Setup Guide

Use an asterisk enclosed in quotation marks ("*") to set the allow list to “all access.” Use a pair of double quotation marks ("") to set the
allow list to “no access.”
Consider the following characteristics of the allow list:
∙ The maximum number of device entries allowed in the allow list is twice the per-port maximum login count.
∙ Each port can be configured to “not allow any device” or “to allow all the devices” to log in.
∙ If the ADS policy is enabled, by default, every port is configured to allow all devices to log in.
∙ The same allow list can be specified for more than one F_Port.
Setting the list of devices allowed to log in
The following steps show how to set the allowed devices.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Use the ag --adsset command with the appropriate options to set the list of devices allowed to log in to specific ports. In the
following example, ports 1, 10, and 13 are set to “all access.”
switch:admin> ag --adsset
"1;10;13" "*"
WWN list set successfully as the Allow Lists of the F_Port[s]
Setting the list of devices not allowed to log in
The following steps show how to set the list of devices that are not allowed to log in.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the ag --adsset command with the appropriate options to set the list of devices not allowed to log in to specific ports. In
the following example, ports 11 and 12 are set to “no access.”
switch:admin > ag --adsset
"11;12" ""
WWN list set successfully as the Allow Lists of the F_Port[s]
Removing devices from the list of allowed devices
Remove specified WWNs from the list of devices allowed to log in to the specified F_Ports using the ag --adsdel command. Lists must
be enclosed in quotation marks. List members must be separated by semicolons. Replace the F_Port list with an asterisk (*) to remove
the specified WWNs from all the F_Ports allow lists.
ag --adsdel "F_Port [ ;
F_Port2 ; ... ]" "WWN [ ; WWN2 ; ... ]"
For more details on this command and its operands, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference .
