Enabling failover and failback policies The failover and failback policies determine the behavior of the F_Port if the N_Port they are mapped to goes OFFLINE or is disabled. By default, the failover and failback policies are enabled. A switch in Access Gateway mode supports automatic N_Port failover to other N_Ports connected to the same fabric. When a port is first configured as an N_Port, the failover policy is enabled by default. If the N_Port goes offline, the F_Ports mapped to that N_Port are automatically failed over to other online N_Ports connected to the same fabric. If there are multiple online N_Ports connected to the same fabric, the mapped F_Ports are distributed evenly between the N_Ports. Failover generates an error message. A switch in Access Gateway mode supports automatic F_Port failback to N_Ports when that port comes back online. By default the failback policy is enabled. When an N_Port with an enabled failback policy comes back online, the F_Ports that were originally mapped to it are automatically rerouted back to the N_Port. To enable N Port failover policies 1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Administration window. 2. Click the FC Ports tab. 3. Click the Edit Configuration button. 4.
