Configuring additional F_Ports

By default on the embedded switches, only the internal ports of Brocade Access Gateway are
configured as F_Ports. All external ports are configured (locked) as N_Ports. For more information
on which ports are mapped by default, refer to
ports connect hosts in the bladed server and external ports connect to the fabric. To connect an
additional FCP initiator to an external port, reconfigure an N_Port as an F_Port as follows:
1. Remap any F_Ports on the N_Port that is being converted. See
2. Unlock N_Port mode to change the port type to an F_Port. See
3. Map the newly configured F_Port to an N_Port. See
4. Connect the HBA, host, or other FCP initiator to the F_Port

NOTE
A switch in Access Gateway mode must have at least one port configured as an N_Port.
Therefore the maximum number of F_Ports that could be mapped to an N_Port is the number
of ports on the switch minus one.
