Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may

be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command

Availability" for details.

AG is supported only on selected Brocade hardware platforms. Refer to the Access Gateway

Administrator’s Guide for Hardware support and AG configuration procedures.

In non-AG mode, the only two actions available are --modeenable and --modeshow.

Operands This command has the following operands:

--help Displays the command usage.

--show Displays the current configuration of the Access Gateway. This includes all

N_Ports and F_Ports that are currently online, failover and failback settings

as well as any online F_Ports that are currently mapped to N_Ports. Failover

and failback policies are displayed as enabled (1) or disabled (0).

--modeshow Displays the current Access Gateway operating mode of the switch as either

enabled or disabled.

--modeenable Enables Access Gateway mode on a switch. Long distance mode settings

should be cleared for all ports on the NPIV edge switch to which the AG is

connected. Otherwise, the NPIV switch port displays the long distance port

type along with the F_Port.

--modedisable Disables Access Gateway mode on a switch. After AG mode is disabled, the

switch reboots automatically and comes online with default zone access set

to "No Access". In order to merge the switch to a fabric, set the default zone to

"All Access" and disable/enable the E_Port.
