AG Physical Package
Access Gateway
When a AG-capable switch is changed to AG, it will not act as a switch and it cannot be directly
discovered through Brocade Network Advisor. The port on the switch that is connected to AG is the
F_Port and the port on AG that has a connection from switch is the N_Port. AG is considered as a
node from the switch’s perspective.
As shown in
Figure 47
, there are two connections from Switch1 to AG. There are two F_Ports on
switch F1 and F2 connected to ports N1 and N2 of AG. The AG is connected to three HBAs, so the
F_Ports F1, F2, and F3 on AG are connected to the ports n1, n2, and n3 of HBA1, HBA2, and HBA3
correspondingly. There is an internal mapping on AG as N1 is mapped with F1 and F2, and N2 is
mapped with F3.
