Configuring Access Gateway
This chapter describes the initial set up required to deploy Brocade Access Gateway.
This chapter covers the following topics:
•
“Verifying the fabric and edge switch settings”
on page 2-1
•
“Enabling Access Gateway mode”
on page 2-2
Verifying the fabric and edge switch settings
In order to connect hosts to the fabric using Access Gateway, configure the fabric using the following
parameters. The listed parameters apply to Brocade-, McDATA-, and Cisco-based fabrics:
•
Configure the F_Ports on the edge switch to which Access Gateway is connected as follows:
•
Enable NPIV.
•
Disable long distance mode.
•
Allow multiple logins. The recommended fabric login setting is set to the maximum allowed
per port and per switch.
•
Use only WWN zoning throughout the fabric. Access Gateway does not support domain ID and
other types of zoning schemes.
•
Include either Access Gateway WWN or the N_Port and F_Port WWNs in ACL policies.
•
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.
Note
Install and configure the switch as described in the switch’s
Hardware Reference Manual
before
performing these procedures.
Note
Before connecting Access Gateway to a Brocade-based fabric, disable Fabric OS Management Server
Platform Service. After Access Gateway is connected, you can reenable the service.
