Notes on joining the switch to a fabric 3 Notes on joining the switch to a fabric After the switch reboots when Access Gateway mode is disabled, the default zone is set to no access. Therefore the switch does not imediately join the fabric to which it is connected.

F_Ports 4 Configuring additional F_Ports By default, only the internal ports of Brocade Access Gateway are configured as is the number of ports on the switch minus 1.

Note that the newly configured - HP StorageWorks 2/16V | Brocade Access Gateway Administrator's Guide - Supportin - Page 42
additional F_Ports Unlocking N_Port mode By default, all external ports on Brocade Access Gateway are locked in N_Port mode. Access Gateway supports only two types of ports, N_Ports and F_Ports, because it connects only FCP initiators to the fabric.
