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 the 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 for which you want to modify the policy.
3. Click Edit Configuration.

Enabling the Automatic Port Configuration policy
The Automatic Port Configuration Policy (APC) is a global configuration policy for a switch in Access
Gateway mode. By default, this policy is disabled. If you created an N_Port grouping, you cannot
enable this policy. After you enable the APC policy, you cannot define custom port type
configurations, port mappings, 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 menu and select Automatic.
