Port configuration

You can configure the port types (N_Port, F_Port) on each individual port on an Access Gateway
enabled switch. When you configure ports, you can specify a global configuration policy using the
Port Configuration Policy button. By default, Advanced is selected and sets the initial defaults for
port types, groups, and the F_Port-to-N_Port mappings. When the policy is Automatic, the port type
assignments and mappings are configured automatically based on device and switch connections
and internal load-balancing and grouping; user controls are disabled.

When you configure ports, perform the tasks in the following order:

1. Configure N_Ports, if necessary. Use the Edit Configuration button to configure a port.

2. Configure N_Port groups.
