Brocade Access Gateway and NPIV

AG connected to a single fabric

HBA with virtualized ports connected to AG

Figure 47 represents the Brocade Network Advisor SMI Agent model for discovery of a host

attached to AG.

• The instance of Brocade_Platform with Dedicated property values as Not dedicated represents

the HBA attached to the AG. This platform instance is shown if the HBA is FDMI-enabled and

the hostname is known to Network Advisor. For more details, refer to the “FC HBA profile” on

page 50.

• If the value of Dedicated property is Gateway of Brocade_AccessGateway, then it represents

the AG.

• The association between the SANProtocolEndPoint of switch and AGSANProtocolEndPoint of

AG is Brocade_AGSANActiveConnection. The association between AGSANProtocolEndPoint of

AG and SANProtocolEndPoint of the end device (host) is Brocade_AGSANActiveConnection. The

two associations create a direct association between the SANProtocolEndPoint of the switch

and the SANProtocolEndPoint of the end device (host).

• The SANProtocolEndPoint of the switch is associated with the F_Ports of AG, by

Brocade_AGSANProtocolEndPointLogicalIdentity. The F_Port of AG is internally mapped to

N_Ports of AG, which is connected to the switch.
