Changing from Access Gateway mode to Fabric switch mode
If your switch module is currently configured in Access Gateway mode, you can enable the module for
Fabric OS Native mode by disabling Access Gateway mode. When you do this, the module
automatically reboots in Fabric OS Native mode; however, the switch will be segmented so as not to
affect the external fabric. For instructions on how to join this switch module to the fabric, refer to the
Access Gateway Administrator’s Guide
.
Determine if the switch module is running in Access Gateway mode by entering the
switchShow
command to display the current switch configuration. If the switch module is running in Fabric OS
Native mode, the switchMode parameter displays "Access Gateway Mode".
For complete instructions on disabling Access Gateway mode using the CLI and joining the switch to
the fabric, refer to the “Disabling Access Gateway Mode” section in the
Access Gateway
Administrator’s Guide
.
