Command History
Usage Guidelines Fabric binding is configured on a per-VSAN basis. In a Fibre Channel VSAN, only the switch world
wide name (sWWN_ is required; the domain ID is optional.
A user-specified fabric binding list contains a list of switch WWNs (sWWNs) within a fabric. If an
sWWN attempts to join the fabric and that sWWN is not on the list, or the sWWN is using a domain ID
that differs from the one specified in the allowed list, the ISL between the switch and the fabric is
automatically isolated in that VSAN and the switch is denied entry into the fabric.
Examples The following example enters the fabric binding database mode and adds the sWWN and domain ID of
a switch to the configured database list:
switch(config)# fabric-binding database vsan 5
switch(config-fabric-binding)# swwn 21:00:05:30:23:11:11:11 domain 102
The following example deletes a fabric binding database for the specified VSAN:
switch(config)# no fabric-binding database vsan 10
The following example deletes the sWWN and domain ID of a switch from the configured database list:
switch(config)# fabric-binding database vsan 5
switch(config-fabric-binding)# no swwn 21:00:15:30:23:1a:11:03 domain 101
vsan vsan-id Specifies the VSAN. The ID of the VSAN is from 1 to 4093.
swwn switch-wwn Configures the switch WWN in dotted hex format.
domain domain-id Specifies the specified domain ID. The domain ID is a number from 1 to 239.
