You can set a switch in Access Gateway mode to transform them into a device management tool that is compatible with different types of fabrics, including Brocade Enterprise OS (EOS), and Cisco-based fabrics. When a switch is in Access Gateway mode, it is logically transparent to the host and the fabric. Brocade Access Gateway mode allows hosts to access the fabric without increasing the number of switches and simplifies configuration and management in a large fabric by reducing the number of domain IDs and ports. Access Gateway mode is available on the following Brocade switches: • 5100 • 5410 • 5424 • 5450 • 5460 • 5470 • 5480 • 8000 • 300, • Brocade Encryption Switch For detailed descriptions of the Access Gateway, refer to the Brocade Access Gateway Administrator's Guide.
