Optional Features
If the switch is online, activating switch binding populates the Membership List in the
Switch Binding - Membership List dialog box (Product Manager) with the following
WWNs currently connected to the switch, depending on the connection policy set in
the State Change dialog box:
•
WWNs of devices connected to F_Ports (F_Port connection policy). The WWN is
the WWN of the attached device's port.
•
WWNs of switches connected to E_Ports (E_Port connection policy). The WWN
is the WWN of the attached switch.
•
WWNs of devices connected to F_Ports and switches connected to E_Ports
(all-ports connection policy).
Note the following:
•
When the Switch Binding feature is first installed and has not been enabled, the
Switch Membership List is empty. When you enable Switch Binding, the
Membership List is populated with WWNs of devices, switches, or both that are
currently connected to the switch.
•
If the Edge Switch is offline and you activate switch binding, the Membership List
is not automatically populated.
•
Edits to the Switch Binding Membership List will be maintained when you enable
or disable Switch Binding.
After enabling Switch Binding, you prohibit devices and/or switches from connecting
with switch ports by removing them from the Membership List in the Switch Binding
Membership List dialog box. You allow connections by adding them to the
Membership List. You can also add detached nodes and switches as well.
