Adding F_Ports - Brocade Communications Systems A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

Adding F_Ports

Adding an F_Port to an N_Ports routes that traffic to and from the fabric through the specified N_Port.
When failover is enabled and the N_Port goes offline or otherwise fails, the F_Port is automatically
routed to another N_Port that is connected to the same fabric.
An F_Port can be assigned to only one N_Port at a time. If the F_Port has been assigned to an another
N_Port, you must remove it from the N_Port before you can add it in this procedure.
To add F_Ports to an N_Port
1. Connect and log in to the switch.
Enter the ag command with the --mapdel <n_portnumber> <f_portlist> operand to remove the
F_Port from the N_Port. Where the f_portlist can contain multiple F_Port numbers separated by
semicolons, for example "17;18".
switch:admin> ag --mapdel 10 6
F-Port to N-Port mapping has been updated successfully
2. Enter the switchshow command to verify that the F_Port is free (unassigned).
Unassigned F_Port status is Disabled (No mapping for F-Port). See port 6 in the example below.

3. Enter the ag command with the --mapadd <n_portnumber> <f_portlist> operand to add the list
of F_Ports to the N_Port.
