Fabric Binding Membership Terminology
Two types of FBMLs are configured using the CLI:
■ Active FBML: When fabric binding is active, the active FBML is the list of
fabric members with which the product is allowed to communicate. If fabric
binding is disabled, this list is empty.
■ Pending FBML: A list used to configure an FBML before it is made active on
the product. Changes to the pending FBML are not implemented in the fabric
until they are saved and activated using
config.security.fabricBinding.activatePending.
The following terms apply to the switches and directors that are part of the
FBMLs:
■ Local: The switch or director product that you are configuring. This is a
required FBML member.
■ Attached: A switch or director that is currently in a fabric with the local
product. Any switch and director that is attached is a required FBML member.
■ Unattached: A switch or director that is not currently in a fabric with the local
product. These switches and directors are unattached if they have been added
manually to the pending FBML, or if they are segmented from the local
fabric.
Enable/Disable and Online State Functions
In order for Fabric Binding to function, specific operating parameters and optional
features must be enabled. Also, there are specific requirements for disabling these
parameters and features when the director or switch is offline or online. Be aware
of the following:
■ Because switches are bound to a fabric by World Wide Name (WWN) and
domain ID, the Insistent Domain ID option in the Configure Switch
Parameters dialog box is automatically enabled if Fabric Binding is enabled.
■ If Fabric Binding is enabled and the switch is online, you cannot disable
Insistent Domain ID.
