Installation Tasks
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
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. You cannot disable Insistent Domain
ID while Fabric Binding is active and the switch is online.
• If Fabric Binding is enabled and the switch is online, you cannot
disable Insistent Domain ID.
• If Fabric Binding is enabled and the switch is offline, you can
disable Insistent Domain ID, but this will disable Fabric Binding.
• You cannot disable Fabric Binding or Switch Binding if Enterprise
Fabric Mode is enabled. However, if Enterprise Fabric Mode is
disabled, you can disable Fabric Binding, Switch Binding, or both.
For More Information To enable, disable, and configure this option, refer to the Fabric
Binding section of Chapter 8, “Optional Features,” in the McDATA
Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Manager User Manual (620-005001).
Switch Binding
This feature is managed through the Switch Binding submenu options
available on the element manager Configure menu. Using Switch
Binding, you can specify devices and switches that can attach to
switch ports. This provides security in environments that include a
large number of devices by ensuring that only the intended set of
devices attach to a switch or director.
Configuring Switch Binding - Overview
To configure switch binding, you must first activate the feature using
the Switch Binding State Change dialog box while selecting the type of
port where you want to restrict connection (connection policy).
Possible selections are E_Ports, F_Ports, or all types.
If the switch is online, activating switch binding populates the
Membership List in the Switch Binding - Membership List dialog box
(element manager) with the following WWNs currently connected to
the switch, depending on the connection policy set in the State Change
dialog box:
• WWNs of devices connected to F_Ports (F_Port connection
policy). The WWN is the WWN of the attached device's port.
