Modifying the port configuration 15 FIGURE 88 Access Gateway Device Display Modifying the port configuration You can configure the port types (N_Port, F_Port) on each individual port on an Access Gateway enabled module. When you configure ports, you can specify a global configuration policy using the Port Configuration Policy button. By default, Advanced is selected and sets the initial defaults for port types, groups, and the F-port to N-port mappings. When the policy is Automatic, the port type assignments and mappings are configured automatically based on device and switch connections and internal load-balancing, and grouping and user controls are disabled. When you configure ports, perform the tasks in the following order: • Configure N-Ports, if necessary. Use the Edit Configuration button to configure a port. • Configure N-Port groups • Configure F-Port to N-Port mappings You can set up primary and secondary mappings. The secondary mapping is the N-Port to which an F-Port is mapped when the primary N-Port mapping goes offline. Creating port groups You can group a number of N_ports (and their mapped F_ports) together to connect to multiple independent fabrics or to create performance optimized ports. To group a number of ports, you must create a new port group and assign desired N_ports to it. The N_port grouping option is enabled by default, and all N_ports are members of a default port group 0 (pg0). Access Gateway prevents failover of F_ports across N_port groups Web Tools Administrator's Guide 189 53-1000606-01
