When the APC is enabled, the Access Gateway module automatically discovers the port type. For example, when a switch in AG mode is connected to a port, AG configures the port as an N_Port. If a host is connected to a port on Access Gateway, then AG determines that it is connected and configures the port as an F_Port. After all the port types are determined, dynamic mapping between F_Ports and N_Ports is created and F_Ports are evenly distributed across all N_Ports. While the APC is enabled, you cannot manually configure F_Port-to-N_Port mapping. ATTENTION Enabling the APC policy is disruptive to F_Ports and N_Ports. You must disable the module before you enable the APC policy because when you enable the APC policy, existing F_Port-to-N_Port mappings are deleted. Because the APC policy enforcement erases port mappings existing on the switch, it is recommended to perform a configupload before enabling the APC policy. After you enable the APC policy, the policy immediately takes effect; a reboot is not required. When you disable the APC policy, the N_Port configuration and the F_Port-to-N_Port mapping revert back to the default factory configuration for that platform. The APC policy is mutually exclusive with the Port Grouping policy. When the APC policy is enabled on a switch connected to multiple fabrics, no attempt is made by AG to restrict failover behavior even if the N_Ports are connected to unrelated fabrics. Do not to use the APC policy when Access Gateway is connected to multiple fabrics. 12 Access Gateway Administrator's Guide 53-1001189-01
