Brocade Access Gateway Administrator's Guide (Supporting Fabric OS v7.3.0) - Manual (Page 93)

For the Mi10K switch, enter the following command.
fc osmsState vfid state
In the command, vfid is the virtual fabric identification number. The state variable can be enable for
the enabled state or disable for the disabled state.
The osmsState variable can be enable or 1 for the enabled state or disable or 0 for the disabled
state.
3. Enable NPIV functionality on the Edge fabric ports so that multiple logins are allowed for each port.
Enter the following command on the M-EOS switch to enable NPIV on the specified ports.
config NPIV
Your M-EOS switch is now ready to connect.
NOTE
You can run the agshow command to display Access Gateway information registered with the
fabric. When an Access Gateway is exclusively connected to non-Fabric-OS-based switches, it will
not show up in the agshow output on other Brocade switches in the fabric.
Connectivity to Cisco fabrics
When connecting a switch in Access Gateway mode to a Cisco fabric, you need to make sure that NPIV
is enabled on the connecting switch and that Fabric OS v3.1 or later is used.
Enabling NPIV on a Cisco switch
1. Log in as admin on the Cisco MDS switch.
2. Enter the show version command to determine if you are using the correct SAN operating system
version and if NPIV is enabled on the switch.
3. Enter the following commands to enable NPIV:
configure terminal
npiv enable
4. Press Ctrl-Z to exit.
5. Enter the following commands to save the MDS switch connection:
copy
run
start
Your Cisco switch is now ready to connect to a switch in Access Gateway mode.
Rejoining Fabric OS switches to a fabric
When a switch reboots after AG mode is disabled, the Default zone is set to no access. Therefore, the
switch does not immediately join the fabric to which it is connected. Use one of the following methods to
rejoin a switch to the fabric:
