Explanation

What is Brocade Access Gateway mode? Brocade Access Gateway mode can make a switch appear transparent to hosts or the network fabric. With aswitch configured in Access Gateway mode, F_Ports connect to the fabric as N_Ports rather than E_Ports. This allows more hosts (and virtual machines) to access the fabric without increasing the number of switches--thereby simplifying configuration and reducing the number of Domain IDs to manage. Access Gatewayenhancements in Brocade Fabric OS?6.1 or later include trunking, device security policies, and 16-bit routingfor use in other vendor fabrics.
