Managing the failover and failback policies
4
Enabling the failback policy
A switch in Access Gateway mode supports automatic F_Port failback to N_Ports when that port comes
back online. By default the failback policy is enabled.
When an N_Port with an enabled failback policy comes back online, the F_Ports that were originally
mapped to it are automatically rerouted back to the N_Port.
To enable failback
1. Connect and log in to the switch.
2. Enter the ag --failbackshow command with the n_portnumber operand to display the failover
setting.
3. Enter the ag --failbackenable command with the n_portnumber operand to enable failover.
To disable failback
1. Connect and log in to the switch.
2. Enter the ag --failbackshow command with the n_portnumber operand to display the failover
setting.
3. Enter the ag --failbackdisable command with the n_portnumber operand to disable failover.
