Disabling Access Gateway mode
Before you disable a switch in AG mode, you should always back up the current configuration.
Disabling AG mode clears the F_Port-to-N_Port mapping.
Disabling AG mode is disruptive; the switch is disabled and rebooted. After AG mode is disabled,
the switch starts in Fabric OS Native mode. The switch will segment from the fabric upon reboot. To
re-join the switch to the core fabric, refer to “Rejoining switches to a fabric” on page 43.
For additional information on reconfiguring a switch and joining it to a fabric, see the Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the ag
--modeshow command to verify that the switch is in AG mode.
switch:admin> ag --modeshow
Access Gateway mode is enabled
3. Enter the switchDisable command to disable the switch.
switch:admin> switchdisable
NOTE
To save the Access Gateway configuration, use the configUpload command before proceeding
with the next step.
4. Enter the ag command with the
--modedisable operand to disable AG mode.
switch:admin> ag --modedisable
The switch automatically reboots and comes back online using the fabric switch configuration;
the AG parameters, such as F_Port-to-N_Port mapping, and the Failover and Failback policies
are automatically removed.
5. Enter the ag
--modeshow command to verify that AG mode is disabled.
switch:admin> ag --modeshow
Access Gateway mode is NOT enabled
Saving the Access Gateway configuration
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
