Path Failover and failback policies
The Path Failover and failback policies determine the behavior of the F_Port if the primary mapped
N_Port they are mapped to goes offline or is disabled. The Path Failover and failback policies are
attributes of N_Port. By default, the Path Failover and failback policies are enabled for all N_Ports.
Modifying Path Failover and failback policies
1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Administration window.
2. Select the N-port you want to modify the policy on.
3. Click the Edit Configuration button.

Enabling Automatic Port Configuration (APC)
APC is a global configuration policy for a switch operating in Access Gateway mode. The default
setting for this policy is disabled. You cannot enable this policy if you have created N_Port grouping.
After you enable APC, you cannot define custom port type configuration, port mapping, Path
Failover, and failback settings.
1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Administration window.
2. Click the Port Configuration Policy drop-down menu and select Automatic.
