Enabling Access Gateway mode using the CLI
Complete the following steps to enable Access Gateway mode using the CLI.
1. Log in using the default administrative account.
Login:
admin
Password:
password
2. Enter the switchDisable command to disable Embedded Switch Module.
3. Enter the configUpload command to save the current configuration on the Embedded Switch
Module.
This command is optional and is only required if you are converting an existing Embedded
Switch Module to Access Gateway mode.
4. Enter the following command to enable Access Gateway mode:
ag ––modeEnable
The Embedded Switch Module automatically reboots and comes back online in Access
Gateway mode using a factory default F_Port to N_Port mapping. You can enter the
ag ––modeShow command to ensure that the module is in Access Gateway mode. See the
Access Gateway Administrator’s Guide
for more detailed configuration information.
You can also enter the ag ––mapshow command to display the F_Port to N_Port mapping.
Enter ag ––help command to display a list of all Access Gateway actions.
Changing from Access Gateway mode to Fabric Switch mode
If your Embedded 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 effect the external Fabric. For instructions on how to join this module to the Fabric, refer to
the
Access Gateway Administrator’s Guide
.
Determine if the Embedded Switch Module is running in Access Gateway mode by entering the
switchShow CLI command to display the current switch configuration. If 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
.
