Chapter Configuring Ports in Access Gateway mode 2 In this chapter •Enabling and disabling Access Gateway mode 7 •Access Gateway mapping 10 •N_Port configurations 15 Enabling and disabling Access Gateway mode Use the following steps to enable and disable Access Gateway mode. After you enable AG mode, some fabric information is erased, such as the zone and security databases. Enabling AG mode is disruptive because the switch is disabled and rebooted. For more information on the ag commands used in these steps, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference. 1. Before enabling or disabling a switch to AG mode, save the current configuration file using the configupload command in case you might need this configuration again. 2. Ensure that no zoning or Admin Domain (AD) transaction buffers are active. If any transaction buffer is active, enabling AG mode will fail with the error, "Failed to clear Zoning/Admin Domain configuration". 3. Verify that the switch is set to Native mode or interopmode 0. a. Issue the switchshow command to verify the switch mode. b. If the switch mode is anything other than 0, issue the interopmode 0 command to set the switch to Native mode. For more information on setting switches to Native mode, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. 4. Enter the ag --modeenable command. switch:admin> ag --modeenable The switch automatically reboots and comes back online in AG mode using a factory default F_Port-to-N_Port mapping. For more information on AG default F_Port-to-N_Port mapping, see Table 5 on page 11. 5. Enter the ag --modeshow command to verify that AG mode is enabled. switch:admin> ag --modeshow Access Gateway mode is enabled. You can display the port mappings and status of the host connections to the fabric on Access Gateway. 6. Enter the ag --mapshow command to display all the mapped ports.
