2. Enter the switchShow command without any options to display the status of all ports.

Configuring port maps

In Access Gateway mode, the F_Ports are mapped to N_Ports. The first time Access Gateway mode
is enabled, the default F_Port to N_Port mapping is used. See
This section explains how to change the mapping. When you update the mapping only the F_Ports
that are added or removed are affected.
NOTE
For bladed servers, the HBA connects to the internal ports. Therefore, the internal ports are F_Ports
and by default only the external ports are configured as N_Ports.

ADDING F_PORTS

Adding an F_Port to an N_Port 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.
