Access Gateway mapping

FIGURE 4 Port mapping example
Table 4 provides a description of the port mapping in Figure 4.
Default port mapping
When you first enable a switch for AG mode, the F_Ports are mapped to a set of predefined N_Ports
by default. Table 5 on page 12 describes the default port mapping for all supported hardware
platforms. By default, Failover and Failback policies are enabled on all N_Ports.
If you want to change the default mapping, refer to “Adding F_Ports to an N_Port” on page 14. Note
that all F_Ports must be mapped to an N_Port before the F_Port can come online.
NOTE
All ports on demand (POD) licenses must be present to use Access Gateway on the Brocade 5100
and 300.
