Access Gateway-moded switches

After discovery, you can view information about Access Gateway-moded switches.

Discovering an Access Gateway switch

Discover an Enterprise fabric by providing the IP address of the seed switch running Fabric OS

v5.3.0 or later. Fabric Manager automatically discovers all these switches through the fabric. It can

then communicate with the Access Gateway-moded switch directly.

During the discovery process, you must supply authentication credentials to be applied to the

entire fabric, and, by extension, all Access Gateway-moded switches connected to that fabric.

Subnet scans do not list the Access Gateway-moded switches that are connected to an enterprise

fabric; use the Discover feature to discover these types of switches.
