Port Grouping policy 3 5. Enter the agautomapbalance --show command to display the automatic login redistribution settings for port groups.

For more details on this command and its output, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual. Considerations when disabling Automatic Login Balancing mode Consider the following when disabling Automatic Login Balancing mode: • Be aware that modifying Automatic Login Balancing mode default settings using the agautomapbalance command may yield uneven distribution of F_Ports to N_Ports. In such cases, you might consider a manual login distribution that forces a rebalancing of F_Ports to N_Ports. • To control automatic rebalancing to avoid disruptions when the Port Grouping policy is enabled, refer to "Rebalancing F_Ports" on page 44. Enabling MFNM mode 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the ag --pgsetmodes command with the appropriate options to enable MFNM mode. This command changes the monitoring mode from "default" to "managed." In the following example, MFNM mode is enabled for port group 3. switch:admin> ag --pgsetmodes 3 "mfnm" Managed Fabric Name Monitoring mode has been enabled for Port Group 3 Disabling MFNM mode 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the ag --pgdelmodes command with the appropriate options to disable MFNM mode. In the following example, MFNM mode is disabled for port group 3. switch:admin> ag --pgdelmodes 3 "mfnm" Managed Fabric Name Monitoring mode has been disabled for Port Group 3 3. Enter the ag --pgshow command to display the port group configuration. If disabled, "mfnm" should not display under PG_Mode for port 3.
