Rebalancing F_Ports

To minimize disruption that could occur once F_Ports go offline or when additional N_Ports are

brought online, you can modify the default behavior of Automatic Login Balancing mode by

disabling or enabling rebalancing of F_Ports when F_Port offline or N_Port online events occur.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. Enter the agautomapbalance --enable command with the appropriate options to enable

automatic login redistribution of F_Ports. In the following example, rebalancing of F_Ports in

port group 1 in Access Gateway is enabled when an F_Port online event occurs.

switch:admin> agautomapbalance --enable -fport -pg 1

3. Enter the agautomapbalance --disable - all command with the appropriate options to disable

automatic login distribution of N_Ports for all port groups in the Access Gateway when an

N_Port online event occurs.

switch:admin> agautomapbalance --disable -nport -all

4. Enter the agautomapbalance --disable - all command with the appropriate options to disable

automatic login distribution of F_Ports for all port groups in the Access Gateway when an

F_Port online event occurs.

switch:admin> agautomapbalance --disable -fport -all

5. Enter the agautomapbalance --show command to display the automatic login redistribution

settings for port groups. In the following example, there are two port groups, 0 and 1.

switch:admin> agautomapbalance --show
