Access Gateway policy modification

Although you can control a number of policies on switches in Access Gateway mode, Web Tools only
provides the ability to enable and disable the policies. For more information on these policies
please refer to Access Gateway Administrator's Guide.

Path Failover and Failback policies

The Path Failover and Failback policies determine the behavior of the F_Port if the primary mapped
N_Port they are mapped to goes offline or is disabled. The Path Failover and Failback policies are
attributes of the N_Port. By default, the Path Failover and Failback policies are enabled for all
N_Ports.

Modifying Path Failover and Failback policies

To modify Path Failover and Failback policies, perform the following steps.
1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Admin tab.
2. Select the N_Port for which you want to modify the policy.
3. Click Edit Configuration.
4. Select the appropriate check box to modify the policy.
5. Click Save.

Enabling the Automatic Port Configuration policy

The Automatic Port Configuration (APC) policy is a global configuration policy for a switch in Access
Gateway mode. By default, this policy is disabled. If you created an N_Port grouping and switching
over to the automatic mode, those port groups are lost. After you enable the APC policy, you cannot
define custom port type configurations, port mappings, Path Failover, and Failback settings.

secondary port is not defined, the failover moves to any online ports.
