Fabric and Edge switch configuration 4 • Disable long distance mode. • Allow multiple logins for M-EOS switches. The recommended fabric login setting is the maximum allowed per port and per switch. • Use only WWN zoning for devices behind AG. • If DCC security is being used on Edge switches that directly connect to AG, make sure to include the Access Gateway WWN or the port WWN of the N_Ports. Also include the HBA WWNs that will be connected to AG F_Ports to the ACL list in the ACL policy. It is recommended to use AG ADS policy instead of the DCC policy on the Edge switch. • Allow inband queries for forwarded fabric management requests from the hosts. Add the Access Gateway switch WWN to the access list if inband queries are restricted. Before connecting Access Gateway to classic Brocade switches, disable the Fabric OS Management Server Platform Service to get accurate statistical and configuration fabric data, Verifying the switch mode 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the switchShow command to display the current switch configuration.
