Enabling the path failback policy
A switch in Access Gateway mode supports automatic F_Port failback to N_Ports when that port
comes back online. By default, the failback policy is enabled.
When an N_Port with an enabled failback policy comes back online, the F_Ports that were originally
mapped to it automatically reroutes back to the N_Port.
To enable failback
1. Connect and log in to the switch.
2. Enter the ag
--
failbackshow command with the n_portnumber operand to display the failover
setting.
switch:admin> ag --failbackshow 13
Failback on N_Port 13 is not supported
3. Enter the ag
--
failbackenable command with the n_portnumber operand to enable failover.
switch:admin> ag --failbackenable 13
