To convert an N-port to an F-port

When you convert an N-port to an F-port, any F-ports mapped to the N-port become unmapped.

Traffic is interrupted and the ports will be offline until they are manually mapped to an N-port.

NOTE

To prevent traffic interruption, it is recommended that you reassign any F-ports mapped to the N-port

you are converting before you convert the N-port.
