Defect ID: DEFECT000296266
Technical Severity: High
Summary: When Auto Port Configuration is enabled on an Access Gateway, switch will lock the port as
an N_Port if no FLOGI received within timeout period, then disable it after receiving ELS
rejects
Symptom: On a Brocade 5480 with the Auto Port Configuration (APC) feature enabled, ports will
become locked down as N_Ports if there is no FLOGI sent by an attached device within the
timeout period. This can happen if using Boot over SAN during the period when the HBA
has no firmware loaded yet.
Workaround: Use default AG -PG policy
Feature: Access Gateway Services
Function: Embedded Platforms
Probability: Medium
Found in Release: FOS6.3.0
Service Request ID: 420895
Where Else Fixed: FOS6.4.1

SMI-A.
Workaround: Customers that experience this problem can stop using their SMI based application until
the code upgrade complete.
