  • Page 30: Access Gateway Mapping

    Access Gateway mapping Access Gateway mapping Access Gateway uses mapping—that is, pre-provisioned routes—to direct traffic from the hosts to the fabric. When you first enable a switch to AG mode, by default, the F_Ports are mapped to a set of predefined N_Ports. For the default F_Port-to-N_Port mapping, see Table 4.
  • Page 31: Default Port Mapping

    Access Gateway mapping Default port mapping Table 5 shows the default F_Port-to-N_Port mapping. By default, Failover and Failback policy are enabled on all N_ports.

    N_Port configurations N_Port configurations You must have the role of securityadmin, admin, or user to configure ports in Access Gateway (AG) mode, The AG port connected to the Enterprise fabric must be configured as an N_Port. By default, on embedded switches, only the internal ports of Access Gateway are configured as F_Ports.

    Automatic Port Configuration policy How the APC policy works When the APC policy is enabled, it applies to all ports on the switch. Enabling the APC policy is disruptive and erases all existing F_Port-to-N_Port mappings. Therefore, before enabling the APC policy, you must disable the AG module.
  • Page 43: Automatic Port Configuration Policy Considerations

    Port Grouping policy Automatic Port Configuration policy considerations Following are the considerations for the Automatic Port Configuration policy: • The APC and the PG policies cannot be enabled at the same time. • You cannot manually configure F_Port-to-N_Port mapping with this policy enabled.

  • Page 45: Deleting An N_Port From A Port Group

    Port Grouping policy Deleting an N_Port from a port group Before deleting an N_Port, all F_Ports mapped to that N_Port must be remapped before that N_Port is deleted from a port group. If an N-port is deleted from a port group enabled for Login Balancing, the F-ports mapped to that N-port stay with the port group as long as there are other N-ports in the group.
  • Page 46: Port Grouping Policy Modes

    Port Grouping policy Port Grouping policy modes You can modify certain default behavior such as the following within a port group: • Login Balancing (LB) If login balancing mode is enabled for a port group and an F_Port goes offline, logins in the port group are redistributed among the remaining F_Ports.
  • Page 47: Rebalancing F_Ports

    Port Grouping policy Rebalancing F_Ports To minimize disruption that could occur once F_ports go offline or when additional N_ports are brought online you can modify the default behavior of the automatic login balancing feature by disabling or enabling rebalancing of F_Ports when F_Port offline or N_Port online events occur. 1.

  • Page 52: Failover

    Failover Failover Access Gateway Failover ensures maximum uptime for the servers. When a port is configured as an N_Port, failover is enabled by default and is enforced during power-up. Failover allows F_Ports to automatically remap to an online N_Port if the primary N_Port goes offline. If multiple N_Ports are available for failover, failover evenly distributes the F_Ports to available N_Ports belonging to the same N_Port group.

  • Page 55: Failback

    Failback The list of F_Ports must be enclosed in quotation marks. Port numbers must be separated by a semicolon. In the following example, F_Ports 3 and 9 are deleted from preferred secondary N_Port 4. switch:admin> ag --prefdel "3;9" 4 Preferred N_Port is deleted successfully for the F_Port[s] Failback Failback policy provides a means for hosts that have failed over to move back to their intended N_ports when these N_ports come back online.

    Trunking in Access Gateway mode Trunking on the Edge switch in Access Gateway mode As all AG Trunking configuration is done on the Edge switch, information in this section is applicable to the Edge switch module and not the AG module. On the AG module you only need to ensure that the trunking license is applied and enabled.
  • Page 59: Configuration Management For Trunk Areas

    Trunking in Access Gateway mode Configuration management for trunk areas Ports from different ADs are not allowed to join the same Trunk Area group. The porttrunkarea command prevents the different AD's from joining the TA group. When you assign a TA, the ports within the TA group will have the same Index. The Index that was assigned to the ports is no longer part of the switch.

  • Page 66: Trunking Considerations For Access Gateway Mode

    Adaptive Networking on Access Gateway Trunking considerations for Access Gateway mode Consider the following for Trunking in Access Gateway mode: • Access Gateway trunking is not supported on M-EOS or third-party switches. • Trunk groups cannot span across multiple N_Port groups within an AG module in AG mode. Multiple trunk groups are allowed within the same N_Port group.
  • Page 67: Upgrade And Downgrade Considerations With Adaptive Networking In Ag Mode Enabled

    Adaptive Networking on Access Gateway QoS: SID/DID traffic prioritization SID/DID traffic prioritization allows you to categorize the traffic flow between a given host and target as having a high or low priority; the default is medium. For example, you can assign online transaction processing (OLTP) to a high priority and the backup traffic to a low priority.
