Enabling Access Gateway mode

Using the CLI to enable Access Gateway mode
Enabling Access Gateway mode is a disruptive process; the switch is disabled and rebooted. Once you
enable Access Gateway mode, only a limited subset of Fabric OS commands are available and all
fabric-related service requests are forwarded to the fabric switches. See Appendix D, “Access Gateway
Commands and Messages”.
Table 2-1 describes the commands used to enable Access Gateway mode:
Note
If you are converting an existing switch to a Brocade Access Gateway, save the switch configuration
before enabling Access Gateway mode.
