USING THE CLI TO DISABLE ACCESS GATEWAY MODE
After you disable Access Gateway mode, use the instructions in the Fabric OS Administrator’s
Guide to reconfigure the switch and join it to the fabric.
NOTE
Disabling Access Gateway mode clears the current Access Gateway mode configuration and reboots
the switch.
To disable Access Gateway mode
1. Connect and log in to the switch.
2. Enter the ag
--modeshow command to verify that the switch is in Access Gateway mode.
switch:admin> ag --modeshow
Access Gateway mode is enabled
3. Enter the switchDisable command to disable the switch.
switch:admin> switchdisable
NOTE
To save the Access Gateway configuration, use the configUpload command before proceeding
with the next step.
4. Enter the ag command with the
--modedisable operand to disable Access Gateway mode.
switch:admin> ag --modedisable
The switch automatically reboots and comes back online using the fabric switch configuration;
the Access Gateway parameters, such as F_Port to N_Port mapping, failover, and failback
policies are automatically removed.
5. Enter the ag
--modeshow command to verify that Access Gateway mode has been disabled.
switch:admin> ag --modeshow
Access Gateway mode is NOT enabled
NOTE
Use the configDownload command to restore a previous fabric configuration.
Notes on joining the switch to a fabric
After the switch reboots when Access Gateway mode is disabled, the default zone is set to no
access. Therefore the switch does not immediately join the fabric to which it is connected. Use one
of the following methods to join the switch to the fabric:
• If you saved a Fabric OS configuration before enabling AG mode, download the configuration
using the configDownload command. See “To use a previous configuration” on page 15.
• If you want to join the switch to the fabric using the fabric configuration, follow the steps in “To
allow the switch to merge with the fabric” on page 15.
