■ WWNs of devices connected to F_Ports and switches connected to E_Ports
(all-ports connection policy).
Notes:
■ 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 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 director or 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.
