Brocade Network OS Administrator’s Guide v4.1.1 - Manual (Page 220)

The switch reboots and AG mode is enabled. Switch FC ports are automatically enabled as N_Ports
and mapped to VF_Ports. The N_Ports and VF_Ports are allocated to the switch based on the
switch model. Refer to
Default port mapping on page 225 for more information.
3. You can configure additional FC port attributes for the N_Ports as you would on switches not in
Access Gateway mode. Port trunking is not supported, however. Refer to Configuring Fibre
Channel Ports on page 199
Disabling Access Gateway mode
Disabling Access Gateway (AG) mode returns the switch to native VCS mode. Disabling AG mode
also removes all AG configuration, including port mapping and N_Port configuration.
Access Gateway mode must be enabled before you can disable it.
Use the following procedure to disable AG mode on the switch.
1. Display the current AG state and configuration by entering the show ag rbridge-id rbridge-id
command in privileged EXEC mode.
switch# show ag rbridge-id 1
If Access Gateway configuration data displays, as shown in Display Access Gateway configuration
data on page 220, AG is enabled.
If "AG mode not set" displays as shown below, AG is not enabled.
switch# show ag rbridge-id 2
AG mode not set.
For more information on displaying the current AG configuration on a switch or all AG switches in a
VCS cluster using this command, refer to
Display Access Gateway configuration data on page 220.
2. Disable AG mode or AG and VCS mode by entering one of the following commands while in
privileged EXEC mode:
• To disable AG mode only, enter no ag enable.
switch# no ag enable
• To disable AG and VCS mode, enter no ag vcs enable.
switch# no ag vcs enable
Display Access Gateway configuration data
Use the show running-config rbridge-id rbridge id ag and show ag rbridge-id rbridge-id command
to display Access Gateway configuration data.
To display AG configuration data, use the following methods:
• Use the show running-config rbridge-id rbridge-id ag command to display the configured N_Port
to VF_Port mappings, port grouping information, and other parameters. This shows the factory-
default configuration, unless parameters have been modified by the user.
• Use the show ag rbridge-id rbridge-id command to display the current and active status of AG
configuration, such as the switch identification, number and type of ports, enabled policies, port
grouping, and attached fabric details. This displays only ports that are currently online and current
mappings. For example, this will show VF_Ports that have failed over to an N_Port if an N_Port that
has gone offline.
