Enabling the failback policy
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 failback
1.
Connect and log in to the switch.
2.
Enter the
ag --failbackshow
command with the
n_portnumber
operand to display the failover
setting.
3.
Enter the
ag --failbackenable
command with the
n_portnumber
operand to enable failover.
To disable failback
1.
Connect and log in to the switch.
2.
Enter the
ag --failbackshow
command with the
n_portnumber
operand to display the failover
setting.
3.
Enter the
ag --failbackdisable
command with the
n_portnumber
operand to disable failover.
switch:admin> ag --failbackshow 13
Failback on N_Port 13 is not supported
switch:admin> ag --failbackenable 13
Failback policy is enabled for port 133
switch:admin> ag --failbackshow 13
