Install and configure the switch as described in the switch's Hardware Reference Manual
before performing these procedures.
Configure the F_Ports on the edge switch to which Access Gateway is connected as follows:
-
Enable NPIV.
-
Disable long distance mode.
-
Allow multiple logins. The recommended fabric login setting is set to the maximum allowed
per port and per switch.
Use only WWN zoning throughout the fabric. Access Gateway does not support domain ID and
other types of zoning schemes.
Include either Access Gateway WWN or the N_Port and F_Port WWNs in ACL policies.
Allow inband queries for forwarded fabric management requests from the hosts. Add the
Access Gateway switch WWN to the access list if inband queries are restricted.
