Access Gateway policy modification

Enabling the Automatic Port Configuration policy
The Automatic Port Configuration (APC) policy 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 and switching
over to the automatic mode, those port groups are lost. After you enable the APC policy, you cannot
define custom port type configurations, port mappings, Path Failover, and Failback settings.
NOTE
When port configuration is in auto mode, the Configure N port groups, Configure F-N port mapping,
and Configure WWN-N port mapping buttons are disabled.
To enable auto rebalancing from the Switch Administration window, perform the following steps.
1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Administration window.
2. Select Automatic from the Port Configuration Policy drop-down list.
NOTE
When Port Configuration Policy is set to Advanced, you can enable the auto rebalancing
options from the Configure N_Port Groups dialog box through the Port Administration window.
3. Click Yes in the confirmation window.
4. In the Switch Explorer window, select Switch Admin. The Switch Administration window
displays (Figure 31).
