mapping. Figure 4 shows a mapping with eight F_Ports evenly mapped to four N_Ports on a switch in AG mode. The N_Ports connect to the same fabric through different Edge switches.
