F_Port N_Port Edge switch F_Port
F_1, F_2 N_1 Switch_A F_A1
F_3, F_4 N_2 Switch_A F_A2
F_5, F_6 N_3 Switch_B F_B1
F_7, F_8 N_4 Switch_B F_B2
Default port mapping
When you first enable a switch for AG mode, the F_Ports are mapped to a set of predefined N_Ports
by default. The table below describes the default port mapping for all supported hardware platforms.
By default, Failover and Failback policies are enabled on all N_Ports.
If you want to change the default mapping, refer to Adding F_Ports to an N_Port on page 35. Note
that all F_Ports must be mapped to an N_Port before the F_Port can come online.
