Topology 3: Access Gateways
Figure 6 illustrates a switch configured as a single Access Gateway connected to a fabric switch. N
and F represent, respectively, an N_Port and an F_Port to be configured as D_Ports. (See note
below.) The following equipment is supported, in any mix-or-match combination:
• Access Gateways: Brocade 6505, 6510
• Switches: Brocade DCX 8510-4, DCX 8510-8, 6505, 6510, 6520
FIGURE 6 Single Access Gateway to switch
Figure 7 illustrates multiple Access Gateways connected to a switch in a cascaded topology. N and
F represent, respectively, an N_Port and an F_Port to be configured as D_Ports. (See note below.)
There is no D_Port support for HBA connectivity to the Access Gateway. The following equipment is
supported, in any mix-or-match combination:
• Access Gateways: Brocade 6505, 6510
• Switches: Brocade DCX 8510-4, DCX 8510-8, 6505, 6510, 6520

For configuration details see “Using D_Port without HBAs” on page 95.
NOTE
You cannot configure a D_Port in the above topologies if N_Port-to-F_Port mappings are already
present on the Access Gateway. See
“Saving port mappings on an Access Gateway” on page 97.
