Enabling and disabling the Advanced Device Security policy
By default, the ADS policy is disabled. When you manually disable the ADS policy, all of the allow 
lists (global and per-port) are cleared. Before disabling the ADS policy, you should save the 
configuration using the configupload command in case you need this configuration again. 
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the ag
--
policyenable ads command to enable the ADS policy.
switch:admin> ag --policyenable ads
The policy ADS is enabled
3. Enter the ag
--
policydisable ads command to disable the ADS policy.
switch:admin> ag --policydisable ads
The policy ADS is disabled
NOTE
Use the ag --policyshow command to determine the current status of the ADS policy.
Setting the list of devices allowed to log in
You can determine which devices are allowed to log in on a per F_Port basis by specifying the 
device’s port WWN (PWWN). Lists must be enclosed in double quotation marks. List members must 
be separated by semicolons. The maximum number of entries in the allowed device list is twice the 
per port maximum log in count. Replace the WWN list with an asterisk (*) to indicate all access on 
the specified F_Port list. Replace the F_Port list with an asterisk (*) to add the specified WWNs to 
all the F_Ports' allow lists. A blank WWN list (““) indicates no access. The ADS policy must be 
enabled for this command to succeed.
NOTE
Use an asterisk enclosed in quotation marks,“*”, to set the Allow list to “All Access” to all F_Ports; 
use a pair of double quotation marks (“”) to set the Allow list to “No Access”.
Note the following characteristics of the Allow List:
•
The maximum device entries allowed in the Allow List is twice the per port max login count.
•
Each port can be configured to “not allow any device” or “to allow all the devices” to log in.
•
If the ADS policy is enabled, by default, every port is configured to allow all devices to log 
in.
•
The same Allow List can be specified for more than one F_Port.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the ag --adsset command with the appropriate operands to set the list of devices
allowed to log into specific ports. In the following example, ports 1, 10, and, 13 are set to “all 
access.”
switch:admin> ag --adsset "1;10;13" "*"
WWN list set successfully as the Allow Lists of the F_Port[s]
