N_Ports
3. Enter the portcfgnport command with <portnumber> 0 operand to unlock N_Port mode.
By default, on embedded switches, all external ports are configured as N_Port lock mode when you
enable Access Gateway. Access Gateway connects only FCP initiators and targets to the fabric. It
does not support other types of ports, such as ISL (interswitch link) ports.
The port types on a fabric switch are not locked. Fabric OS Native mode dynamically assigns the
port type based on the connected device: F_Ports and FL_Ports for hosts, HBAs, and storage
devices; and E_Ports, EX_Ports, and VE_Ports for connections to other switches.
Displaying N_Port configurations
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the portcfgnport command.
