![]() ![]() You can check this by running switchshow and checking the modeĤ Enable access gateway mode ag -modeenable WARNING: Access Gateway mode changes the standard behavior of the switch. It is important to note that all zoning information on the switch will be lost.ġ Backup the current config of the Brocade switchĢ Check the switch is in native mode = 0. ![]() To put the switch in access gateway mode follow these steps. That’s the theory, lets walk through the steps to implement access gateway mode.īefore you start you need to make sure the upstream switch to the access gateway (AG) switch will connect to has NPIV enabled.Ģ If necessary enable for NPIV using portcfgnpivport Configuring access gateway mode You will cable the hosts into the F ports and the N ports will be connected to the upstream switch. ![]() When you enable access gate way mode a number of ports will automatically be designated as N ports and the rest F ports. This is a way to add more ports to your fabric without the complexity of additional switches containing zone configurations. Brocade switches enabled in access gateway mode act as an extension of the existing fabric, they have no zoning configuration on themselves and all traffic is transferred over uplink ports to a upstream switch containing the zoning information. ![]()
