• In Fabric OS Native mode, the switch provides up to 48 external Fibre Channel ports. These

universal and self-configuring ports are capable of becoming one of the following port types:

‐ F_Port (fabric enabled)

‐ E_Port (expansion port)

‐ M_Port (mirror port)

• In Access Gateway mode, the switch also provides up to 48 external Fibre Channel ports. However,

these ports are configured as N_Ports, and you cannot reconfigure these as any other port type.

Access Gateway default port mapping

The following table lists the port mappings of F_Ports to N_Ports.

Disabling and enabling Access Gateway mode

This section provides steps to disable and enable Access Gateway mode using Fabric OS commands.

For more information on using these commands, refer to the “Enabling and disabling Access Gateway

mode” section in the Access Gateway Administrator's Guide or the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide .

NOTE

You can also disable and enable Access Gateway mode using Web Tools. Refer to the See the Web

Tools Administrator’s Guide for more information.

Enabling Access Gateway mode

Note the following when enabling Access Gateway mode:

• After you enable AG mode, some fabric information is erased, such as the zone and security

databases.

• Enabling AG mode is disruptive because the switch is disabled and rebooted.

• Ensure that no zoning or Admin Domain (AD) transaction buffers are active. If any transaction buffer

is active, enabling Access Gateway mode will fail with the error, “Failed to clear Zoning/Admin

Domain configuration.”
