F_Port trunking for Access Gateway
You can configure trunking between the F_Ports on an edge switch and the N_Ports on an Access
Gateway module.
NOTE
You cannot configure F_Port trunking on the F_Ports of an Access Gateway module.
F_Port trunking keeps F_Ports from becoming disabled when they are mapped to an N_Port on a
switch in Access Gateway mode. With F_Port trunking, any link within a trunk can go offline or
become disabled, but the trunk remains fully functional and there are no reconfiguration
requirements.
