--modedisable

Disables Access Gateway mode on a switch. After AG mode is disabled, the
switch reboots automatically and comes online with default zone access set to
"No Access". In order to merge the switch to a fabric, set the default zone to "All
Access" and disable/enable the E_Port.

--policyshow

Displays the supported AG port policies and their status as either enabled or
disabled. AG supports four types of policies:

Port Grouping (pg) policy: This policy manages failover of an F_Port to a set
of related N_Ports in a port group.

Auto Port Configuration (auto): When this policy is enabled, the AG enabled
switch automatically detects available ports and maps F_Ports to N_Ports.
Auto port configuration is disabled by default.

Advanced Device Security (ADS) policy. This policy restricts access to the
fabric at the AG level to a set of authorized devices. Unauthorized access is
rejected and the system logs a RASLOG message. You can configure the list
of allowed devices for each F_Port by specifying their Port WWN. Refer to the
ag --ads* commands for information on managing advanced device security.
ADS policy is disabled by default, which means that all devices can connect
to the switch.

WWN Based Load Balancing policy: This policy routes device logins to the
least loaded port in the port group to which they are mapped.

--policyenable policy

Enables the specified port policy for the Access Gateway. When a new policy is
enabled, all port related configuration settings are lost. Use the configUpload
command to save the current port configuration. Valid policies include the
following:

pg

Enables the port grouping policy. A default port group "pg0" is created, which
includes all configured N_Ports assigned to the policy. Enabling port grouping
policy disables the Get Fabric Name policy.

auto

Enables the automatic port configuration policy. When enabled, this policy applies
to all ports on the switch. All F_Port to N_Port mapping and port group
configurations are ignored.

ads

Enables the advanced device security (ADS) policy. When enabled, this policy
applies to all the ports on the switch. By default all devices have access to the
fabric on all ports.

wwnloadbalance

Enables the device WWN load balancing policy. When this policy is enabled,
device logins are sent to the least loaded port in the port group to which they are
mapped. These devices are displayed with ag --wwnmapshow as dynamic
device mappings. Port Group policy must be enabled before you can enable the
WWN load balancing policy.

--policydisable policy

Disables the specified policy for the Access Gateway. When a policy is disabled,
all port-related configuration settings are lost. Use the configUpload command to
save the current port configuration. Valid policies include the following:

pg

Disables the port grouping policy. All port group configurations are deleted.
Disabling port grouping policy enables the Get Fabric Name policy.
