N_Ports
4
By default, on embedded switches, all external ports are configured as N_Port lock mode when you
enable Access Gateway. Access Gateway connects only FCP initiators and targets to the fabric. It
does not support other types of ports, such as ISL (interswitch link) ports.
The port types on a fabric switch are not locked. Fabric OS Native mode dynamically assigns the
port type based on the connected device: F_Ports and FL_Ports for hosts, HBAs, and storage
devices; and E_Ports, EX_Ports, and VE_Ports for connections to other switches.
Displaying N_Port configurations
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
Enter the
portcfgnport
command.

Verifying port mapping and status
You can display the port mappings and status of the host connections to the fabric on Access
Gateway using the

Use the following parameters:
N_Port
The numbers of ports locked in N_Port mode.
Configured F_Ports
The F_Ports that are mapped to the corresponding N_Port.
Current F_Ports
Shows the F_Ports that are currently connected to the fabric on
the corresponding N_Port.
In the case of failover, the current F_Ports and configured
F_Ports differ.
Failover and Failback
Indicates whether the N_Port policy is enabled (1) or disabled
(0).
PG_ID and PG_Name
Indicates whether the Port Grouping policy is enabled (1) or
disabled (0).
