Port mapping

F_Ports must be mapped to N_Ports before the F_Ports can come online. The figure below shows an
example in which eight F_Ports are mapped evenly to four N_Ports on a switch in AG mode. The
N_Ports connect to the same fabric through different Edge switches.

FIGURE 5 Port mapping example

The following table describes the port mapping details for the above example.
