When the APC is enabled, the Access Gateway module automatically discovers the port type. For example, when a switch in AG mode is connected to a port, AG configures the port as an N_Port. If a host is connected to a port on Access Gateway, then AG determines that it is connected and configures the port as an F_Port. After all the port types are determined, dynamic mapping between F_Ports and N_Ports is created and F_Ports are evenly distributed across all N_Ports. While the APC is enabled, you cannot manually configure F_Port-to-N_Port mapping. ATTENTION Enabling the APC policy is disruptive to F_Ports and N_Ports. You must disable the module before you enable the APC policy because when you enable the APC policy, existing F_Port-to-N_Port mappings are deleted. Because the APC policy enforcement erases port mappings existing on the switch, it is recommended to perform a configupload before enabling the APC policy. After you enable the APC policy, the policy immediately takes effect; a reboot is not required. When you disable the APC policy, the N_Port configuration and the F_Port-to-N_Port mapping revert back to the default factory configuration for that platform. The APC policy is mutually exclusive with the Port Grouping policy. When the APC policy is enabled on a switch connected to multiple fabrics, no attempt is made by AG to restrict failover behavior even if the N_Ports are connected to unrelated fabrics. Do not to use the APC policy when Access Gateway is connected to multiple fabrics. 12 Access Gateway Administrator's Guide 53-1001189-01

Automatic Port Configuration policy
Automatic Port Configuration (APC) is an optional AG policy and is disabled by default. When the
APC is enabled, the Access Gateway module automatically discovers the port type. For example,
when a switch in AG mode is connected to a port, AG configures the port as an N_Port. If a host is
connected to a port on Access Gateway, then AG determines that it is connected and configures the
port as an F_Port.
After all the port types are determined, dynamic mapping between F_Ports and N_Ports is created
and F_Ports are evenly distributed across all N_Ports. While the APC is enabled, you cannot
manually configure F_Port-to-N_Port mapping.
ATTENTION
Enabling the APC policy is disruptive to F_Ports and N_Ports. You must disable the module before
you enable the APC policy because when you enable the APC policy, existing F_Port-to-N_Port
mappings are deleted. Because the APC policy enforcement erases port mappings existing on the
switch, it is recommended to perform a
configupload
before enabling the APC policy. After you
enable the APC policy, the policy immediately takes effect; a reboot is not required. When you disable
the APC policy, the N_Port configuration and the F_Port-to-N_Port mapping revert back to the default
factory configuration for that platform.
The APC policy is mutually exclusive with the Port Grouping policy. When the APC policy is enabled
on a switch connected to multiple fabrics, no attempt is made by AG to restrict failover behavior
even if the N_Ports are connected to unrelated fabrics. Do not to use the APC policy when Access
Gateway is connected to multiple fabrics.
