If not you can amend them as followsġ Before adding into a new port mapping you must remove a port from its existing mapping ag -mapdel N_Port “f_port1 f_port”įor example ag -mapdel 0 "15 16" F_Port to N_Port mapping has been updated successfullyĢ Create the new port mappings -mapadd n_portnumber f_port1 f_port2įor example ag -mapadd 17 "1 2 9 10" WARNING: Mapping F_Port(s) to this N_Port may cause the F_Port(s) to be disabledį_Port to N_Port mapping has been updated successfully If you are happy with the default port mapping you are good to go.

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.
