Changing from Access Gateway mode to Fabric Switch mode
If your Brocade 6545 16 Gbps FC 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
Brocade 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 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
Brocade
Access Gateway
Administrator’s Guide
