2 ag Operands AG is supported only on selected Brocade hardware platforms. Refer to the Access Gateway Administrator's Guide for Hardware support and AG configuration procedures. In non-AG mode, the only two actions available are --modeenable and --modeshow. This command has the following operands: --help Displays the command usage. --show Displays the current configuration of the Access Gateway. This includes all N_Ports and F_Ports that are currently online, failover and failback settings as well as any online F_Ports that are currently mapped to N_Ports. Failover and failback policies are displayed as enabled (1) or disabled (0). --modeshow Displays the current Access Gateway operating mode of the switch as either enabled or disabled. --modeenable Enables Access Gateway mode on a switch. Long distance mode settings should be cleared for all ports on the NPIV edge switch to which the AG is connected. Otherwise, the NPIV switch port displays the long distance port type along with the F_Port. --modedisable Disables Access Gateway mode on a switch. After AG mode is disabled, the switch reboots automatically and comes online with default zone access set to "No Access". In order to merge the switch to a fabric, set the default zone to "All Access" and disable/enable the E_Port. --policyshow Displays the supported AG port policies and their status as either enabled or disabled. AG supports four types of policies: • Port Grouping (pg) policy: This policy manages failover of an F_Port to a set of related N_Ports in a port group. • Auto Port Configuration (auto): When this policy is enabled, the AG enabled switch automatically detects available ports and maps F_Ports to N_Ports. Auto port configuration is disabled by default. • Advanced Device Security (ADS) policy. This policy restricts access to the fabric at the AG level to a set of authorized devices. Unauthorized access is rejected and the system logs a RASLOG message. You can configure the list of allowed devices for each F_Port by specifying their Port WWN. Refer to the ag --ads* commands for information on managing advanced device security. ADS policy is disabled by default, which means that all devices can connect to the switch. • WWN Based Load Balancing policy: This policy routes device logins to the least loaded port in the port group to which they are mapped. --policyenable policy Enables the specified port policy for the Access Gateway. When a new policy is enabled, all port related configuration settings are lost. Use the configUpload command to save the current port configuration. Valid policies are: pg Enables the port grouping policy. A default port group "pg0" is created, which includes all configured N_Ports assigned to the policy. Enabling port grouping policy disables the Get Fabric Name policy. 22 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001764-02
