Use the ag --policyshow command to determine the current status of the ADS policy.

Setting the list of devices allowed to log in

You can determine which devices are allowed to log in on a per F_Port basis by specifying the
device's port WWN (PWWN). Lists must be enclosed in double quotation marks. List members must
be separated by semicolons. The maximum number of entries in the allowed device list is twice the
per port maximum log in count. Replace the WWN list with an asterisk (*) to indicate all access on
the specified F_Port list. Replace the F_Port list with an asterisk (*) to add the specified WWNs to
all the F_Ports' allow lists. A blank WWN list ("") indicates no access. The ADS policy must be
enabled for this command to succeed.
NOTE
Use an asterisk enclosed in quotation marks,"*", to set the Allow list to "All Access" to all F_Ports;
use a pair of double quotation marks ("") to set the Allow list to "No Access".
Note the following characteristics of the Allow List:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the ag --adsset command with the appropriate operands to set the list of devices
