Extended links (those created using the Extended Fabrics licensed feature) and the security features in
Secure Fabric OS are not supported through gateway links.
To configure a link through a gateway:
1.
If you are not sure that the PID format is consistent across the entire fabric, issue the
configshow

nonconforming switches as described in ”
2.
Connect to the switch on one end of the gateway and log in as admin.
3.
Issue the
portcfgislmode
command:
In the following example, slot 2, port 3 is enabled for a gateway link:
