Explanation of fields in --mapshow output:
- Current F_Ports are the F_Ports that are currently online and mapped to a given N_Port
either because they are mapped to that N_Port or as a result of N_Port failover.
- Configured F_Ports are the F_Ports that are explicitly mapped to this N_Port (saved in
config).
- Failover and Failback indicate whether or not N_Port policy is enabled (1) or disabled (0).
- PG_ID is the Port Group ID and PG_Name is the Port Group Name.
2. To clear all F_Ports mapped to the configured primary N_Port 0:
switch:admin> ag --mapset 0 ““
F_Port to N_Port mapping has been updated successfully
3. To add F_Ports 4 and 6 to N_Port 0 (observe that Port 0 has no configured F_Ports):
switch:admin> ag --mapset 0 “4;6
F_Port to N_Port mapping has been updated successfully
4. To add F_Port 5 to N_Port 2 (observe that N_Port 2 already has mapped F_Ports):
switch:admin> ag --mapadd 2 "5"
5. To display the new mappings:
switch:admin> ag --mapshow
