Port Grouping policy considerations
Policy considerations for the Port Grouping policy include the following:
∙ A port cannot be a member of more than one port group.
∙ The PG policy is enabled by default in Fabric OS 6.0 and later. A default port group "0" (PG0) is created, which contains all
ports on the AG.
∙ APC policy and PG policy are mutually exclusive. You cannot enable these policies at the same time.
