Adding F_Ports
Adding an F_Port to an N_Ports routes that traffic to and from the fabric through the specified N_Port.
When failover is enabled and the N_Port goes offline or otherwise fails, the F_Port is automatically
routed to another N_Port that is connected to the same fabric.
An F_Port can be assigned to only one N_Port at a time. If the F_Port has been assigned to an another
N_Port, you must remove it from the N_Port before you can add it in this procedure.
To add F_Ports to an N_Port
1.
Connect and log in to the switch.
Enter the
ag
command with the
--mapdel
<n_portnumber
> <
f_portlist
>
operand to remove the
F_Port from the N_Port. Where the
f_portlist
can contain multiple F_Port numbers separated by
semicolons, for example “17;18”.
2.
Enter the
switchshow
command to verify that the F_Port is free (unassigned).
Unassigned F_Port status is
Disabled (No mapping for F-Port)
. See port 6 in the example below.
3.
Enter the
ag
command with the
--mapadd
<n_portnumber
> <
f_portlist
>
operand to add the list
of F_Ports to the N_Port.
