83CLI Reference Guide for Directors and Edge Switches
config.security.switchBinding Commands
Switch Binding CLI commands allow you to enable the product to communicate
only with nodes, switches, and directors that are listed on the Switch Binding
Membership List (SBML). Switch Binding restricts connections to only the
devices listed on the SBML and allows no other devices to communicate with the
switch. When an unauthorized WWN attempts to log in, it is denied a connection
and an event is posted to the Event Log. This provides security in environments
that include a large number of nodes, switches, and directors by ensuring that only
the specified set of WWNs are able to attach to the managed product.
You can use the Switch Binding commands to enable Switch Binding and to
create and change the SBML. Switch Binding is available only if the SANtegrity
Binding feature is installed.
The config.security.switchBinding commands include the following:
■ config.security.switchBinding.addMember, page 84
■ config.security.switchBinding.deleteMember, page 85
■ config.security.switchBinding.setState, page 86
■ config.security.switchBinding.show, page 88
Enable/Disable and Online State Functions
For Switch Binding to function, specific operating parameters and optional
features must be enabled. Also, there are specific requirements for disabling these
parameters and features:
■ Switch Binding can be enabled or disabled whether the product is offline or
online.
■ Enabling Enterprise Fabric Mode automatically enables Switch Binding.
■ You cannot disable Switch Binding if Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled.
However, if Enterprise Fabric Mode is disabled, you can disable Switch
Binding.
■ If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled and the director or switch is online, you
cannot disable Switch Binding.
■ If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled and the director or switch is offline you
can disable Switch Binding, but this also disables Enterprise Fabric Mode.
■ WWNs can be added to the SBML without regard to whether Switch Binding
is enabled or disabled
