ag
• Port Grouping (pg) policy: This policy manages failover of an F_Port to a set of related
N_Ports in a port group.
• Auto Port Configuration (auto): When this policy is enabled, the AG enabled switch
automatically detects available ports and maps F_Ports to N_Ports. Auto port
configuration is disabled by default.
• Advanced Device Security (ADS) policy. This policy restricts access to the fabric at the
AG level to a set of authorized devices. Unauthorized access is rejected and the system
logs a RASLOG message. You can configure the list of allowed devices for each
F_Port by specifying their Port WWN. Refer to the ag --ads* commands for
information on managing advanced device security. ADS policy is disabled by default,
which means that all devices can connect to the switch.
• WWN Based Load Balancing policy: This policy routes device logins to the least
loaded port in the port group to which they are mapped.
--policyenable policy
Enables the specified port policy for the Access Gateway. When a new policy is enabled, all
port related configuration settings are lost. Use the configUpload command to save the
current port configuration. Valid policies include the following:
pg
Enables the port grouping policy. A default port group "pg0" is created, which includes all
configured N_Ports assigned to the policy. Enabling port grouping policy disables the Get
Fabric Name policy.
auto
Enables the automatic port configuration policy. When enabled, this policy applies to all
ports on the switch. All F_Port to N_Port mapping and port group configurations are
ignored.
ads
Enables the advanced device security (ADS) policy. When enabled, this policy applies to all
the ports on the switch. By default all devices have access to the fabric on all ports.
wwnloadbalance
Enables the device WWN load balancing policy. When this policy is enabled, device logins
are sent to the least loaded port in the port group to which they are mapped. These devices
are displayed with ag --wwnmapshow as dynamic device mappings. Port Group policy
must be enabled before you can enable the WWN load balancing policy.
--policydisable policy
Disables the specified policy for the Access Gateway. When a policy is disabled, all
port-related configuration settings are lost. Use the configUpload command to save the
current port configuration. Valid policies include the following:
pg
Disables the port grouping policy. All port group configurations are deleted. Disabling port
grouping policy enables the Get Fabric Name policy.
auto
Disables the automatic port configuration policy and deletes all associated configuration
settings.
ads
Disables the advanced device security (ADS) policy and deletes all lists of allowed device
WWNs.
