FIGURE 63 Access Gateway to HBA
Static-static and static (HBA) - dynamic (AG) D_Port modes are supported.
Saving port mappings on an Access Gateway
Before configuring ports as D_Ports on a switch configured as an Access Gateway, you must remove N_Port-to-F_Port and device
(WWN) mappings. Fabric OS commands are available to save N_Port mappings. Once you save them, you can display the saved
N_Port mappings to reconfigure them after D_Port is disabled. A command is also available to delete saved N_Port mappings.
For more details, refer to Chapter 2, "Configuring Ports in Access Gateway Mode," in the
Access Gateway Administrator's Guide
.
Topology 4: HBA to switch
The following figure illustrates connectivity between an HBA and a switch. The letter "F" represents an F_Port to be configured as a
D_Port. This topology supports static-static and dynamic (switch) - static (HBA) D_Port mode. In dynamic mode, the switch port does
not need to be configured explicitly as a D_Port. It comes up in D_Port mode when it receives a request from the remote port.
