NOTE
FA-PWWN is supported with F_Port trunking on the supported Access Gateway platforms.

Access Gateway N_Port failover with FA-PWWN

If an FA-PWWN F_Port on an Access Gateway fails over to an N_Port that is connected to a different
switch, the FA-PWWN of that Access Gateway F_Port must also be configured on that switch. If not,
the FA-PWWN assigned to the Access Gateway F_Port following a failover will be different than it
was before the failover occurred. This situation may require the host to reboot to bring it back
online. Even after the reboot, the host may potentially go into a different zone because the
FA-PWWN is different.
