How this document is organized

The document contains the following topics:

•Chapter 1, “Getting Started” describes how to use Access Gateway to create seamless

connectivity to any Storage Area Network (SAN) fabric.

•Chapter 2, “Enabling Policies on Switches in Access Gateway Mode”describes how to enable

policies on a switch in Access Gateway mode.

•Chapter 3, “Connecting Devices Using Access Gateway” describes how to connect multiple

devices using Access Gateway.

•Chapter 4, “Configuring Ports in Access Gateway mode” describes how to configure ports in

Access Gateway mode.

•Appendix A, “Troubleshooting” provides symptoms and troubleshooting tips to resolve issues.

Supported hardware and software

Although many different software and hardware configurations are tested and supported by

Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. For v6.1.0, documenting all possible configurations and

scenarios is beyond the scope of this document. All Fabric OS switches must be running v5.1 or

later; all M-EOS switches must be running M-EOSc 9.1 or later, M-EOSn must be running 9.6.2 or

later, and Cisco switches with SAN OS must be running 3.0 (1) and 3.1 (1) or later. Access Gateway

supports 4 and 8 Gbit bladed servers and blades.

Document conventions

This section describes text formatting conventions and important notices formats.

Text formatting

The narrative-text formatting conventions that are used in this document are as follows:

bold text Identifies command names

Identifies the names of user-manipulated GUI elements

Identifies keywords and operands

Identifies text to enter at the GUI or CLI

italic text Provides emphasis

Identifies variables

Identifies paths and Internet addresses

Identifies document titles

code text Identifies CLI output

Identifies syntax examples

For readability, command names in the narrative portions of this guide are presented in mixed

lettercase: for example, switchShow. In actual examples, command lettercase is often all

lowercase. Otherwise, this manual specifically notes those cases in which a command is case

sensitive. The ficonCupSet and ficonCupShow commands are an exception to this convention.
