Automatic Port Configuration policy The automatic Port Configuration (APC) policy is disabled by default in Access Gateway. ACP provides the ability to automatically discover port types (host vs. fabric) and dynamically update the routing maps when a new connection is detected. This policy is intended for a fully hands-off operation of Access Gateway. APC dynamically maps F_ports across available N_ports so they are evenly distributed. For example, when a port on AG is connected to a Fabric switch, AG configures the port as an N_Port. If a host is connected to a port on AG, then AG determines that it is connected and configures the port as an F_Port and automatically maps it to an existing N_Port with the least number of F_Ports mapped to it.

ADS policy considerations
The following are considerations for setting the ADS policy:
•
In cascading configurations, you should set the ADS policy on the AG module that directly
connects to the servers.
•
ADS policy can be enabled or disabled independent of status of other AG policies.
Upgrade and downgrade considerations for the ADS policy
Downgrading to Fabric OS v6.2.0 or earlier is supported.
Upgrading from 6.2.0 to 6.3.0 or downgrading from 6.3.0 to 6.2.0 will not change the APC policy
settings.
Automatic Port Configuration policy
The automatic Port Configuration (APC) policy is disabled by default in Access Gateway. ACP
provides the ability to automatically discover port types (host vs. fabric) and dynamically update the
routing maps when a new connection is detected. This policy is intended for a fully hands-off
operation of Access Gateway. APC dynamically maps F_ports across available N_ports so they are
evenly distributed. For example, when a port on AG is connected to a Fabric switch, AG configures
the port as an N_Port. If a host is connected to a port on AG, then AG determines that it is
connected and configures the port as an F_Port and automatically maps it to an existing N_Port
with the least number of F_Ports mapped to it.
