2 Port Grouping policy You can create new port groups and add N_Ports to those groups. However, all N_Ports that are not part of any user-created port group are part of the default port group pg0. Because port groups cannot be overlapped, if you specify an N_Port as a Preferred Secondary N_Port and it already belongs to another port group, the Port Group creation fails. NOTE If the PG policy is disabled while a switch in AG mode is online, all the user-defined port groups are deleted, but the F_Port-to-N_Port mapping remain unchanged. Creating a port group 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the command ag --pgcreate with the " [-n ] operands. For example, to create a port group "FirstFabric" that includes N_Ports 1 and 3: switch:admin> ag --pgcreate 3 "1;3" -n FirstFabric1 Port Group 3 created successfully 3. Enter the command ag --pgshow to verify the port group was created. switch:admin> ag --pgshow Port Group ID Port Group Name 0 None pg0 2 0;2 SecondFabric 3 1;3 FirstFabric Adding an N_Port to a port group 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the command ag --pgadd with the " operands. If you add more than one N_Port you must separate them with a semicolon. switch:admin> ag --pgadd 3 14 N_Port[s] are added to the port group 3 3. Enter the command ag --pgshow to verify the N_Port was added to the specified port group. switch:admin> ag --pgshow PG_ID N_Ports PG_Name 0 15 pg0 3 12;13;14 Test Deleting an N_Port from a port group 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the command ag --pgdel with the operands. switch:admin> ag --pgdel 3 13 N_Port[s] are added to the port group 3 20 Access Gateway Administrator's Guide 53-1001189-01
