Creating and removing port groups

You must create a port group with a unique ID before adding N_Ports to the group or enabling Port
Grouping (PG) policy modes. Removing a port group removes all N_Ports, mapped VF_Ports, and
associated PG modes.

Access Gateway must be enabled for this command to succeed.

When you enable Access Gateway mode, all ports belong to port group 0 (pg0). You can move ports
to a separate port group by first creating a port group with a unique ID, and then adding N_Ports to
that group. All VF_Ports mapped to added N_Ports also become members of the new group.
Removing a port group removes all N_Ports, mapped VF_Ports, and associated PG modes.

Use the pg pgid command to configure a port group with a unique ID (pgid). The pgid is a number that
cannot exceed the number of N_Ports allocated for the switch model, minus 1 for default pg 0.
Therefore, for a VDX 6730-76 with 16 N_Ports, a valid pgid would be 1-15. Once configured, you can
access the port group for configuration tasks, such as adding and removing N_Ports, enable port
group modes, and renaming the group. Use the no pg pgid command to remove a port group. You
must enter these commands while in Access Gateway (ag) configuration mode.

NOTE
Port Grouping policy is enabled by default when you enable Access Gateway mode.
