Access Gateway mode
The Access Gateway feature on the Brocade Encryption switch and the Brocade 8000 enables
interoperability with the Cisco fabrics. The Access Gateway mode of the switch presents standard
F_Ports to the hosts, but it connects to the Enterprise fabric as N_Port (rather than as E_Port in
case of a regular switch).
Restricted access in the Port Administration window
When Access Gateway mode is enabled, the following options are disabled in the Port
Administration window:
• Port Configuration Policy — Configuring the Auto or Advanced mode under Port Configuration
Policy is disabled as shown in
Figure 50 .
• Enable Trunking and Disable Trunking — Enabling and Disabling of N_Port trunking is disabled
as shown in
Figure 50 .
