Determining the mapping and port status

This section explains how to display the current mapping and port status.

DISPLAYING THE PORT MAPPING

This section explains how to display the mapped routes of the host connections to the fabric on

Brocade Access Gateway. F_Ports are mapped to N_Ports.

See the Fabric OS Command Reference for more details on using the ag command with the

--mapshow operand.

To display all mappings

1. Connect and log in to the switch.

2. Enter the ag

--mapshow command without any options to display all the mapped ports.

N_Port Port numbers of ports locked in N_Port mode.

Configured F_Ports List of F_Ports that are mapped to the corresponding N_Port; for

example: F_Ports 9 and 10 are mapped to N_Port 0.

Current F_Ports Shows the F_Ports that are currently connected to the fabric on the

corresponding N_Port.

In the case of failover, the Current F_Port and Configured F_Ports

differ. For example, ports 9 and 10 are mapped to 0, however 0 is

offline, therefore 9 and 10 failed over to 22 and 23.

Failover and Failback Indicates whether or not N_Port policy is enabled (1) or disabled (0).
