standards-based NPIV. You can use the command line interface (CLI), Web Tools, or Brocade
Network Advisor (BNA) to enable and disable AG mode and configure AG features on a switch. This
document describes configurations using the CLI commands. Refer to the Fabric OS Command
Reference Manual, the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide, or the Brocade Network Advisor User
Guide for more information about AG support in those tools.

Chapter 3, Managing Policies and Features in Access Gateway Mode

Under “Considerations for the Brocade 6505 and 6510”:

The Brocade 6505 and 6510 switches are shipped in Fabric OS Native mode, but can function in
either Fabric OS Native mode or Brocade Access Gateway mode. They are also supported in Access
Gateway cascaded configurations. All ports on demand (POD) licenses must be present to support
Access Gateway.
