Configuring Fabric Binding
Fabric Binding enables you to configure whether switches can merge with a selected fabric. This
provides security from accidental fabric merges and potential fabric disruption.
Fabric Binding requires the installation of a security feature called SANtegrity. See ”SANtegrity
features” on page 128 for details.
NOTE: You cannot disable Fabric Binding if Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled.
Enabling Fabric Binding
You enable Fabric Binding using the Fabric Binding dialog box. After you enable Fabric Binding,
use the Membership List to add switches that you want to allow in the fabric.
1. Select Configure > Fabric Binding.
The Fabric Binding dialog box is displayed (Figure 59).
