4 Port configurations Port configurations The following mapping updates and adding and removing of ports are only applicable to the Port Grouping policy. Adding F_Ports to an N_Port When you update the mapping, only the F_Ports added or removed are affected. Adding an F_Port to an N_Port routes that traffic to and from the fabric through the specified N_Port. When you enable the failover policy and if the N_Port goes offline or fails, the F_Port automatically routes to another N_Port, which is connected to the same fabric. You can assign an F_Port to only one primary N_Port at a time. If the F_Port is already assigned to an N_Port, you must remove it from the N_Port before you can add it. Use the following procedure to add an F_Port to an N_Port. NOTE For bladed servers, the HBA connects to the internal ports. Internal ports are F_Ports. By default, only the external ports are configured as N_Ports. 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the ag command with the --mapdel operand to remove the F_Port from the N_Port. The f_portlist can contain multiple F_Port numbers separated by semicolons, for example "17;18". switch:admin> ag --mapdel 10 6 F-Port to N-Port mapping has been updated successfully 3. Enter the switchshow command to verify that the F_Port is free (unassigned). Unassigned F_Port status is Disabled (No mapping for F_Port). See port 6 in the following example. switch:admin> switchshow switchName: fsw534_4016 switchType: 45.0 switchState: Online switchMode: Access Gateway Mode switchWwn: 10:00:00:05:1e:02:1d:b0 switchBeacon: OFF Area Port Media Speed State Proto 0 0 cu AN No_Sync 1 1 cu AN No_Sync Disabled (N-Port Offline for F-Port) 2 2 cu AN No_Sync Disabled (N-Port Offline for F-Port) 3 3 cu AN No_Sync Disabled (N-Port Offline for F-Port) 4 4 cu AN No_Sync Disabled (N-Port Offline for F-Port) 5 5 cu AN No_Sync Disabled (N-Port Offline for F-Port) 6 6 cu AN No_Sync Disabled (No mapping for F-Port) 7 7 cu AN No_Sync 8 8 cu AN No_Sync 9 9 cu AN No_Sync 10 10 -- N4 No_Module 11 11 -- N4 No_Module 12 12 -- N4 No_Module 50 Access Gateway Administrator's Guide 53-1001189-01
